Forget his complaint, smell the stench.

^^ A song or a gabay is never cantarbaqash. To encapsulate the thoughts of millions in words and lyrics is the height of sophistication. But this thread is not about a song or a poem (as far as I can see). It's an interview with some old lady about her thoughts on Somalia. It reveals nothing new and does not deserve the pointless arguments people are having there. So, like I said....

Don't know much about him. I never listen to English speaking 'sheikhs'.

^^Adna you always make your political points at the wrong times. Idaa aan Sh. Sharif yara dicaayadiye.

^^ Listen to her music, ayeeyo. Don't take her opinions too seriously though. They're neither here nor there. As for her history, she is dealing with Somalis after all. A drunk would ignire hot debate in that society. Dee naga daa...it is still cantarbaqash.

The kid is at it again, I see. Who said Somalis don't know it? Speak for yourself, adeer. Waxa la yedhi Sh. Sharif has just cancelled all overseas engagements as a result of this sad and worrying news.

^^ Nope. Did not convince me. I still think it's stuff and nonsense.

^^ Impossible?

^^ Again, it's all about fixtures. I worry about Villa finishing fourth more than I do about the other two. Villa's fixtures: Everton (Home) Portsmouth (Away) Hull (Away) Birmingham (Home) City (Away) Blackburn (Home)

Invited is boring. Now taking part...

Yes, Juxa. It's cloudy out there and slightly cold. The sun keeps peering out every few minutes. Lakin adigu you're mistaking the lightbulb in your office for the sun.

I think Ayoub is under the impression the season is already over. I'm looking at the table kulaha. Fixtures, saaxib, fixtures. Do you believe City and Spurs have easy fixtures?

^^ A&T Villa and Spurs are both in the hunt for fourth, saaxib. You're right, City only need six points and there is every chance that they might get them. But I look at their fixtures and wonder how! (I said it's difficult warya).

The Real V Barca game was a bore. I have no idea what Bob was watching. It was a messy (not Messi) game. Two proper chances and two goals for Barca, the rest was just huffing and puffing that got nowhere.

Ahem. Let me give you the fixtures again: Liverpool's remaining games: West Ham Burnley Chelsea Hull Man City's remaining games: United Arsenal Villa Spurs West Ham Spurs' remaining games: Arsenal Chelsea United Bolton City Burnley --------- It's difficult but there is still hope. I hear no fat lady singing yet.

A singer gave an opinion on Somali affairs and you suddenly believe it's worth five pages of debate? Stuff and nonsense.

^^ What's the reason for the butterflies? It's cloudy out there. Morning all.

Buy land in Somalia and recoup your outlay within six months. NGONGE Lands Ltd, in cooperation with Xarakat Al Shabab Inc, TFG PLC & AMISOM International (NSTA) invites you to take advantage of this golden business opportunity in Somalia. After the success of our Somali Sand In A Jar project, in which we exported Somali sand (in a jar) to millions of homesick Somali Diaspora, we now have the pleasure of informing you of the commencement of our latest venture, profitable cemeteries. A recent UN report has shed light on the levels of death in Somalia. It revealed that, on average, at least eighty-five people meet their maker every single day in the Somali capital alone. The report also gave an estimate of four hundred daily deaths in greater Somalia. As a result NSTA has decided to grab as much lands in Somalia as possible and turn them into cemeteries. With the cost of land dirt cheap at the moment and the overheads for maintaining cemeteries being almost nonexistent, we estimate that a levy of £10 per burial will allow us to break even within six months. The rest will be pure profit. In addition, NSTA has struck a deal with our partners from Xarakat AL Shabab in which they agreed to only dig up graves in lands owned by NSTA and pay a discounted sum for every operation they conduct. They have also agreed to rebury any dug up scholars back into one of our many owned lands. However, with this being a fresh grave, they agreed to pay the full amount on reburials. Another deal was agreed with our partners from AMISOM & TFG that stipulates they will only start battles and skirmishes in areas where NSTA owns lands and ensure that they maximise the output in all their wars. NSTA is already in the process of negotiation with ONLF & Co to buy similar lands in their areas and kickstart a comparable project there. There are also plans to strike similar deals with emerging markets in both SL Ltd & PL Ltd. Here is what some of our investors said: “It’s a good idea that will help the Somali economy” Sh. S, Villa Somalia. “One must not ignore the health benefits of such an enterprise” Dr F, Garowe. “Somalia mayyt laga ma waayo” Engineer F, Hargeisa “Al mooto xaaq” Abu M, undisclosed location.

Can the admin please delete this thread. We're full.

"You see boss, it's like this. I found a bus pass, yeah, I picked it up to give in to the police later in the day. I was running late I jumped on the train. The inspectors caught me and I spent four hours explaining myself. I couldn't make it to work". "My rent boss. I couldn't pay it and that's why I couldn't make it to work. Actually, it was a council error. I paid it but they put it on the wrong account and now they are trying to evict me. I spent the day in the council offices". "It's my friends. Poof! They're gone, boss. I spent the day trying to put them back together and that's why I didn't make it to work". If only he'd say.. "There was this bridge boss...".

Only Juxa will help him and I'll blackmail her into pushing him under that bridge, saaxib.

C&H, Stay with me in a straight line now. This woman did not question, she wrote a poem that criticises and ridicules. Che says such decay is good, do you agree? The Catholic Church assumes that priests are infallible. You know and I know that Islam does not share that view, so lets not go down that line please. The point here is about mocking the scholars, even when they're wrong. Edit: Maddeey there is having a totally different argument with you. Don't confuse me with him please.

C&H, It's a gradual decay, dear. First it is ok to criticise scholars that are considered erroneous but soon it is ALL scholars. Because, frankly, what would stop everyone from criticising and rubbishing all the scholars? If people took or left the fatwas without commenting or getting tribal in their condemnations we really would not have that many problems and divisions. The point about Saudi women is that they regularly appear on TV and make their voices heard. Your words made it sound as if you think this was the first woman to appear on TV with such a poem (and this was merely a trivial show by the way).
