Heh. The "wheels" came off decades ago.

Originally posted by Xaji_Xunjuf: It was two weeks ago when Somaliland’s Foreign Minister, Dr. Mohamed Abdillahi Omar visited Djibouti where he held a meeting with President Ismail Omar Guelleh. Many of the neighboring countries were competing to play host to President Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo’s first foreign trip ever since he became the head of state. This trip is seen as a sign of importance and the historical fraternal ties that bind the two neighboring nations. The visit of the foreign minister was to pave the way for the president's visit? If the guru was here he will explain to us the way diplomacy works and how Dr. Mohamed Abdillahi Omar only went first to clear the way and explain to them what topics the president will or will not talk about (which saves both sides the trouble of having any misunderstandings I suppose). But was that all? I suspect there is more to it than that. He probably gave them a list of what food the president likes, how he can not eat any red meat and the type of bed he should be sleeping on. Still, he did well by staying away this long.

Had to go to a whole new continent just so you can log into SOL? Good stuff. As for working in the Horn, I shall not do it unless I am made a wasiir without portfolio (somebody has to chair all those committees).

^^ It was Bale again (and Lennon). Rafa's team looked tired, Spurs were really up for it and played some wonderful football. War even Gallas looked good. It was a good game and the Spurs fans sang their hearts out.

^^ He's a holding midfielder (context ya badow context). The evidence shows that he makes plenty forward passes. What games did you check by the way? This gives you his games from this season and all the ones before it. Stop being stubborn.

^^ War islaanta daa, ceeb caleek. As for the topic, one has to admire the effort and dedication of those writing all this nonsense.

^^ Didn't expect either of you to admit it even when given evidence. War bahasha barta.

^^ Let him be. He's like a goldfish in a bowl, keeps going over the same ground over and over. The beauty of it, of course, is that you can take pot shots at him any time you like.

^^ Dee mu o tago with a couple of Indians from Dubai. I reckon they'll have that bridge up in no time. And then someone can be the first to jump.

Horta is the Hargeisa bridge done yet?

Rafael Benítez has launched a withering attack on Roy Hodgson, telling him to stop complaining about what he inherited from him at Liverpool and suggesting Hodgson does not fully understand the intricacies of life at Anfield. Hodgson, who has suffered a difficult start to his tenure and the job of succeeding the popular Benítez, has aimed a series of recent barbs in the Spaniard's direction bemoaning the size of the rebuilding job that faced him, claiming the squad lacks quality in depth and features other "people's left-overs". He also tried to claim that he has got Kenny Dalglish truly back on board at the club, whereas the legendary former player and manager was marginalised under Benítez. This last claim has particularly irked his predecessor. Benítez, whose Internazionale side face Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow night, hit back that some men, in other words Hodgson, "cannot see a priest on a mountain of sugar", whereas most people could see the black-clad figure against the white backdrop. "I feel that Mr Hodgson, he doesn't understand," Benítez said. "Every single press conference is worse than the last one. He's talking about things he doesn't know. He doesn't understand, maybe he has been in the job for not so long. "Instead of talking about the flips and the flops, he has to concentrate on his players and do his best. He has a good [big] job to do. He signed nine players [in the summer]. I left that squad and with £10m net spending, I left that squad with £300m value. Thirteen internationals. "So instead of talking about flips and flops, he has to concentrate on the job, try to do his best and not talk about the level of his players. Let the new players come in and concentrate, try to do their best, because it will be the best for the club and the best for the fans. "We gave the fans the pride. Again. We fight for the fans, we fight for the club and we fight for our players. Maybe he cannot understand this." It was Benítez who brought back Dalglish to Liverpool, in a role that incorporated ambassadorial duties and youth academy work. "I brought back Kenny Dalglish to do a role in the club," Benítez said. "Christian Purslow [then] gave to him another role. So he [Hodgson] doesn't know but I will explain to him." http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/nov/01/rafael-benitez-roy-hodgson-liverpool/print

^^ Our president does not prance. He has agents that do that for him. Wax fahan.

Does that mean we now control two thirds of Somalia?

^^ This one is an an amatuer, saaxib. The semi-professionals (of which I've seen one or two) at least volunteer information about themselves before being asked. For example, say A&T wanted to create a script of his own. He will not make up a name and come here refusing to answer questions. No, I trust A&T is clever enough to create an entire personality for himself before setting foot in this place. He may pretend to be a young man, still at Uni and always complaining about the projects or essays he has to finish (whilst of course giving his opinions on the various topics we have here). Or (though I admit it's a bit of a stretch) he may pretend to be a girl from America or Canada who loves Somalia so much and never wants to sully her keyboard with sidetaking. Of course, I am not saying A&T would do any of this. He knows and I know that his unique writing can be spotted from a mile away. But I'm just saying, for example, for example. Now all these new user names have to make it interesting by creating a personality for themselves and not do what Duke is doing.

Blackpool v West Brom! Sounds like a dull fixture, right? WRONG. Best game of the week so far. West Brom went down to ten men in the eleventh minute and conceded a spot kick. Five minutes later (and with a goal down already) another of their players gets sent off. Their clever manager made a couple of subs (taking both of his strikers out and putting on midfielders). Suddenly the nine men were keeping the ball better and passing it around. They had a few good chances. Then Blackpool scored. Gave over, right? WRONG! In the 84th minute, West Brom scored and spent the next ten minutes missing chance after chance (with Blackpool missing a similar number of chances). Game finished 2-1 but it could have easily been 2-2. Great old style, rain filled and slippery ENGLISH game.

Originally posted by Thankful: quote: Originally posted by NGONGE: Talking from both sides of your mouth again, Thankful? I thought you believed that Nassir was an Atam supporter and now the PL crew here (with you in tow I suppose) are claiming that Atam is an SL agent yet Nassir could never become an SL fan? Have you been taking lessons in logic from Farole, saaxib? Come on now Ngonge, 1st I never claimed that Atam was an NW Somalia agent, I stayed away from that topic. Second I do think that he may have fled in that direction. But I am not sure your enclave is that sophisticated to carry that out. Now what you are saying is that Nassir might have your flag as his signature. That I am certain will never happen. Nassir and the others flip-flop between supporting Puntland and not supporting it, but they would rather claim their own enclave than join yours. Do you blame his community when your government doesn't represent it? I will say that if your government were to change it's policy and start allowing more representation + act like a real democracy that allows a wide range of opposition leaders from all over....then things may be different. Until then, it won't happen. That double talk of yours is becoming a habit, saaxib. But it IS a democracy. All those that observed the recent elections said so. The rules defining a democracy were all fulfilled. Everyone IS represented, even those that claim today they're not part of SL. What else do you exactly want? Here, let me have a bet with you. Your cousin Nassir (and I admit how cheeky I am for speaking in his name) will choose SL over PL every day of the week and thrice on Sunday. Qof maqaan kamaan hadlin hada. Waa Nassir, wakaa waydii. I still have hope for you Thankful, step away and have a better look at the picture before you, saaxib. P.S. Duke, leave agent Che alone. We don't pay him much yet as Godane is taking up much of the budget lakin waanu u balan qaadnay.
