^ They're the evil trees Val was talking about...

^Ash Tree here as well. I wouldnt mind an Apple/Fig/Olive tree partner...

A shout out to my fellow armchair managers... Just wondering if any of the members here play FM2006 at all? I've been playing the game religiously since the championship manager series back in 99/00 season. It's so addictive, I remember a few all-night sessions back in the day, I had no social life what so ever, I'm talking about 6-8 hours straight...everyday! I haven't played much since I started uni last year tho, I've been having all-nighers for a different reason all together Anyways, if you haven't heard of it then you're missing out big time... Imagine taking over the hot seat at San Siro and guiding Inter to 10 consecutive titles and competing against the likes of Barca, Milan, Bayern in the CL.... or even leading Rushden and Diamonds from the conference all the way to premiership and champions league glory... ah...been there, done it...

Personally, I wouldn't think any less of a woman if she asked me to marry her. I'm not talking about dropping down on one knee in a packed restaurant/party or having a police driver pull me over...etc etc. If she brought the topic up in a conversation/discussion or something like that, then that would be fine. I see a few people mentioning sayida khadiija (ra) and how she asked the Prophet (saw) to marry her. She didnt ask him directly. She sent one of her maids to talk to him and ask why he wasn't married yet. The Prophet (saw) replied that no woman would have him (something a long those lines, can't remember correctly). So the girl told the Prophet (saw) that khadiija (ra) would marry him. When he asked how the girl knew that, she replied that khadiija ra thinks that he's a great, honest individual. So the Prophet (saw) went to khadiija (ra) and asked to marry her. Maybe brother Nur can confirm that story? Sisters, don't lose your self respect, no man nowadays is worth it.

Redknapp? sorry i think i was high when i posted that, didnt mean redknapp. "HAMMERS TO LAND TEVEZ & MASCHERANO By Graeme Bailey - Created on 31 Aug 2006 West Ham United are set to pull off a major coup by the signing Argentine stars Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano, skysports.com can reveal. Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United were all thought to be competing for the duo, along with some of the continents elite including Bayern Munich and Milan. However, The Hammers have struck a deal with Media Sports Investments (MSI) - who own the rights to the Corinthians pair. Portsmouth were also in line to broker a move, but it seems MSI have decided that a move to West Ham will best serve their prize assets. The deal is believed to be initially for a season-long loan for the duo - but it could become permanent if all parties are happy. The pair are both currently in England ahead of this weekend's Brazil versus Argentina clash at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium. A statement on Tevez's website claims a move is done for himself and Mascherano. "Carlitos Tevez and his former Corinthians team-mate, Javier Mascherano, has signed a contract to play with West Ham United of England," read the statement." I'm just glad Liverpool played West Ham already, let me put it that way.

Mad props to West Ham/Redknapp for pulling off the surprise transfers of the season imo.

"...ootkac iyo canjeero" seriously is that you Liiban?

Is it time to join up now? what's the league number/name?

My dream home...it's hard to describe really. Non of those MTV-Cribs style 'houses' appeal to me at all. My dream home would be on an exotic island, where it doesn't rain, away from heavily built-up environments, there would be other people living there as well, not just me. It would be made mainly from wood... ^A house like that would be too perfect. It must have plumbing in the toilet and stuff (i wouldnt wanna go to a bush dig up a hole and...you know the rest). There would be a separate shower with clean water, again, wouldn't wanna bathe in salty water for the rest of my life now do I. The shower would be just outside the house, at the back, an open shower preferably. Every morning I'd go snorkeling too. The sea would be my own aquarium. My bedroom would have a giant waterbag for a bed, with exotic fishes inside..just kidding, no fishes. Outside there would be 2 coconut trees. With a hammock in between. That would be my relaxing area, I'd stare at the clear sky every night. I would also have a beautiful maid who'd do stuff for me, and make me a cocktail drink every day during sunset. I wouldn't have a real kitchen at all, most of my food would be cooked as soon as I catch it, on a fire just infront of the house. My nearest neighbour would be a couple of hundred meters away, I want my own space, there are nosy peopple out there. Town wouldn't be far away tho, you need to meet new people every now and then. That would pretty much be my 'dream' home. Now then, which lucky lady here would like to join me? I've been watching a lot of programmes like 'Ray Mears Bushcraft', 'Around the world with Michael palin', and 'Tribe' on the documentary channels lately, and the way some people live out there is truely amazing. ...alright, i finished. You can stop laughing now.

*Cruise Control* An elderly couple had just purchased a brand-new RV and headed off across the country. The old man explained to his wife that the salesman had showed him how to use the vehicle's "auto-pilot", he said that all he had to do was press the button marked "cruise" and relax. So the old man set his cruise control and went in the back for a nap. He had just gotten comfortable when the RV went off the cliff. *The Deal* There's a little old lady whose son bought himself a brand new car before being sent to Vietnam. He gets killed and the car sits in her garage covered up for the next twenty years until she finally brings herself to sell it. She places an ad in the local paper selling the car for the same amount her son paid for it, $2000. When a potential buyer shows up to look at it he discovers it is a 1963 Corvette Stingray in mint condition. *No Radio* A man who was tired of having his vehicles broken into specifically asked for no radio when he bought his new car. He put a sign in the windshield that said in large letters: "NO RADIO". One day he returned to it to find the windshield broken anyway. Beside his sign he found a note that read: "Just checking." *The Rattle* A man purchased a brand new luxory sedan, loaded with extras and very expensive. The car was perfect except for a persistant, annoying rattle. He took the car back to the dealer and had every part of it checked and tightened, but the rattle continued. Finally he had the car completely dismantled and inside one of the door panels they found the source of the rattle, it was several nuts and bolts tied to a string with a note attached. The note read: "I GUESS YOU FINALLY FOUND THE RATTLE." *The Smashed VW* A couple had been awakened by the sound of a crash on the edge of their property one night. They looked out and saw two eighteen-wheelers had been in a head on collision and immediately called 911. The policeman told them both drivers had been killed on impact and asked if the trucks could stay there until the investigation was over. The couple agreed. A week later the angry homeowner called the policeman and demanded the wrecks be taken away immediately, when the officer arrived with the tow-truck he understood why. Coming from the crash was to most horrible stench he'd ever encountered. When they pulled the trucks apart they found the cause of the smell, in between the trucks was a VW Beetle, smashed flat with three people inside. *Threading the Needle* Three young men were out riding their motorcycles and the "daredevil" among them pulled way ahead. Deciding to put a scare into them he turned around and planned on riding right between them with his headlight off. He saw them coming and mustered as much speed as he could as they approached, unfortanately the two headlights he raced between belonged to a large truck. *The Unstealable Car* A man's biggest fear was that his new sportscar would be stolen and he went to great lengths to insure that didn't happen. Each night he backed the car carefully into the garage, chained the frame to the floor, set the alarm and locked the garage. One morning he entered the garage and was shocked to discover the car was exactly as he always left it, except it had been turned around! On the seat was a note, it read: "WHEN WE WANT IT, WE'LL COME GET IT."

If it's that important for you to find out the Prophet's (pbuh) race, he was born in Makkah, so look at the peopple living in the khaleej like UAE, Saudi, qatar, oman etc... what skin color do they have?

Hi there.. As we all know, everything we say, good and bad, is written down by the two angels Raqeeb and Ateed, and will be presented to us in the Judgement Day.(everyone nodding in agreement so far...?) OK...but what about the stuff we say online? like writing in the forums and chat rooms, is that written down as well? Am I gonna be judged on everything I've written on a chat room/forum for the past few years? Can anyone point me to a reliable source that can answer this? I looked for a similar topic on this section but I couldn't find any. .

Arabs are considered white? :confused:

Sevilla owned Barca right, left, and centre last night, it could've finished 5-0! What did they expect, Thuram and Zambrotta were left on the bench! Still, 3-0 was a bit harsh imo.

Now that's a sweet draw. A few big matches as well, Chelsea V Barca - Inter V Bayern - Real V Lyon - Lpool V PSV But...the biggest team of them all is missing I hope Milan crash and BURN!! :mad:

I used to watch it last year, the one with Stallone, but it was too 'hollywood' for my liking, the music during the fights, the sound effects, slow motion punches... peter manfredo was my fav tho. It's all about the Ultimate Fighter. UFC rules!

25 mins gone, nothing much happened. Did you see the liverpool fans waving the Lebanese flag before kick-off? Was that meant to provoke the Haifa fans or are they just showing their support for Hizbullah?
