^^^^ Warya, enjoy this one more time.

Here is more: Could not do better By Jessica Rose A 16-year-old boy from an inner-city school in Leicester has won a scholarship to the famous Eton College. As one of the world’s most famous schools, Eton College has educated prime ministers, writers and scientists. The college’s classrooms have also been graced by royalty, including Princes William and Harry. But now a teenager from an inner city school in Leicester has won a scholarship to study with pupils from rich and prestigious families. Sixteen-year-old Abdi Rahman Sudi, from Oak Street in Highfields, has been awarded the Joe Burrell Bursary. The Moat Community College pupil will be able to use the award to pay his fees at Eton, which are around £22,000 a year. Abdi is currently studying for 10 GCSEs and will start his A Levels at Eton in September 2005. He will do physics, maths, economics and government and politics. Family background Abdi was born in Somalia but has lived in Sweden for much of his life. His mother, Osob Kullane, who is a teaching assistant, moved the family to the UK in 1999, although his father, Abdullah, still lives partly in Somalia. Abdi has two brothers, Idris, aged 21, and 23-year-old Hassan, who are both studying at De Montfort University. His 28-year-old sister Idil works in IT. Posh Eton Eton College, which is on the River Thames near Windsor, has educated 19 British Prime Ministers, as well as a many famous writers and scientists. But about 20 per cent of its 1,290 pupils are given scholarships, which means youngsters from less well off backgrounds can also go there. What does Abdi think? Abdi said he did not think he would find it hard to adapt to life there. He said: “I met some of the pupils when I went to an open day at Eton and they were really polite and friendly. “I’m going there very much for the academic side of things – but I hope I can benefit socially as well.†Abdi said he would like to go to Cambridge University and work in the field of economics or engineering. Enthusiastic Abdi Eton College headmaster Tony Little said the most impressive thing about Abdi was his drive and enthusiasm. He said: “He struck us as having an extraordinary determination for a boy of his age. “Abdi did this all by himself – he looked up all the information on our website and sent off for the application form without much encouragement from other people.†Most Eton pupils belong to the Church of England. But Mr Little said there were about 20 Muslims at the college and they had a special tutor to help with their religious needs. last updated: 20/04/05 Post your comments on the article if you want to

^^^ Ma Waxa lagu Yedhi NGONGE af somaliga ma yaqaan? Waa runtood.

No comment on your news, saaxib. It’s all probably genuine anyway. However, I still don’t understand why Somali news reporters always sound like some drunken old Somali lady (if such a person existed) that makes up news as she goes along! wararkii ugu dambeeyay ee naga soo gaaraya Nairobi ayaa waxey sheegayan “ Waxa lay yedhi†is written all over that report of yours. Ya yedhi dee?

Can just imagine a bunch of Ugandans coming to Somalia having already been taught the price of a fresh bundle of qaat and the polite way in which to ask a waiter for faraxal!

I have no idea what all this is about!

Phanta's idea of shiisha :

Make your own poster here

^^^ Thanks. I was just about to go out and have a quick look. I'm going to go after 5.00 now. PS If you're planning to turn up, make sure you're smartly dressed and looking good. For in addition to making a good impression on the Saudis (and the rest of the world), you have to make a good impression on all the SOL girls that are planning to turn up. They'll be screaming and shouting about the injustice of it all, so make sure that injustice has nothing to do with your clothes (you know how these fish girls are). (Bananas at the ready).

^^ Is it an all day thing? YOU NEVER POSTED THE TIME OF THIS "PROTEST"!

^^^ That's fighting talk, that is.

Looks like Inter will be banned from the competition next season. 3-0 to Milan. Game abandoned! Hope the Juve fans don't act in the same way tomorrow.

@Ame Funny that you should mention that! I was talking to our assistant director the other day (after returning back from holiday) about Arabs and living in an Arab country. He was criticising his own country’s system but reserved all his anger and scathing comments for the Saudis! He thinks they’re racists! :eek: I really don’t understand why supposedly sane, normal and intelligent people are prone to making such sweeping generalisations! PS He's a UAE national.

^^^ Not same building but close enough to launch my deadly bananas at you Edited: Sorry.

lol@FF

^^^ It's not a school in the American sense (as in University). It is REALLY a school (more like high school). His chances of going to an Ivy league uni are increased. (Yes, I said Ivy league).

The rotten bananas will be purchased especially for that occasion. It all depends on who annoys me most, the Somalis or the Saudis. Of course, this slight inconvenience will mean that for one day at least, I shall not be able to claim the proud title of being “the only Somali in the villageâ€. Maybe I should take the day off. :rolleyes:
