Deutschlaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand! Natülich werden sie England nach Hause schicken, wie immer. Sorry England, I will continue to support you in all other things

North, I know you have been away for some time from the adopted motherland but contain yourself. This IS England. While they are great at many things football is just not one of them. Ask yourself, when was the last time they BEAT a “big” team? Like Germany, Italy, Argentina or Holland? Unless they start doing that for at least a decade, they cant talk. Save your energy. Beating Slovenia by 1 goal does not suddenly make them all Pales. It doesn’t even take a football expert to know this. p.s. I hope Schweinsteiger will be fit to play Sunday and Klose will be back on hand.

It doesn’t actually say Somalis were involved? Just that it’s an immigrant town with a high number of Somalis? It is implied but it looks to me more of a prejudiced opportunistic chance to link the violence to ‘Mogadishu’ and confirming this link by calling the place ‘Little Mogadishu’.

Quiet time, alone time is natural and good…but humans are social creatures, being with people is necessary. C&H, there are times I think all these self-improvement advice books are not really helpful. Not all information out there is WISDOM and sometimes this culture of dissecting yourself isn’t doing individuals any favours. It’s too self-centred, almost looking for problems where there aren’t any or encouraging stream-lined 'good' behaviour.

Well obviously if you think the height of life is sitting in your sunny garden having a fag & a glass of wine, as so many of these intellectuals think, you have no reason to live. Ibti, despite its dark content, I thought Children of Men was an excellent film.

Deleted, I have the same one. It’s quiet good. I love the US/Australian measurement system, so Somali like, one cup of this, half a cup of that, 1 tea spoon and 1 table spoon of this. None of this exact grams and millilitres we use in the UK. Tuujiye, not the one for presentation are we? Lol Hope your day improves.

^^You just reminded me, I still have your B’Day gift from when you cancelled your B’day dinner and it was a lovely cooking book from the famous NY Magnolia Bakery. Will bring it next time.

A healthy distance? Sounds very difficult though.

lol@KK, I hate to say it, but it’s either like Juxa said, she got qualified, oh she is exaggerating Somali style and is a Support Assistant/ “Technical” Assitant of some sort. In that case, you’re really not a teacher Sheh, When it comes to forgiveness, half the time it’s not for them, it’s for you, it’s healthy to forgive.

KK, Oh, I don’t know about ESL teaching. I think the minimum was a degree and TEFL qualification. Waa ban yaabe. You need a good degree plus post-graduate qualification (equal to Masters) to be even a primary school teacher. As long as she is not teaching kids.

What kind of teacher KK?

C&H, I'm staying put for the summer but hopefully in Autumn/Winter (when it's horrible) my travel plans will pick up, Insha Allah.

Yeah but UK is 6 weeks, compared to 2 and a half to 3 months for most of Europe... but then again, UK does have the highest working mothers in EU. I would love to have months and months off. What's your plan C&H?

Not really, massive maigrane. Hoping to head off early.

Afternoon all. Deleted are you off today? I thought your long weekends kicked in?

^^lol, sun is good for you. LOZ, Sleep! In desperate need of it. Adigana?

I went for a walk, sat in the park for a bit. Not feeling too good. Might go home soon.

LOL hello...such a lovely warm day out.

Afternoon all...quiet a few ppl around.

Erm yes I know that but I am talking about the calcium content? Never mind, will look it up on my way home. Tnx anyway.

Does soya milk have same amount of calcium as animal milk?

^^Spoken like a true shoppa-holic C&H, if you're mood hasnt improved I suggest a nice work out or long walk, followed by a shower and some serious dikir and supplementary prayers if possible. That will keep you chilled.

Double hyphen, do you have the permission of the parents of these underage boys to display their photos on a public forum? I lost my patience with that show after season 2.

Good luck for the exam Juxa, Insha Allah you'll do well.

Give them a piece
