^^ Here is one that likes to be treated mean to stay keen Oh I forgot; Xiin, waxa ha es qarin saaxib. My Somali might be weak but it's not that weak.

So is it on or is it off? All these reports are pretty confusing! Clear it up for me, saaxib. Do you expect them to meet on Thursday with an acceptable number of delegates? I needn't ask if you think this conference is going to be successful. Since the so-called insurgents are still happily firing away at anything that moves, we'll more or less stay exactly where we were before the commencement of this conference, right?

^^ Just showing off ps JB, If you get to meet North make sure you treat him to a good lunch and a couple of green bundles (if he so wishes). Forward me the receipts and the reimbursement will be sent to the usual paypal account.

I was enjoying the qabiil argument more than this love nonsense. Take us back to that. Did you agree on something?

Serenity Do you know what I did on Saturday night? I locked myself, alone, in a dark room, with a flask of coffee and a kilo of Omani sweets (courtesy of Northerner). I felt sick by the end of it but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Originally posted by -Serenity-: You know what I dont like Munira ? People who are addressing me yet dont have the balls to do it directly. As for me 'bullying' - bah humbug! She's getting married tomorrow. Behave yourself and wish her well. Even if you think she's wrong. ps Leave JB alone. I have been converted and I'm a great fan of him and Xan. Look how dead this place is when they're not here! pps Congratulations again Xenna girl. Happy harusi and all that..

I wonder what Duke would write if the rules of the site were relaxed a little and the mention of clans were allowed!

^^ You lost me there!

^^ Friday the 13th There goes her henna again

Sounds like JB complained to eido Munira! I doubt Xan is complaining. She's a tough Troll that one. ps Blame Serenity. She started a Troll thread and then started moaning about the people that kept it going. She should be banned from this thread. As rudy would say: can I get a booooo....

Morning trolls. I used to hate this thread!

^^ We're talking about rudy here, saaxib! It probably has nothing to do with politics. My guess is that his ex-wife was from Laas Caanood.

Originally posted by -Nomadique-: LoL, Seriously what do you do all day? Im sure ME is going to come out of the woodworks too. He's a chief executive of an international xawaalad. They have branches all over the world: like Puntland, Somaliland, Jubbaland and leatherland...

BiLaaL The place matters. Would you listen to a wadaad giving a lecture in whorehouse? How can the Asmara group deny the charge that their Eritrea's puppets and are being exploited in her war with Ethiopia? This is not just about beliefs and principles. This is politics and, in politics, IMAGE is everything. Why else do you think Abdullahi Yusuf is sat in that bombed out Villa Somalia when he could easily go somewhere safer and more luxurious!

^^^ But they’ll be seen by many as being Eritrean puppets. Which brings us back to the same question: how are they different to those in the Somali capital?

Warsaxaafadeed.... What would you say the exact translation of this strange word is? Statement? Press release?

A telephone shop then? (Don't admit it by the way. People will hate you for it).

Enjoy. As long as you don't bring any snakes back with you, I'm happy. Talking of snakes. My now disowned daughter put a rubber snake under my pillow last night. I've got a big swollen bump on my head this morning (no boredom story, this is true).

North has been excited about this trip for months now. I just know that the very next day after his arrival caluusha socon doonta! All the signs are there Val, as long as you're breathing, m'dear. That Australian holiday must seem like years ago now. (good).

Originally posted by me: No need, we can discuss the situation here. The question this topic raises is. Are the arts above clannism? is it our poet? our singer? our writter? or is it a Somali poet, Somali singer, Somali writter? I could never understand you, saaxib! One minute, you bleat on and on and on about Somali unity and tradition! Yet, the next you try to brush aside the actual point of Somali poetry! If I were someone from Berbara I would say that that poet was OUR poet. In the same way that Northerner would tell you that Hadrawi is HIS poet. You can be impressed by their words and enjoy some reflected glory because they recite their poetry in your language but you have nothing to do with these poets. We had this conversation before, my friend. You can't just ignore all the traditions that makeup Somali society to suit your crazy unity ideas. In fact, tell me please: do you know of any Somali poet that did not (at least once) write a poem about (or praising) his own clan? Do such people exist? You can't attempt to unite people if you don't pay attention to the basics.

Do goldfish ever get tired? Where is Val?

Cheer up, son.
