^^ Politics is politics, saaxib. It applies universally to all situations and the skill of the politician is measured exactly the same way on the local, national or international level. Once you put yourself in a position that allows the electorate to judge you, you must begin to deliver some of your promises (even if they were implied, as in the case of Siilaanyo and the people of Burco). I apply the same principle to your beloved Sharif and the wily Imam but, since it does not fit in with your own agenda, you dismiss it as..horta what was the expression you borrowed from Che again? Oh yes, born again secessionist. Going back to the topic at hand, of course, Siilaanyo will not be able to deliver the shiny palaces, dollar-infested rains or the 'well in every house' dreams of the Burco islaamo, but I expect him (if he's a politician worth his salt) to pull a rabbit out of the hat in this upcoming meeting to soothe the disappointed old ladies (the men give him more breathing space for some reason). In addtion, I only speak of the ones I know about here (the Burco crew) by the way. Someone else (say a rascal from Saaxil) may know of grumblings taking place in that part of the republic. The beauty of it all is that it is democracy in action. The people putting the president on the spot. p.s. Xaaji X miyuu ku ag fadheestay baryahan ninyaho? Waa kan khashaafkaaga la so yimid oo eedooyankiisa reer Burco afafkooda wax ka sheegay. Kalaaam faaariq!

^^ She is not an Arab speaker ban ku idhi. In fact YOU speak better arabic (and we all know how bad your Arabic is). Aniga iga maqal dee. Ask Johnny B to fish her out for you. p.s. She's been to London many times.

She is not an Arabic speaker. I know she is not and I also know that she is from Norway/Sweden iyo xagga (she told me herself years ago). p.s. Girls that go to "Arab" school with Indian teachers do not have such strong accents. Ask Serenity if you like.

Xaaji X, Clan is Everything warya. Siilaanyo spent ten years telling us to choose him as president (with all that "wa marka yaga" nonsense) and now he he did not do anything for the centre of the universe. Dee waa khalad (marka loo eego dhinaca qabyaalada) habraha na xaq bay ku leeyhiin. Yes. I think I'll be going on Saturday. Siilaanyo's nephews and cousins will make sure of that.

^^ You think Ibti & Val are the same ones that you used to know, badow yahay. Ibti has spent six months sniffing Somali air, her brain has turned into 'maraq' by now. As for Val..err..ich bin..een..af walba ku adkaaday.

^^ habarta afka buuraysa waa tuu markiisa hore lacagta kaampinka kaa shaxaadi jiray, saaxib. "Wan ku taageeray" ayaay tedhi, "lacag na waan kuugo shubay" ayaay ku dartay, "markaad madaxweyne noqotay na, waxba ii maad sameen" ayaay hadalkiida ku qafishay. Ma been bay sheegtay dee? So dadka o nafta o keenay barigo "mucaarid bila kursi" aha habrahan iyo caruurtooda may aheen? Dee maanta waa "pay back time". Siilaanyo na, waa kan is xaadiray (foolish move on his part). p.s. He is an ethnic Burcaawi warya. The old women are right in expecting him to do more there.

^^ You do realise that not many people understand what you're talking about here, don't you dear? p.s. To be fair to Xaaji Norf, he sent the text message AFTER his xaj was over. p.p.s I just remembered that I did not actually reply! (it was late when I read it and I didn't want to wake him up). Heh.

Every time you think you got the latest all-singing-all-dancing-super-duper-know-it-all-lesson, a new one comes out to put you back in your place. Anyway, all this reminds me of my school days (you being English educated, will not understand of course). In my school days (and, probably those of you that lived in proper middle eastern or African cities) the school day began with this: Then the flag was raised. After that, a kid would take the mic and read some quran. Following that the "important life lessons" began. In short, it was school radio and different kids would take the mic and tell us "The saying of the day", "What life taught me", "Story with a moral", "Wise proverb" and "A lesson in a poem". By the age of TEN, I already knew all the life lessons that some of you on this thread are talking about. By the age of eleven, I lost the will to live. By the age of thirteen I started to realise that it's all talk. By the age of twenty-five, I was grateful for the schools for putting me through all this nonesense at such a young age. Now, I just scoff at all these pointless "life lessons". In a year's time, I may turn around and proclaim them as the best thing EVER!

Heh@Norf stopped trolling. Fat chance, Ibti. The man was sending tex messages to ask about the liverpool results whilst he was on top of carafa!

^^ He's not going to meet with as many happy faces this time round. The old women of Burco are really not happy that he has not done anything to improve the city and surrounding areas since he became president.

Cunsuri Arabta kuso kortey- u can find her sitting in her bed room in UAE, KSA or the likes talking to a webcam. Iiish Your Sat Nav is faulty, dear. Try a bedroom in Europe (a spliff throw away from Johnny B's summer residance). Pretty as a peacock and just as loud.

The guy that types these press releases for the PL government is (in my opinion) the hardest worker in the whole of the horn of africa. The only one that comes even close to challanging him is the guy that writes all those press releases for the SSC/NSUM. But that guy is in Europe somewhere and types it all in his bedroom. The PL guy is in the PL presidancy and is getting paid for his hard work. Hail all hardworkers. Hip hip...

Aaah, life lessons! Cute.

^^ Tooth picks nooh.

War get on with it dee.

^^ It's an update. Now reciprocate.

Warya Alpha, I quit smoking again. I now chew to compensate.

^^ How about washing your hands after going to the toilet? Demonstrate or explicate?

Carabtu waxay ku maahmaahda: Man xafara xufratan la akheehi, waqac feeha (he who digs a hole for his brother, falls in it). I now see that A&T was trying to use me as a rocket against General Duke. Hadaba ha kaa saarto warya!

^^ Can't be as vulgar as Duke and put it all outthere, saaxib. "I did it my way" is a subtle enough way of saying the same thing.

^^ Nope I did not watch it and my clanmen bragging makes no difference to the point (Knight Of Wisdom claims to be your clansmen and I'm not lumping you with him warya). If you want a tit-for-tat dee horaan kuu sheegay, kuwaa faanaya orodo la muran saaxib. Anigu hadal cad baan kaa doonaya. Did the SL army randomly pick on innocents and kill them? If so, I hereby fully condemn such a cowardly action. Just prove it to me, saaxib. I'm not asking for much.

The names of these leaders need looking at too. There used to be a time when Somali names used to state the obvious; a disabled man would be called curyaan. A one eyed man, cawar. A blind one, indhoole. Now, the theif is called Sharif. The murderer xasan dhaahir and the one that invites war to his land, Ghandi!

Juje did that once and he never came back. Hope the salary is good warya.

^^ War forget Newcastle. You know and I know that they will not last the pace. How about us playing you twice in two weeks, eh? Which of the two games do you feel confident about? The Carling Cup one or the league?
