Altogether now:

Engerland, Eng - er - land, Engeeeerland!!!

I've got my St Georges flags out and will be rooting for our boys.

C'mon England!

Arnie - looks like a tasty piece of kit! how many 'friends' can watch what the kit is streaming? I mean, for example, if you are streaming the world cup final etc, can two or more people log in on your account and watch? If so, could we perhaps test it out...?? I'm happy to be a guniea pig :D In ter...

shafique

cool.

I've had a look at the US website for the specs, and it appears that only one remote connection to a box is allowed

However, if you can stream the content through a pc, I'm sure it can be shared for all using something like ORB.. but I'm not that technical, perhaps someone can help?

I agree that the tv packages here are crap - I'm considering cancelling my subs to Orbit even though it will cost me 500 dhs in cancellation fees (bastards). My wife is more than happy with her Indian movies package - Pehla Silver, though. I do find that I can download most of the tv programmes that...

I'm watching on the internet.

TVUplayer rocks - shows the american coverage on Espn2 and ABC.

Haven't figured out how to use ppLive yet - I hear it is better.

Cheers,

Mahmood, All the photo print shops I have seen here do digital photo printing - all the malls have photo print shops, so you shouldn't have any problems with this. I haven't used the service - but I think the prints are quite cheap - I seem to recall a figure of 1dhs per print, but I'm not sure. Che...

Van Damme could take out CN..

Steven Seagal - top dude, brilliant actor and winner of the best running style in celluloid history!

Boy - who would have thought someone took the trouble to compile all those CN jokes!

shafique

Strewth - you have farrr toooo much time on your hands.

I still can't believe I joined the forums before you and I've yet to hit 400 posts!!

shafique

from now on, only short posts..

shafique

.. from me to get my number of posts up

Congrats Arnie ... now I'll go back to my usual mode

We were all created 5 minutes ago with ready-made memories.

(That's one theory of creation! - the other is that we are all in the Matrix!)

Anyway - Wensleydale is a cracking cheese too

(Boy, still close to 4hrs to go before the England match)

shafique

Boy - do I feel old, I remember most of the songs on your birthdays! (Well, except for Arnie's, of course

)

Anyway - class songs on my birthday:

US - Let it be - Beatles
UK - Bridge over troubled waters - Simon and Garfunkle

shafique

Xbit - you're pulling our legs aren't you?

If not, look up the word Phillestine

shafique

Strewth - Hiya seems to have infected this forum!

shafique

Maybe I meant Phil Collins? Or maybe I was just apoplectic at the comment about Stevie? Or maybe I was just not arsed about being pedantic about spelling :) Or maybe I thought it would be funny/ironic to ask someone to lookup a mis-spelled word...:) In reality, I have to admit, I couldn't recall the...

Yeah Liban, you seem to know an awful lot about the subject of these ladies of the screen!

Watching the news coming out of Gaza today, I note the contrasting views of the attack on the Israeli outpost in Gaza in which a couple of soldiers was killed and one taken hostage. The Palestinian government spokesman says it was an attack in retalliation for the 20 plus civilians that have been ki...

I've just finished reading a fascinating book that I recommend to everyone - Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything ~ Steven D. Levitt, Stephen J. Dubner Have a look at Amazon for reviews - it is very readable and does make one think about cause and effect on various ...

I guess this is an answer to the Americans who have brought out 'Kafir' range of clothing: http://www.cafepress.com/cr_kafir_gear.31483814 I take a little exception to you calling your the website 'Islamic', but I guess selling clothing with 'Muslim' on it may qualify as 'Islamic'. The best garb a M...

shafique

Liban,

Yes - I'll be there - looking forward to meeting you all.

cheers,
Shafique

I congratulate you then on your sales technique for your business venture. I just was communicating my feelings when I clicked through to your site and was greeted with a hard sell for the T-shirts when I was expecting a "Islamic" website. I can't change my first reaction of distaste for t...

shafique

As I said, I can't change my first impressions.

I still think the t-shirts are over-priced, I know the cost of FoL shirts wholesale.

Good luck with the site and don't mind me - I'm just an old cynic and do try to think before I write, but thanks for the advice.

Ian, If you note, I am just extending the arguements laid out in the book about the causes of the reduction of crime in the US to the rise in abortions. I actually enjoyed the book and didn't feel cheated by it (and I too have a reasonable grasp of economic theory) - but then again, I didn't pay for...

shafique

Raidah, I have had the patience to read your post, and I am sure many people here will. The views you have expressed are perfectly valid and I for one will not criticise anyone for holding these views, as they relate to how one chooses to enter into relationships and when one decides to be active in...

shafique

Salaam, My opinion is that all targeted killings of innocent women and children and civilians in general is wrong. I do not believe this can be condoned. With this general principle, I do not believe that all Hamas' previous tactics of suicide bombings and missiles aiming at settlers was right - and...

Until we examine all the evidence for general taxation, I can't see how we can come to an informed decision either way. As I said, I'll let you start the new thread and dig out the evidence - I'll do the critiquing of your evidence. This thread is about Jizya - once we agree on the facts (and we see...

shafique

So, the answer is 'yes, I only have one line from Theophanes to back up my allegation that 7000 Romans were killed' As for 'reduced' - I'm sorry, but you will understand that I don't trust your third hand accounts any more, please give the actual quote from Baldhuri and not what wiki (or some other ...

shafique

You have a weird definition of contradictions then. May I suggest you look up the meaning of 'alternative' and 'appropriate' in the context of punishments. Perhaps you are one of those Christians that believe that all adulterers should be forced to divorce - as the NT allows divorce in the case of a...

shafique

So, let's clear this up. Those who believe Matthew is wrong to blame Jews have their arguments - it is clear that historically Christians HAVE blamed the Jews for deicide and that this view changed in the 20th century. To absolve the Jews of responsibility, the 20th century christians have had to co...
