^^ Arsenal beating Barca will be like Bayern beating United. Possible but still a shock. I am going with Barca teaching the young gunners a lesson. Tuujiye, even with Bayern winning I still say United got the easy part of the draw, saaxib. Hada ma been ban isu sheegayna dee? Bayern wa qashin, saaxib.

Stuff and nonsense. Ya Um Zamzam wa ya Maaddeey, ida jaa'akom fasiq bi naba'in horta ma maqasheen?

^^ I do have a backyard and it is a reasonable size but such an animal needs to be indoors, saaxib. The London rain (and foxes) will kill it. Anyway, I want an animal that does not require too much work. My son already got his own pet, Simon the rock.

^^ Looks cute but will make lots of mess (if it's not a toy that is).

A falcon will be great but xaggan dhiga dee?

^^ The pet is for me mostly. I used to talk to my cat when I had it and I miss the exchanges we had. Kids and wife are not the same kind of audience, they talk back.

^^ I can't say it about City. According to Tuujiye, they already have the best defender in the world.

^^ We rate players and teams on their performances in entire seasons and not just one game, saaxib. Form is temporary and all that.

BOB, Arsenal need a Lucas. If you had him from the start of the season I dare say you would have had the league wrapped up by now. You would also beat Barca with him in your team (and lose now that you don't have him). Real talk (as the kids would say), saaxib.

^^ It was time he had a bit of a rest. He's been carrying that team on his broad shoulders all season warya.

I've been looking at pets to buy and have decided to choose something from this list (with the cost). 100 Ants £25 Giant African Snails £2 to £10 Giant millipede £10 to £30 Imperial sorpion £5 to £25 Mantis £2 to £15 Stick Insect £ 1 to £4 Trantula £10 to £100 Chinchilla £40 to £60 Chipmunk £20 to £30 Degu £15 Ferret £10 to £30 Gerbil £5 to £20 Guinea pig £5 to £20 Hamster £5 to £10 Mice & Rats £2 to £25 Bengalese finch £7 to £10 (a pair) Budgerigar £10 to £20 Canary £25 Chicken £2 Lovebirds £40 (a pair) Fire-bellied newt £5 to £10 Fire Salamander £20 to £150 Bearded dragon £30 to £600 (I want this guy) Day Gecko £45 to £75 Leopard Gecko £35 to £1,500 The family want me to get these (think they're trying to tell me something?): Corn Snakes from £30 upwards Garter Snakes £15 to £20 Royal Python £50 to £1500 What would you choose?

^^ Arsenal are as direct as your hair, saaxib. They always get to the 18 yard box and then have no idea what to do. THEY WILL LOSE.

^^ Juxa don't be a hater dee. I know if I got on that show I'll get double the calls. But most will be insults. I also know that A&T does not miss a single night. I was actually tempted to phone and say hello to him. I might do it one of those days.

^^ I was watching the salaamaha program on Universal the other day. People phoned them from all over Europe and the UK. But then, this guy with a squeaky voice and very bad connection phoned to say hello to his friends and cousins (as usual) and said that he is phoning from "Gobol mamoleedka PL, MAGAALADA Qardho".

^^ War waa April Fool dee. Juxa, it paid off as in..you won? Mabrook.

^^ April fool come early, saaxib. Glad to hear it, Lily. Hi Juxa.

Lily is a sijui?

Originally posted by Shihaabuddin: Ngonge maybe we disagree on internal Puntland issues and affairs but we have common outlook and census regarding the common defence of the State and how we should engage with outsiders, so a friendly message of urgency from our side plan for the delaying actions so that the troops and heavy military equipment can head orderly and safely back home. P.S. This is good advice you might need this weaponry to protect your sub-clans interest as Rayaale is against any sort of unseating by your local clanlord Siilaanyo and if Siilaanyo provokes an attack you will not have any weaponry to protect the kids and mothers of your clan, so don't lose your heavy equipment to us as it might be needed in the coming month. Riyaale is a politician, adeer. He got my adeero (and Faysal) wrapped around his little finger and, for that, I salute him. He will also get the "SSC" people back into the fold without a need for an army iyo waxan aad ka hadlayso. Politics, adeer, politics. Faroole (whom I thought was a wily siyaasi at the start) is letting PL down. War ninka iska qabta.

Originally posted by Shihaabuddin: Ngonge what is happening now in parts of SSC regions of Puntland State is what can be considered an early political vote campaign for the 2013 election. There is no doubt, that individuals and parties are placing themselves in the right positions in order to be in the pole position come the 2013 election. The goal is clear and both the Puntland government and the Isimada are in agreement on the agendas' so your best hope thus far is to sit idle and watch these internal disputes of high inner Puntland political power chess game and hope that there will be a plan for delaying actions so that the troops can withdraw safely across the real border, which is not a colonial marked one. Wasn't that exactly how we eventually got Laas Caanood? War Faroole iska qabta.

^^ Maradona carried entire teams on his own, saaxib. Messi, as great as he is, has always been just a bit part player in whatever great team he played for (and he didn't play for many). They are world apart.

^^ Dee hadaal buu yedhi, ma quboor buu qoday? Saca bi saca, saaxib. Al Shabab marmarka qarkood xamaasad ba la tagta oo wax an muhim aheen bay ku mushqoolan. Nasrato el deen mar walba dagaal ku ma imanayso. Bal maxa o diiday si aamusan in ay quboorta iska qodaan o meedhka meel kale ku aasan ka dibna isago wakhta ka wareegay ay dadka o sheegan waxan la sameeyay iyo sababta lo sameeyay? Waxanu wa bad timing wana caqli yaraan, saaxib. Afarta xiyraan ay doonayeen in ay ka joojiyeen cibaadat al quboor hada waxay noqdeen MILLION xiyraan o ku leh cinaad iyo madax adeeg ban hada siyaara ku taga doona qabri walba oo naloo sheego.

^^ You should have stopped at Xavi vs Fab, saaxib. Xavi is a million times the player, Fab is. Anyway, when Arsenal at their best (with Henry at the helm) couldn't beat Barca, why in the world do you believe this new team would? P.S. Ibra is a great striker.

^^ We, Europeans, always consider Canada American.

^^ Wax walba wakhti ayuu leeyahay, saaxib. Qubuurtan la caabudayo shalayto may billabin, waligeed way iska jirtay. Wana loo so noqon kara. Marka Al Shabab (sida ay iyaago na yidhaahdeen) jihaad bay ku jireen oo arimo ka weyn afar jaahil qabri ag ducaystay baa haysta. Amoorto wa in ay kala horiyaan. Adigu dagaal ku jira, dadka lagogo diray, adoonko o dhan ka hor jida, hadi aad is tidhaahdid xabaal qodo, waxa lagoo qaatay adoo taada iska qoda.

^^ Just following events, adeer. Anyway, Faroole! Do you think he's losing the plot (nad support as a result)?
