^ It's a tough world, ey? NG, that's a no, I guess? Bummer. Paying any amounts of money is not yet realistic - maybe if I was to win the Lotto or somefink.

NG: Maba xumid. I wonder, will you be my wedding planner? I want everything but the owl bridesmaids (Serenity and my sisters will take their place). Whaddayasay?

I find the search facility works for me, but that would be a good addition if possible.

Originally posted by Valenteenah: Haven't tried it yet, but intend to. There are certain types of seafood that repulse me, mainly shellfish (the slimy, yucky variety like oysters, mussels, etc). It took about 28 years but I've finally gotten around to eating shell fish! I dined on this platter of mussels at a Belgian restaurant tonight... And you know what? It was rather tasty! Next: Oysters!!!! (Urg!)

Haven't you guys noticed how every girl has a major issue that she constantly weeps over on America's Next Top Model? It's the format of the show. This girl probably decided FGM was as good a crying placard as any (certainly better than 'I used to be fat' or 'I'm a single mum of two'). Blah. About the right to privacy debate, I think some of you have got the wrong end of the stick. Just because you found out somebody's name via Facebook or another website does not mean you should use it on this open forum. If members wanted to be referred to by their real names, they would use their names as usernames. A lot of you already know each other in real life or at least have become online friends over the years - do you refer to each other by your real names? Of course not. Why? Because it's neither ethical nor relevant. Now, I don't believe Underdog did it intentionally and I'm sure he would have edited his post if he could. So the fact that Marcas's name was left in the thread for ages is the fault of the Mods (yes, I'm talking to you FF). It should have been edited out immediately. I also think Ibtisam took it to a very personal level. Clearly she knows who Marcas is and she is using that knowledge against him. As he may not know her identity (I'm assuming here that he doesn't), this gives her an unfair advantage over him. Frankly, I don't think such conduct is right. Finally, I hope we can all learn something from this. Attack the ideas and not the people.

^ Hi back. Don't tell - you used to sport a nose stud at some point?

^ Bump ^ Isn't it about time we held another photo competition? We already missed out on 2007! Northener - how about it?

Originally posted by Adam Zayla: I think some of us need to learn to differentiate between marc's serious posts and when he just feels like clowning and being sarcastic. I agree, Adam. I think on this occasion waa lagu xad gudbay Marcas. I'm actually shocked at some of the comments posted.

I'm enjoying a lovely cup of tea and shortbread biscuits. Can life get any better?

^ Ever seen a goth hijabi? It's a pretty cool look. I love diversity in style. Neph - I considered piercing my lip about seven years ago when I was going through a particular phase but thankfully didn't. Piercings don't interest me now. Blessed - Congrats and best wishes. New bambinos are so delightful. :cool:

I just really dislike Liverpool FC. Anywho, I forgot about my bad luck - everybody I want to win loses, even if they were on a winning streak before I started supporting them. So, you see, the very fact that I wanted Liverpool to lose meant they won. I shot myself in the foot, so to speak. Now, I'm going to be clever and hope Arsenal lose tonight (at the risk of being dumped by my beloved). NG - Yeah, you got me there. Faheema, lol...they are always like that. Kids.

I have spent most of my spare time on catching up on movies in the last 4-5 months. It's been a fab experience. My sister has a massive DVD collection and I'm now seriously considering building up my own collection of Arnold Schwarzenegger films.

LoL...jokers.

^ I'm positive they will lose. I hate half term - annoying kids everywhere.

I really want to see it, but haven't gotten around to it yet. No spoilers please. What about Jumper? That looks good too.

^ Maybe she just wants good grades? Not one single person on my floor has received flowers, which is great.

Urm...what's wrong with Brixton again? And Liverpool is looking amazing these days. I definitely plan to visit before the end of the year, I'A. Cadaan, depending on your expectations you may love it or hate it. But either way, it could be a very expensive trip, so budget well!

^ LoL..OK then. I won't ask the obvious question. Tami, you've been missed! Je Jey, the 'mug shot' sounds more like tuujiye from his comment.

^ Hi Tami, haven't seen you posting for ages. How are you? Faarax B, your SOL identity has been hijacked , huh? At least he's a good looking dude (if the pic is his). Zafir, are you on FB? 94 members and none of the new additions have identified themselves! Makes you wonder what the point is.

[EDIT] North got in b4 I did. Watermelon juice? I dunno, I've only ever eaten melons, never drank the juice alone. Ever tried fake tan?

Far too many people. What do you think of sewing machines? Don't they look a bit alien?

It sounds like you just have too much work to do and not enough people to delegate it to. Could you not ask for your team to expand? Fight for an extra member staff to take some of the load off you.

A good future, I'A. Do you like the look of your fingers and toes?

Urm...it's not meant to be a candy shop, you know.
