^^ I'm done watching speculative clips, saaxib. I watched the one Norf talked about (all dull 46 minutes of it) and the one irate Jibreel posted above. Neither of the two prove anything about a real, factual, sustained agenda on the part of Hollywood to normalise Muslim deaths. Oliver Stone and the other two guys talk about America's view of itself and the world and how nationalists (the world over) demonise 'the other'. I did not need to watch such rubbish, it's simple logic. Jibreel, If I said you are a liar I would need to provide proof that you are a liar, saaxib. All YOU will have to do in turn is to feel insulted by my claim or simply ignore it. If, however, you choose to provide proof that you are NOT a liar it will only make me wonder about your truthfulness. The case here is the same, saaxib. You, Norf and others talk about this dark idea of Hollywood normalising Muslim deaths (and meaning it, or else it won't be an agenda of course). I am asking you to PROVE it. Now, before going on about our ignorance, switch a light on and show us, saaxib. Or else stop talking, yours is nothing but an old wives' tale.

It won't be easy, Bob. City will try to stifle you and catch your creaky defence on the counter attack. Arsenal are also playing at home and the library crowd will start to twitch at the first sign of danger. Still hope Arsenal win it. For if city win the league they'll become another Chelsea.

Sometimes, I find myself sitting and thinking about nothing in particular. It is usually the time when my mood switches and I begin to feel depressed. It is all the junk that fills one’s brain that really gets me in such a mood. For example, on the train this morning, someone was listening to some music on their IPod (as most people do). I could not hear the actual song they were listening to but the noise (one you will recognise if you ever stood next to someone listening to their iPod on a train) was extremely irritating. I tried to guess the song but my train of thought was heading in an entirely different direction. I began thinking about music and the last time I listened to any. I then remembered mentioning to the wife that I am thinking of getting a new iPod (I lost my last one in 2008). “Maybe you should listen to some Quran” said she. “On the train?” I incredulously asked. “Yes. Why not? Lots of people listen to it on the train” she replied. “But it is not the best environment for listening and hearing” said I. She didn’t get my point and said “well, just put the sound up”. “You don’t understand. How can I pay attention to what I’m listening to when, more often than not, I have a huge woman, or man, rubbing their crotch against my left thigh?”! She didn’t understand again and said “Forget reading it, you really need someone to read it on you”. But that was not the only destination that my train of thought took me to. It also took me on a tour of popular music. That is when I started to think of young Justin Bieber and the strange reason that I (old grey haired me) knew that he only dated one blonde and two brunettes in his life! Thinking of the dating habits of celebrities took me (fleetingly) past Zsa Zsa Gabor who got married nine times and is in hospital having one of her legs amputated. These are facts I knew by heart and did not have to google for the purposes of this narrative. However, I did have to google the name of the Swaziland Justice Minister who was caught in bed with the wife of that country’s king (his name is Ndumiso Mamba). It was while standing there in that crowded carriage and wondering why I even remembered the story of this affair or that the king had sixteen wives that I began to think of Coptic churches in Egypt and the recent troubles in that country. That’s when I started to blame Hosni Mubarak for all the problems there and for ordering his soldiers to shoot all the poor Africans that try to cross into Israel. They call him the laughing cow in Egypt you know. It’s a type of cheese (La vache qui rit). I am not sure if it were the music from the person standing next to me or the French name of that cheese that made me think of Edith Piaf (her mother was half Algerian you know). From there, it was inevitable that I would start humming the “Alouette” song to myself. It was not sung by Edith by the way, it is actually a children’s song. I heard it in a cartoon when I was a child and always sang it to myself at times of great stress. This is why I now began to think of cartoons and the great Pepe Le Pew, but he was not really French, he was an American actor. Karachi or the controversy about Shoaib Malik’s marriage to Sania Mirza? The blonde woman on the right had the same haircut as Hillary Clinton after her daughter’s wedding. Was she thinking about the increase in the VAT rate? She looked at me and I realized how rude I was being so I lowered my gaze. That is when I remembered that in the year 2010 lowering my gaze has been very beneficial to me. I found twenty pounds on the floor of my local shop in June. I found five pounds on the floor of my One Pound Shop in August and last week, I found twenty pounds amongst the sweets in my local Turkish shop. Not to mention the iPhone that was left in the train by some Japanese tourists as I was getting on in September! I gave it all back of course (the money to the shopkeepers and the phone to its oblivious owner). When there was a pause in my train of thought, I thought some more. This time it was about the people I was gazing at and the unfairness of trying to put them in their respective stereotypical boxes. I then wondered if they too look at me in the same way. Do they see a Somali man lost in deep thought and wonder if I am thinking of the problems of the horn? Do they wonder if I am an Al Shabab supporter? Have they heard of Siilaanyo or Sheikh Sharif? Or do they just think of pirates? Bloody Imam Farole!

^^ It's not fair though. The man is fighting for a cause. You may not agree with it but you should at least respect it and try to find a way round our disagreement. To accuse him of being a member of Al Shaba is an unfair lie that an uncouth Farole could come up with, not a democratic and enlightened Slander.

Who said you can't? I just changed mine.

^^ It's over, saaxib. United are too far ahead of you and are not going to let go now. Plus, with Fergie's boys managing at least five teams in the PL, he (as always) is not going to lose against any of them whilst Chelsea might. I miss Rafa.

Everybody we don't like eventually gets linked to Al Shabab. Heh, bloody Somalis.

^^ Xiin, waxbaad fahmi jirtay saaxib. Maxa kugo dhacay? You know and I know that the plane was nothing but a smoke screen. We both also know that the Shabab story from yesterday is also a smoke screen. If you pretend that you don't, then I must have been giving you more credit than you deserve.
