^^ Well it is. Somaliland is a peaceful place where people have the time to erect monuments and frequent facebook. War even Buuhodle is safe. A skirmish is not a war. Wax fahan.

^^ You don't need a tol when I'm here, Malika. Why else do you think I attracted your attention to that little comment of yours. I vouch for Maliaka. Her skin is as smooth as a baby's bottom.

Wars are constant reality in the most prized areas such as Buuhoodle, and Laascanood . The bullets are indeed real. In Somaliland, the wounds of war are quite raw... Anna waxaan is lahaa, odaygo wuxu la maqnaaday xishood buu ahaa, ileen wa isla halki uun. As limited as ever. Were there no monuments in Xamar? Were they ones about education or is it stone throwers, heroic ladies and mad mullahs? Why did you not forgive and forget? Maybe all those should be blown up today or else they might hurt the feelings of the new British safeer! p.s. the Buuhoodle events were simple skirmishes. I'd expect someone used to war (Kismaayo was it?) would know the difference.

She thinks One dollar is too little when the London people were happy to do it for £20 pounds.

^^ Never. Even though A&T saaxiib ma leh (as I keep on insisting), I'm forcing my friendship on him anyway. Nothing is being abandoned. But young Somalina has her own mind and I can't force her to forgive him dee. Plus, yarto waa qac, if she gets upset she'll throw the baby (me) with the bathwater (him).

If it was a war heroes monument I would understand but tanks and planes are just silly. The monument is on a roundabout. Why not build something cultural? Something that gives identiy? Remember the Quran roundabout in Sharjah? The clock tower in Dubai? The arab tea pot in Abu Dhabi? We need to move on. Dubai & Abu Dhabi do not have a history of war. Somaliland does. Would you move Nelson's Column or the dozens of monuments scattered around London celebrating/comomorating the war? p.s. The plane does not work and the tank is only a sculpture, saaxib. They're a sign of progress and show that in SL, the only reminders/signs of war are now simple monuments and sculptures. Wax fahan.

Heh@Norf..Bashir Goth blames Islam for a TV advert about Diana. I wonder if he saw the advert for Dice underwear. The tag line says "Dice, for all positions".

^^ I grew to like Carafaat and would not want to see him come to harm. Khasab na hadii ay ku noqoto in oo qof jeclaado, dee tan shaarobaha leh moo daba gaalo. Ugu yaraan waa gabadh.

^^ He's losing his touch these days and his maslaxaad is not coming off like it used to. War help your friend, aniga I can't do anything for him in this instance.

Val, historically, June is usually a rainy month. But July, August & September are always sunny. As for Malika and her next week comment. April showers nooh! (Salaam to you both).

But when it comes to jailing someone without proper charge or procedures, you need to turn your attention towards Siilaanyo and his government, saaxib. This is not for the Boqor himself but for YOU. What if you do something that Siilaanyo's government does not like tomorrow? Would you want to be treated the same way? Support the Boqor, Xaaji. It's for your own good, saaxib.

Carafaat, kii waakan ku diiday. Isdil waryaa!

^^ Good stuff. Maaddeey, magacaan ka arkay waxan aad cuntay inaanay cunto Somali aheen, saaxib. Marka maxaan kaa waydiiyaa? I only ask about Somali words nooh. p.s. Norf speaks worse Somali than me these days. p.p.s Hahaha@Juxa not knowing.. I love it when the experts trip.

^^ What's his crime and did he have any representation in that court? Nacala Siilaanyo iyo waxa la shaqeeyaa...

Yes. Yes. Yes.

War why did you start your leave now? Xaasid waaxid!

This is getting silly. I can't keep coming in first every day and switching on the lights. Where art for thou slackers?

What's the exact argument here? I'm as lost as an atheist in a masaajid!

Sounds like there is money to be had from these NGOs. Is it worth me quitting my job and going to SL full time to churn out these half cooked idea to the NGOs?

The man has no class. He should have let it be, it's only an airport after all.

Heh@Qandalawi. Bob & Val, dee I'm not going to give them an exact dollar. I'll give them the equivalant in SL money. Baaldi buuxa. Which language? Somali, Arabic or English, I can give you a somali one, very interesting, You can make it a short film if you need Do you want a dollar too? Xaasid!
