You sure you read it? And what about us? It’s wrong to portray the Turks as competitors. They are friends who did what we should have done. It’s therefore good to catch up with them and participate in this benefaction. After all, we spearheaded the concept, “The Hajj…and the sale of beads.” p.s. The author has been championing the Turks for years. In addition, he's a Saudi liberal that supports anything which moves people away from the crazy types of "salafi" Islam.

^^ It's an article written by a journalist not the Saudi government, you silly oaf. Did you read it? What did you think?

^^ Badow! Salaam Faheema & Sayid.

If you ever happen to have child born prematurely, please do make sure you caress their head when they're in the incubator. It makes a lot difference in their survival. Just passing it on. You could have written the above in a much better way or else it's all stuff and nonsense really.

^^ Err, don't speak to soon saaxib. Chelsea didn't do themselves any favours either.

And THAT is why you should never move away from the UK, Juxa. (I remember the exact minute you began hating Sheikh Sharif).

Err..after the recent Algeria stiuation when Western countries were accused of being slow to react and the Algerians showed that local forces are not to be trusted with any hostage situations, it makes sense for the Brits to issue such a warning to any waxha la yedhi news they hear.

I have a bad cold today but I'm still second in. Salaam all. p.s. Why is Juxa feeling down? Work again?

I read this article (via Jb) in the original Arabic the other day. It's written by a very competent political commentator and rather than coming across as envious, it actually praises the Turks and clearly hints at the lack of Saudi involvement and action in a country that shares the red sea with them. Read it without the blinkers, saaxib.

^^ When you brushed your teeth this morning, did you spit your brain out with the toothpaste warya? Read what the lady in the park said above.

I still hold those firm believes you said.I'd rather support a functioning government with a decent peace loving people than one with sad scenerio of suppresion and failure.With every turn of your screw to discredit Somaliland; they always do what they do best and that is have a successful system of organized community!

^^ I live in the middle of three parks. So, at any given time, I have to walk through a park to get home. As for question one, I refer you to the comment of my Burcaawi cousin above.

^^ Heh@ the thought of Norf needing to go to Saudi Arabia to become a saaqid! (wyre, xaajiga hanaga waalin).

If it's East London it's more likely that they're Bengali guys. I saw a Somali lady walking in the park at midnight one day. She was wearing a full jilbaab and walking in the dark like she owned the place. As I walked past her, I nodded my head and tried to keep my head down (so as not to scare her). This raggamufin Burcaawi lioness was not the girly type, she actually greated me loudly with a Somali salaam. So, as you would, I couldn't help asking her why she chose to walk through the park at that time of night and was she not scared of the group of Bengali teenagers who were gathered by the swings drinking RedBull & Vodka! Her brilliant reply was: "Ma kuwan gaagaaban? They're lucky I decided not to mug them"

^^ Oi! That's the excuse I use.

^^ Ban qaadiro! :D

^^ Making tea means I have to go to the staff room and going to the staff room that often means I will have to talk to staff. If I were in the habit of talking to my coworkers, I would not be here typing this stuff. Wax fahma.

^^ Exactly, even with two part time jobs. :D

^^ Not that I would ever want to be fair to MMA () but this one is nuune's area. General section nooh.

First in A G A I N ! Morning all. Norf, I don't drink tea at work.

Wonder what they'll do if this guy came to steal in their area! Police in Liverpool are searching for a thief who stole £50 worth of bacon from a supermarket. Shortly before 11.15am on Christmas Eve, the man walked into the Sainsbury’s store at Liverpool Central station and stole £50 of bacon. “ “We have viewed CCTV from the store and it appears the man simply walked into the shop, selected the bacon, and placed the meat into a satchel before calmly walking away. “And our enquiries have revealed the man returned to the shop on New Year’s Even and stole a further £10 of bacon.” – PC Kay Whittaker The British Transport Police has released the CCTV image of a man officers would like to speak to in connection with the thefts. Police are asking anyone who recognises the man, or has any information about the thefts, to call BTP on 0800 40 50 40 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Marra waaxid!
