Salam,

You know you are a Madina board addict when:

1) The first thing you do in the morning after praying fajar is to go to the board before leaving for school

2) You miss breakfast sometimes in the morning so you can stare at the 18" screen in front of you

3)You feel as if you have known at least some of these people for quite a while now

4) You like to act as an instigator to get bhaloo and Jannah/Se7en to sart fighting over cows

5) You exchange messages with Arsalan, bhaloo and Kashif off the board

6) You recommend Jannah.org to everyone

7) Your parents and siblings are tired of seeing you on Madina all the time

8) When family and friends tell you that you need to get a life! (away from madian).   :)

You know when you are an addict when you start telling your friends and family about the things people have been posting, and talking about the posters as though you have known them since you were a toddler. (I experienced this from another message board - I have yet to become addicted to this one. In time....)

Asalaamu aleikoum,

Safiyah:  I've only been to Hyde Park a few times.  I don't live in London any more so it's a bit tricky.  As far as I remember, a few brothers used to go there regularly: Br. Abur-Rahim Green, Br. Abu Sufiyan, et al. but I don't think that there is an official rotation to it.  Just whoever can make it makes it.

Tree: Yep, Bristol is SO cool.  Needs more Muslims though.  Or at least, the Muslims there need to be more organised.

I think I need to be more careful how I word my sentences.  This is strike 2!

Welcome to the board Muslima.

arshad: sure there are many diff english accents

there is posh english which is spoken mostly by those living in london centre/west , the cocknies(my lot) are the east londoners

the people out of london are classed by where they come from
-if u come from necastle -you will probably have a newcastle accent..
-if from liverpool-u will prabably have a liverpudlain's accent

the scotish speak scotish as thier language and they speak english with a certain accent
the same with the Irish...

there is a lot
then you can have the racial accents
if u r African -you might have a certain accent(even divisions within that)
if u r Asian - will might have a ceratin accent  

and so on.....

Yes fari, I do have a Yorkshire accent, for real! However, it is not too strong. It gets worse when I am speaking with those who have a Yorkshire accent.

bhaloo, there are soo many different accents here in England. The most commonly known one is the cockney accent, but only those from the south speak it (esp London).

There is a VAST difference in the accents from North and South. The north of England has more farmland than the south and so the accent in the north derives from farmers.

If you could hear some of the accents! People from newcastle have a Geordie accent, which I cannot immitate at all. The accents most Britts make fun of is the Brummy accent (those from Birmingham). They lengthen some of the words, and can sound quite thick (but they are not, so please do not take offence anyone from Birmingham).

My preference is the cockney accent.

My favourite accent in the world is the Irish accent. It is so soothing.

ICQ, began as a 3 person company based in Israel.

The company's name was Mirabilis and their
product was an instant messaging program,
called ICQ (I Seek You).

At one point, ICQ had MORE registered ACTIVE
users than AOL(!). AOL then Paid something
More than $200,000,000 to buy ICQ.

ICQ's software, Servers, Hard Drives, etc etc
are all BASED IN ISRAEL.

So, Whenever you're filling out your private
info on ICQ...just remember who's database
you're helping to build.

I hate when that happens to me!  Especially when something is modified which was posted like 3 months ago and so you have no idea what the original post said.

I've seen in other boards that whenever a post is modified, it automatically puts in another line at the end of the message saying "This post was edited by so-and-so on 01/01/01 at 00:59:59" or something.

But that still wouldn't tell you *what* was changed!
