Would it hurt less if she married another Somali brother for less money? Maybe they just gelled better and she was more comfortable with this revert. Perhaps the girl did not feel that secure in the relationship as she would just tell her family that you could not afford such a large amount. I really don't like revert bashing, they have enough to deal with adopting a new faith and lifestyle, we should be welcoming into the ummah and if they were destined to marry a Somali sister, what's the big deal?

Omg @ Juxa, did they buy anything? Mal, left mainstream last year hon, couldn't tell you. I know they got a new reading test @ end of year 1 but as far as I know they still doing end of ks1 sats. Gove will probably want to test them on British Kings and Queens since 1800s.

afternoon all, need some sun

Awwwwww......too cute.

hahaha@expats missing British TV. You'll be glad to know TV has very much gone down hill the last few years, very little original things worth watching. Channel 4 have resorted to something called googlebox, where you watch ppl watching tv and listen to what they say. Madness.com

white dresses all look the same to me

You feel sorry for the thief?! I hope you don't go around running away with other people's property everytime you feel like something to eat.

^ BismiAllah, scary stuff. Today some thug snached my phone and almost got himself killed in the process. It was a bit ironic he was nearly knocked down by two somali guys who turned out to be incredibly helpful.

Good morning all, roll on Thursday and holiday. Whoo What's on everyones minds today? Edit everyone except JBs!.

Middle of the road writers don't tend to have an emotional impact on their readers. This guy was talented and he used his gift to great effect. As to identity being meaningless, how much horsemeat have you been eating lately?

^ Depressing right. Although I don't think I could read what a 12 year old wrote without cringing!

Wow, amazing. I hope she continues to write.

Sad to hear, love that book.

So back to ur initial question. Men kept women void of their rights. But my point was the women's suffrage movement, along with first, second and third wave feminism did not systematically break down the patriarchy on their own. The patriarchial hold on society was loosened because men felt sufficient guilt, as a result of feminist activism, to cede rights to women. Men are physically stronger than women, and had at their disposal sufficent finacial and technological means to keep woman subjugated, but it was our benevolence rooted in chivalry that resulted in the 'emancipation' of women. This is hilarious.

The bloody nerve of that pervert. That's one brave, not mad lady.

I agree this is quite depressing.

haha@ this tread. To answer your question W, no, you can't talk to a person you do not like for the phone for so long and on a regular basis. I think it's one of two things a) she likes the attention and he probably flatters her and they just enjoy all the flirting b) she likes him and perhaps see's a future with him. Either way don't get involved I say.

stuff of nighmares
