Thanks the Conservatives, under it's radical education minister Michael Gove, are planning to introduce ''American style'' education system to the UK. i've hear A Levels will be scrapped and secondary school will last until 18 years of age. i'm not sure of this policy, you know. A Levels are useful for transitioning folks from being children to young adults (i felt the difference). very soon the UK will adopt other symbols of the American education system like proms, class valedictorian and pop quizzes and an examination system that continually churns out ignorant and linear-thinking zealots. cool:

LOOOOL.....NOT! it'll be approaching 10 years, by the time you complete your A2's, to the day i had completed sixth form college. in those A2 days, Al looked forward to uni and knew very much of the what lied ahead. a new life beckoned at University and i didnt waste time in throwing myself at its deep end LOOOL. this was where i grew, as i'm sure you'll come to grow too. in uni, everything changed, the old glad-rags and the bookworm rims were out of the window. instead came in the newer refined Al, who, as though, he'd gone through Matthew Kelly's Star's In Their Eyes changing room, metamorphed into an A-list celebrity. amazing times and i've got the pictures to prove it too.... :p LOOOOOOOOOOOL :cool:

this song never gets old.

i've just been informed its EID on the 15th. how is this even possible? i sort of knew people were on Hajj but EID two days from now time caadi maha y'all......:cool:

LOOOOL by saying blue for dhaqan.....it's quite obvious you're trying to politicise this mashruuc, particularly in equating Somalia and its blue flag with Somali culture. naga daa wax yaahas iyo waxyaabo kalo la mid ah, dee. :D p.s - thanks for the moral support. you know it's appreciated. nuff respect.

After this I'm sure some of us SOLers, can help to donate books in much needed topics. War hadal haan mabuuxshee SOLers inanka yaan lagu eegin shaqada abti, thanks for the hambalyos. it means a great deal to me, really. i've had all sorts of people insult me for my benevolent endeavours, ma garatay? one guy said.....''maxaad library sameyn, dadkan dhufaanka gacmohooda ku yaal ayaa books uskageyn eh''... one SOLer contacted me via the social media with words of encouragement. this is appreciated but they're very unlikely to send me dosh ee maxa iga shan iyo toban ah hadalkiisa.

^^^ today's donated books. thanks y'all. that's 113 books in Af Soomaali or written by Somalis or about Somalis. there's 12 about SL ^^^ the entire collection so far. about 915 + 3 = 918. still not happy with this achievement. :mad: this mashruuc is proving to be impossible. i have the necessary books, i have a stockpile of furniture and all sorts of stationary including a printer, now. i could just start but i'm just not so sure, you know. maxa tala ah? in the last weeks i have secured, or at the very least being considered as a accredited provider of sorts. we'll see. inshallah kheyr nooh. i have found a large spacious premises (all for free) but the tenant is refusing to move out. annoyed by this. i could have done the necessary repairs, painting and what have yous, you know. but patience is a virtue, somaha? i'm going back to my home town for the Christmas holidays (pending approval of leave). my family and friends have started collecting books and stuff. i recently spoke to SOMCARGO over the phone and they need the exact weight of the goods to give a quote. WTF? ya u sheega i don't have a clue. not friendly people ee sida uula soco. ......i might visit ikea too. ya oog?

is there a board/chamber of commerce horta? these quasi-governmental organisations are very useful in encouraging investment.
