How ironic, only last night i was pondering over my plans for the next five years ( actually 4 years). My list is plain and simple: 1. Get married 2. Go into business ( 9 to 5 is not for me no more) and somewhere in between acheive some of my other dreams ( some wild and others close to the impossible )

^^ 187 This is the World Cup time u put ur club allegiances to one side and enjoy the beatifull game. Messi will have no chance to shine, the oposing players are already aware of his threats since everyone is tipping him to shine. The Ivorians and the Dutch will not let him play and may man mark him. Luci Toni is the player to watch and the German youngesters will no doupt relish playing at home, so watch out for them.

I hear it is extremly excting time for the 'Fadhu ku dirir' gang and brisk business for the Somali biibitooyin. Apart from that am still gettin to grips with all this different warlords AND how this new develoment may affect Somalia, i'd hate to see another all out war. The courts now need to establish order and governance pretty soon.

^^ Gerrad can never shine in the England team, they been trying for years to figure where he best suits in the England line-up and still Sven has no idea so he be roting with Lambard in going forward as well having some holding defensive role.

Originally posted by Tyjwania: ^ Whoever can beat the home team( Germany) deserves to win it all. I personally like to see one of the African teams win, preferrably Cameron , if not Brazil or Argentina. Five more days to go, let the countdown begin! War was isku xaartay. Cameroon ku lahaa, altough they are the best team not to qualify this year.

The true value of women = a nice house and she is sold.

^^ I wish some of you will reflect on the long-term consequencies this current in-fighting will have on Somalia, while am delighted to see the Warlords losing ground and support the question is will this renewed fighting merly result in further counter-attack by the Warlords. The only group happy with the situation are the enemies of Somalia. I do hope the Islamic realise this enemy and formulate stragedies to defeat it ... and force is not the way to it.

^^^ What are you ranting about, i say Europe deserve to have 13 teams if not more. If the qualifying was based purely on Footballing apilities if there was a free for for all qualifying system, whereby all the teams in the world are pitted against regardless of their contenant then most of the South American teams will qualify, so will half of Europeans, only two or maybe three teams from Africa and at most one from Asia u can forget about the Americas and Asiana. So u could say the current system actually favours teams from Africa and Asia and the Americas. As to your suggestion that the world cup is fixed in some way .. well Football is big business and Fifa sole aim is to maximise revenue .. to do that u need great games between the big teams at latter stage of the competition and also allow room for few upsets so new fans can be created.

^ Talk about services and support available to Somalis, but we simply do not know how to use best utilise these services. And community leaders are more concerned lining their pockets with cash than helping anyone.

I do accept there are genuwine single-parent famlies but there is great difference between the actual figure and the figure that are claiming as a single-parent. I do know the jobs avaialble to us Somalis are meagure and the income from it can hadly sustain a family, but we have a made a culture to depend on benefits without seeking ways to escape the cycle. It would be a tragedy come 10 years and we still largely dependent on Government hand-outs and stuck in inner city slumps ... we should learn from past migrants, the Afro-carripeans and the Irish who made little progress. But somehow i think will go the way of Asians, small business magnates but still cunning the Gov.

^^ Accept U not Blonde a good steamed soup with lots of herbs and spices should do the trick ...

Talk about the Ceydh being halal. Few years back the women in my area got all religious and therefore started questioning wheather benefit was halal, so they asked a Somali sheik. He was educated enough and did some research on the matter, after few months his answer was is was deemed permisible to take this money as the survival of the family depended on it. Basically his reasoning was that in this country one cannot live soley on the Income of the dad alone since rent is high and they had to sent money back home. Personally i think lying about what Allah given u is haram no matter what the circumstances are. But saying that sometimes is makes economically sound to be on benefits, especially if u are a large family, but as long u don't lie about then is ok. Anyways these days Tax Credits make life a lot easier and increasing number of families are going down this routine.

Dreams huuh, well i get a glimpse of future while am awake ( nothing serious just a visit from family or one those everyday happenings ) if i make nothing of it then it always comes true, but if i dwell on or tell some1 then it never happens.

Well if some og u think cooking for loved ones gives u satisfiction .. there is nothing more satisfying then being cooked a good meal. right i propose a contest to find the best cook in SOL. all of u who watn to take part please state ur intention now, then i will go around testing these meals and declare a winner at the end of it. only Londenors can take part, i don't wanna travel around unless theAdmin is willing to reimburse my costs. i know am such a nice person for volunteering as guinea goat someone has do to it ...

Best way to look hot: wear all the skimpy tight watever u want to wear and just cover a decent Cabaayad or similar thing and any sister will look hot as heaven ...

Stoic, you have TO tell her straight out, if she's a true freind then she will know u only looking out for her own interest. Ladies: We appericite healthy looking bodies, but over fatness can make sure seriously unattractive, only few girls can get away with being overweight.

^^^ Farm, Housing benefit takes care of the rent. Ahura: Stats show most Somali men work, while offically most women are single parents for Ceydh purposes.

Ivory Coast is everyones' dark fardho ( literally too). the team is well balanced, with quality in all the vital areas, defence, midfeild and atack, they are young and hungry too ...only worry for them is teams know them well already and they are not being treated as minorty team. I'd hate to say this but the Argies will flop again. if i was betting man, the Chezcks are the team to fear, tournments always suit them.

worst job, FONES 4 U ... lovely two day training in one of those plush hotels ... but they expect u to be sales freak, the same tacky lines and script. worked one day in branch and never returned ... and they never paid me for tat day's work. Street fundraising comes a close second, but i did enjoy the little games we played throughout the day to keep focus, but one weekend was enuff. wost full-time job was at a bank: Imagine the excitment of first job after Uni. but retail banking sucks, sales and more sales, tats all it is and it seriously clashed with my basic moral values ( but it made Mummy proud , Somalis thinking working in a bank tops everything else) well i quit after 6 months to the uproar of my family and freinds.

Hustle: maybe i should have become a hustler. Dr.Who: am getting seriously hooked thanks to my little cousins,

Congrats Justice, but i wonder what am gonna do with your address now, am not one to gate grash a party, so i think i'll just dump it in the pin.

my form dropped, i can no longer go on to the site, apprently it has been deemed the computer geeks at the department as a Games site ... maybe i should have kept to myself instead of telling of the guys at work, we were just about to start to a league there for ourselves ...
