^ I remember some lady in the bank whose card got stolen, thief spent £32 on flowers and paid for a room in a cheap hotel, the woman was fuming that he booked such a cheap room! thanks for the article btw.

@ CL, someone should send out a search party. Everyone is entitled to a bit of drama once in a while when they are feeling overwhelmed and I am guessing this is not the time you would be preoccupied with expressing yourself as eloquantly as possible. *imagines Ng working for the samaritians* :eek:

Today ice cream is the answer

stunning.

B, I think we all have moments like this, don't worry. Say alhamdulliah, try your best and jst get through this tym. You can be sure it will not be forever. :eek: Shocked @ some nomads reponses, sometimes silence is the best policy.

funnnny.

And hopefully belonging to a very rich arab shiekh as opposed to an old somali man with 3 families.

I am really sorry if this is true but its hilarious. Did the pass have a picture of an elderly woman with a perm on it? (sorry)

blues. NW: exhaustion

Faqri @ broke/ skint? (Wild guess) New word: toes

first thought: Coconut. new word: stars

what I don't understand is why bring them back? Let them stay and live their life in this new place if you have taken the tough choice of moving them. A couple of years or a few months won't change anything. I have seen whole families relocate and this is by far the better option but obviously much more difficult. One of them (9 years old) couldn't even wait for me to finish the question and replied "I want to become a truck driver, like my uncle". . I think most boys of 9 want to drive some sort of heavy vehicle, hardly a cause for concern. As long as there are some positive male role models in the child's life I would say their job is not really a issue.

very strange conversation in my living room, i know some of these poor mums are desperate but you have to think if they can't deal with their child will flying them half way around the world help? btw top destinations were a) somalia b)kenya c) yemen There were loud voices in support of Malaysia and Sudan as well. I wanted to suggest Siberia but not enough was known about this destination to make it a contender. What's SOlers take on this issue, do you know kids that have been "sorted out" by exile? And if you were in these mothers' position where would you send a child to help them see sense?

Marshallah they look fab, love the graduation outfits.

FB, if you're looking for a better lifestyle/weather the UK is the last place to consider! The weather is usually grim (majority of the year) and that affects everything else. Price of living is ridiculous and its not that easy to find a job with this ongoing recession. I think its more of a place to visit rather than to settle.

JB please teach the brother a few dance moves, it would add SO much to the song.

Ameeen.

organisation is the key, have plan b, c and d. These are kids after all. I found this was half the battle. Don't threaten sanctions if you are not prepared to follow them through. Smile! and finally if you're in the UK, job hunt, moan, get resources and generally survive teaching on the Tes. http://www.tes.co.uk/Home.aspx

^ who is ill? May Allah make it easy for them. Hi all. OMG i think I see the sun! :eek:

^ very practical of you B and H! Don't smoke but I have a thousand expensive habits I want to break

^ that's all I could look at too. Hardly the tiimet o share a joke. :mad: May Allah make it easy for her, this is the stuff of nightmares, not only losing your young child but being held as a suspect.

I don't think she has these tattoos on her back. It's just lazy journalism. The people who wrote this article copied it from a recent Daily Mail one. In that one, they had a picture of a model (from the film that Ayan Hirsi made) with tattoos on her back. But they made the mistake of writing Ayan's name under the photo. Trust me, it's not her. I have (on behalf of SOL of course) scrutinised the photo closely and concluded, without a shadow of a doubt, that the woman with the tattoos was white. A half hour well spent, we do appreciate your efforts in the pursuit of truth Ng. I saw that picture too but never thought it was Ayan's back hahaha, that is beyond lazy journalism its blooming scandalous. :eek:
