^^ What I don't understand is how after all this time of scoffing Faheema's cakes you didn't think of ditching the middle man (or woman in this case) and learn to make your own cake! Is Faheema that much of a xaasid? Can't she just teach you?

I don't like biscuits. Actually, I don't mind biscuits but I never go out of my way to buy biscuits. Last year, someone at work bought me a jar of biscuits and filled it with all sorts of the stuff (as a thank you for something or other). Ever since, the damn thing stayed on my desk and every time I offer someone a biscuit (as you do) they come back the next day with a full packet to thank me for the ONE biscuit I offered them the day before. How am I supposed to lose weight if everyone is conspiring against me in such a way? Hello Malika. Biscuit?

Naden, Surely, more creatures will benefit from your remains if you were buried (warms, plants, insects, etc). I bet none of them mind the smell either. Besides, if you were cremated, exploded, eaten by ravens (Zoroastrianism, Cara) that will be it for you! Now if you were buried, your memory could (arguably) live forever. There is a park in Liverpool (not a big or famous park) where I once saw a grave of a donkey that was buried there in 1790. Now I am sure you are better than a donkey. All this reminds me of Spike Milligan and his insistence that his grave carry the epitaph: I told you I was ill.

^^ Showing SL in a positive light is good. Showing up others is not. Don't spoil it by having a go at others, saaxib. Bask in the glory.

Since that's the flavour of the year, we might as well take advantage and try to commission a Muslim reality TV show that follows Muslim heroes. I could already picture Mo Farah talking about his sport and forcing an Islamic angle into what he does. “When I was a child, I used to run fifty miles to my local madrasa”. “I wear those long socks because it is an Islamic requirement to cover up my legs”. “At the start of the race, as a Muslim, I always say Bismiallah”. “I win silver medals on purpose. Gold is haram for men”. Raage Omar “I once prayed with Ahmdinejad”. “As a Muslim, I refused to become one of those embedded reporters during the Iraq war”. “I am an understanding Muslim and do lots of shows about other faiths”. “Did you see when I went to the Wailing Wall?” Even Ayaan Hirsi can get in on the act and say “I come from a Muslim family and have worked very hard to get to where I am today. This proves, if anything, that someone from a Muslim background can get far in Western life”. By the way, the BBC's Head Of Religion is a Muslim man.

The strange thing is that he thinks he's on a diet.

I told you she was centre right.

^^ It wasn't offensive, was it? Ibti, I didn't even notice your absence.

I watched it. I prefer Muslim Driving School if I'm honest.

You're too late. We've done this discussion in the only place that deserves it. The troll section.

^^ Cech is a good keeper, saaxib. I just think he's not as good as he used to be. And anyway, you can't really judge him on that game alone. Silly Arsenal were making crosses into the box for Arshavin! ARSHAVIN! Zu is talking nonsense. Chelsea scored their two goals and did not need to attack you. They allowed you to have the ball and have a go at them. You, as ever, failed. If Wenger is any good he would sell Fabregas next season and change the way his team plays.

^^ Wale ana is dhakray (in more ways than one).

^^ Ma Qaloocan bu wax ka sheegay kara dee? Rijaalo al moot ba o so bixi doona hado hadlo. Where is Che?

^^ No need to explain what shiish means. Hora la i dhakray, eedo.

Gheelle, baryahan dadko way waasheen oo wax walbay is ag bar bar dhigan lakin burco iyo qardho can not be put in the same sentence, saaxib. The words you were looking for was Qaloocan iyo Qardho. Tooloyinka la is ag bar bar dhiga, saaxib.

^^ Dee wa iska bisadahaan sheegayay.

^^ Wixi qaxa ka horeeyay ma ada xasuusan kara? You're about twenty five or something.

^^ A typing error. What's xawaaley, dear sodoh.

Xawaaley is cats? Bisad iyo mukulaal ban maqli jiray lakin xawaaley is new to me. Ma af xabashi ba?

^^ What is a 'xaawaley'? Some kind of animal?

Judging by that question alone, I have a feeling you are not in posession of that bag anymore.

These girls are like street cats. Once one of them finds a full wheelie bin she calls the others. 'miyaaaow..I found cake'.. 'miyaaaow..digsi bariis ka buuxan ba halkan yaala'.. 'miyaaaow..who wants xalow?'.

Juxa, I actually had one. I put goat fur all over it and installed a bell that made all sorts of sounds. Edit: Like that but on a push bike.

Originally posted by *Faheema: Horta what is it with ciyaal xamar? you don't see ciyaal hargeisa iyo burco or even the new Qardo crew creating nostalgic threads Nostalgic alone would be ok. It's worse when they come up with fantastical stories about that place and time. The stories start normally (like the guy above talking about his homeboys) then suddenly takes a turn for the worse. Something like: We used to play football everyday in xamar cade. One day, Siyad Barre was walking past. He came alone and asked to play. We made him keeper. I scored three goals against him. Madax bu aha (or a word that rhymes with madax).

People who send other people PMs should at least make sure their in box is empty.
