^^ You and Ayoub must be secret members of Al Shabab. Warya, xabaal qudista ha la joojiyo.

^^ I got a taste for it. Even more so when I started this competition amongst the women. They are all playing it cool and pretending that they make the cake for "fun's sake" but I know what's what. (I bet your cake is never as good).

^^ Doubt it. It's all about cuts and how to hide them away behind some 'noble' cause.

^^ Yes you have. Plus you can read all the lovley messages people leave for you. Just click on "Settings" at the top of the page.

The whole thing is going to crash and burn in no time at all and without the involvemnet (or otherwise) of Muslims or other "cultures". Such policies of one-size-fits-all often do.

Meera laddoooooooooooo.............

^^ Is this your first or second one as a..err..caged woman?

^^ Mancini is Italian, saaxib. Nine out of ten Italian managers play his way. Arsenal did well and surprised everyone by beating Wolves, AT HOME! We were unlucky but a draw was a fair result. Chelsea tonight, Spurs tomorrow, Arsenal the day after and chanel Five on Thursday. A whole week of football to look forward to. Come on!!!!!!!

There has not been any discussion of cake on this thread for ages. Might as well be the one that does it. Someone brought cake to the office the other week (can't remember what they were celebrating). Anyway, as we all stood there eating it and having pointless chitchats, I asked if anyone knows how to make cake. The women (for it had to be them) all started boasting about their cake making abilities. I (brilliantly, might I add) played the role of the dumb man asking "innocent" questions and managed to extract promises from all five of them that they will each make and bring cake to the office for me to see how good they are. So far, I had lemon cake, orange cake, carrot cake, banana and chocolate. I am now eating a ginger cake.

Heh@Bob and his superfluous questions!

^^ Che & the tailors are talking about clothes, adeer. I reckon that discussion is more up your street. This is too much for you.

And of course opportunists and turncoats abound. "Every man", as Thomas Moore said, "has his price". Opportunists, history teaches us, are always transactional and never transformational. The question isn't whether some opportunist politician can shift the opinion of SSC on secession. He can't. The question is whether it is at all possible for Somaliland to persuade other tribes that secession is a boon and not a bane. Tribal jingoism won't do. Epic narratives about the revolt against sinister D-Block oppressors holds no currency with this group. How do you convince them to join you? You have to use economic incentives and socio-geographic proximity to woo them. I have grave doubts that even such efforts will be sufficient. What then? Militarism will create more tribal vendettas and grievances. If SSC merely wants to remain a self-autonmous region in Somalia, their goal is, given the status quo, less romantic and airy than secession. If NG were a betting man, I'd advise him to put his money on SSC refusing to secede, regardless of the overtures of Somaliland. But then again, public persuasions are unpredictable things. And that is the point I have been making all along. Surely, by now the question should never have an "if" in it. SSC are akin to a chef who organised a dinner party, invited the guests, bought the ingredients and even provided the entertainment but still has no idea what the main course shall be. They got the Garads on board, they put together a little army and they even got Saado to gee up the troops but it is not clear what the real goal is! One minute they are part of PL, the next they are telling the Imam to stay out of their business. Now they claim that all they want is Somali unity & the TFG. But how could they have that when they are sandwiched between two entities that are not (as of last month) for the TFG? As for the wager, there are people who still believe that there is a chance for SL to return to the fold and keep on insisting that it is still part of Somalia. Yet SL never showed any signs of wavering. So how is that different to the SSC who seem (regardless of what anyone says) to be on some sort of a crossroads and only need to be nudged one way or another? Still, I do appreciate the improbability of them happily joining SL at this point in time.

There were reports the other day that the Libyan leader had said he will joing the protests becauese he is one of the people.

Eh, and it ain't like the world is awash of Arabs living under a system of governance that takes individual human rights into it's heart, is it !?. Pay attention now. THAT is the whole point of these protests.
