The Lover is ever drunk with love;
He is free, he is mad,
He dances with ecstasy and delight.
Caught by our own thoughts,
We worry about every little thing,
But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.

IM NOT A SNOB!!!!!!!!!!
Just because I went to a pretty good high school doesn't make me a snob!
Besides our school motto was something about being unselfish - and snobs are selfish.
Oh God I don't want to think about school assemblies ever again.
Actually I take it back - my friend olivia is on the O.C. sometimes and so that sorta makes her famous.
But other than that I dunno anybody I graduated with who was famous
Thank you and about time!
I like the fact that i can speak my mother tongue cuz it gives me the ability to communicate with my mum and other elders. I wish i knew urdu i think it is a lovely language but i aint too bothered since i can speak it ok-ish and i understand it fine.
i don't understand the brothers argument. Most of us here are bilingual, we went through the English education system without bilingual muslim teachers. We managed to learn English just fine, because we were plunged into the deep end. So most of us don't require bilingual teachers. And why do these bilingual teachers have to be muslim aswell? I mean these are secular schools we are on about right?
But if you mean adult learners then i agree they need bilingual teachers. Learning a language as an adult can be very hard as compared with learning it as a child. Even so many of these adult classes tend to force you to start speaking English right from the first lesson. It may appear harsh but it's proved to be one of the best methods around.
Preserving your own mother tongue is your own duty and your parents duty not the Brit education systems'. You're making out like schools have failed you because future generations will have poor command of their mother tongue? Surely that's not the schools' responsiblity???
I can understand why secular schools offer French more over than say Urdu or Bengali. They are thinking career wise in the bigger scale of things which one will be more useful to you. They aren't concerned about maintaining your native cultural identity, or helping you further Islamic studies. So don't be surprised if secondary schools don't readily offer Arabic, Urdu, Punjabi, etc they're not needed as far as these institutions are concerned.
If a child truly wishes to persue say Arabic or Urdu and their secondary school does not offer it some schools allow you to travel over to another secondary school to take the subject and pay for travel expenses. The same is offered in A-levels, i did this free taxi to the next school
If you don't want your child doing that then there's always weekend or evening classes problem solved.
LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!!
If you agree with her then it's a tie and we don't get our apology.
Hayder i'm disappointed

That doesn't make me snobby!
It's just High School for petes sake!
[size=7]*Note: Pete (my seahorse) is dead for anyone that cares, as of several weeks ago - a very sad and trying time.[/size]
Not only George Bush, but also his dad.
...look let's not get into history lessons - the important thing here is that going to a pretty good High School doesn't make a person snobby.
I'm sure people who have gone to your High School's or whatever the British equivalent is have become important later in life
one went on tp play for England rugby team, thats about it :roll:
but thuis guy i knw from college who lives near is an actor...if that counts
but the frickkin president and his old man!!!

Good one, Dave.
Not only the president and his old man, but also JFK!
It's all just probability and chance - it's a good boarding school in NE, and they are from NE ergo it makes sense one might see them in the same school - especially with family traditions and everything.
It's just as likely they could have gone to Exeter.
Just because they went there doesn't mean that people who go to school there are snobby! Lincoln grew up in a log cabin but that didn't make pioneers snobby.
OKAY LOOK,
So a president or two went to school at Andover (are you looking this up or something?) - [i]I[/i] didn't go to school with them - that's all ancient history, there are plenty of really good high schools that Presidents have gone to. It's not like some sort of Presidential training ground.
AND IT DOESN'T MAKE ME A SNOB!!!
Hayder even said one of his classmates went on to play pro crickett!
Now THATS a snobby sport.
It's like croquet
bush, bush senior......ronal readgan....abaraham lincoln...elvis presley?
any more famous presidents!

Elvis Lincoln and Ronald Reagan didn't go there!
It's just a handful of famous people that went there it's no biggie
And how much does the average "common man" pro Rugby player make?
no idea
but rugby is a game for 'the lads'
no cojones, dont bother playin

Always thought it was sort of a stupid pointless game - running around tackling each other for no reason.
Football is everything rugby is except with strategy.
Bill Belichick is a genius.
:shock:
r u kidding?

Pete got ick, which I didn't think Seahorses could get and so I didn't really do anything about it... so basically it's all my fault.
You'd be surprised how accustomed I have gotten to the hum of his tank and his unbreaking gaze.
My girlfriend gave me her goldfish to keep my company for a while [size=7](out of sympathy (dave = pathetic))[/size] however goldfish are uncommonly boring and now i'm terrified i'll kill it.
...and seeing as she will want her goldfish back it's a top priority to keep it alive.
