Did they really go for each other? Any good punches landed?

What sort of animals do you work with, saaxib?

^^ Looks like most of you are sticking to your guns. Hardly any of the usual suspects have been here today.

^^

^^ Come on now, Xiin. He put it much better than that: All in all, I believe that if you re-read your argument, that you, yourself, will see that you really have no case against those of us who question the sincerity of the designers of this deal (not mind you, the good Sheikh in doing so, in the first place). Other than saying, you're from Somaliland, and therefore, in ever so subtle way on your part, you seamed to be suggesting what dear old Mr. Ducaysane, had the brass neck to say to us. Namely we in – Somaliland - are heart-stricken about the notion of seeing peace coming to Somalia any time soon. A&T, There is nothing for me to add here really, nothing that I have not said earlier. I fully understand and appreciate both positions without resorting to accusations of one group being clandestine TFG supporters or others being Somlilanders that don't wish Somalia to have peace. You can accuse others of hiding their true feelings in here but it would be quite a leap to accuse someone that coined the phrase 'defeated lot'. If he thought it was in Somaliland's interest, he would have been saying it aloud without caring what you think of him. So, we may as well drop that redundant accusation. As for the deal, it looks iffy but since the deadline is only 120 days I see no reason why the resistance can't hold their fire for those 120 days. I bet you that even Xiin in his highest moments of optimistic delirium still has doubts about the validity or success of such a deal. Other than that, there is really nothing much to add to his argument.

Every last one of them? It can't be. They must be on strike or something.

Those smelly students are everywhere. Still, I'm curious to know what Islamic system they would want to use. Would it shut them up if Riyaale declared himself Amir-El-Mo'meneen?

^^ War lets leave what's in the general section there. No point in mixing things. As for the topic, I dare say nobody here gave my guru a proper reply. You all skirted around the points he made and played the man rather than the ball.

Where are the trolls today?

It's not meekness it's guardedness, saaxib. One never knows when one is put on the spot.

I agree, Xiin. But I think the transformation could be done through posting better articles (written by the Nomads rather than the perpetual deluge of stuff from other websites). No offence, but I'd rather have ownership of my own views and defend them rather than compromise them for the sake of an editorial. Still, if this is your way of telling us that our standards have dropped I'll be the first to admit that it's been a long time since I've been serious in anything I wrote. In fact, maybe that's where that ennui is coming from! Maybe I should start fully wading in again.

^^ You don't understand the meaning of plagiarism, do you? The man voluntarily told you these were not entirely his own words. Of course, other than bits and pieces here and there the whole thing is gobbledygook to me.

Cawij = bent Ibti, it's like hammering a nail. Sometimes you have to hammer it in sideways for it to come straight on the other side.

^^ It is a Somali maah maah, Xiin & Ibti. As if I would not know my Arab proverbs. There is another Somali maah maah that says: doqo cawij yadlac saaxi. (I have no idea where somalis get this stuff from).

Ibti & North, Somalido waxay ku maahmaahda: al xaasid ma yaflax. Brof, I was thinking bigger than that when I said Youth Club.

^^^ Yes. Big miss.

^^ Don't change the subject please. This is not about North. It's about ME, ME, ME (winks at Faheema & Afro).

^^ He's talking about his teeth again, silly.

North, Are you sure doing this now was wise, saaxib? Maybe you should get one of the guys to spend the night at yours. Is H still in India?

^^ As if I'd marry a vulgar woman that employs the black bag method. No, my dear, we're classier than that. She will send me an e-mail telling me the date and time when I should go to the empty house to collect my belongings (and I bet they'll all be ironed and washed).

War ka joog...

^^ I am quite happy with my current model. A top up may be good but a total change? NEVER.

Ibti, He was there on holiday. It was a spur of the moment thing. I have no idea if he made it. But the guy that bought the passport didn't.
