^^ She just shook her head and said "same same".

You and what army? (Carafaat talks about a Jubba disease spreading but he got the wrong disease. Reer "WE" waa inuu la hadlo).

^^ It's not the accent that you have to worry about. It's the pidgin English (very hard to shake that one off, ask Norf). Heh. Norf, they do pay you (a mere £135 per week or 90% of your average weekly earning, whichever is lower). However, it's not really pay from their own pockets as they can recover it all from the inland revenue anyway. Some employers are more understanding and would carry on paying you your normal salary whilst you're on leave.

^^ By law, they don't have to pay me anyway. I can have the two weeks off if I wanted to but maxaan ku sameeya dee? At any rate, I just managed to negotiate the three days I took off. They're going to be treated as exceptional leave and I don't have to take them from my holidays (meaning many more half days to take). Heh.

Thank you Apophis and, of course, thanks to all for their good wishes.

Heh@the thought of Juxa being a wedding gift!

^^ Ibti will probably forget you in one of the million places she works in. If you want hospitality, go to Jb. He'll take you to the roof. (Salaam all).

^^ Girls are much easier. I have a favourite one to talk to, a favourite to play with and a favourite to joke with. And, no, it never changes. New baby, new personality. Though, of course, it helps when talking to rascals like you to use the phrase "Trust me, I know, I have x number of children".

^^ I'm not an Indian father, saaxib. I have no idea what he'll be. As for his name, it's the name of the first human on earth. Nice and simple. Norf, No such thing. Even the three days I took off are likley to be treated as "holiday". I say likely because I'm about to argue the subject with the powers that be. I'll either get it or they'll get an earache.

Thanks all. It seems that my getaway to Peru is going to be postponed for another twenty years (unless I kick him out at sixteen).

XX, waxaan nagada oo ii sheeg what happened to Al Shabab, saaxib. You can't be in control of an enitre city and then lose it in a couple of days without anyone knowing (or talking about) where you went to. Where did Al Shabab go, saaxib?

Norf, I'd do a better job than the ones running it now.

^^ Good stuff. Is Maaddeey sharing a hagbad with Malika? He always singles her out for greatings and gives us the hambo of his salaam. Not on. Not on at all.

^^ Adeer, call me a child or a bufoon if it makes you happy. Just come up with something worth reading and I promise to pat you on the back and tell you that you did good. I promise I said.

^^ If you say so. But it's still rubbish.

^^ And now your desk is full, Juxa? We await your breakdown with bated breath. (salaam all).

But I have something to say you empty bucket. I am telling you that you are talking RUBBISH. One can not contribute anything positive to RUBBISH. Wax fahan.

^^ If it makes sense, I applaud it. But Chimara never ever makes sense when it comes to Somalia. So, yes, I oppose all his topics.

They are already much more safer then cities like London and New York where murders, robbery, and rape are committed on daily basis. Have you been back lately? They have checkpoints at the entrances of all SL cities, saaaxib. As for the topic; stuff and nonesense as ever.

^^ Their Saudi representative denied having asked for any changes; it was IKEA being "politically correct". Bal yaa tusa what goes on in Saudi TV.

Have you all rolled your newspapes and went home then?

^^ You want your safety guarnteed yet you're going to spend some time with Ibti? The two don't compute. Nothing, Norf. One must only panic before things happen, not when they're taking place dee. I carried on having my suqaar.

^^ I doubt anyone is going to write a book about you anytime soon.

^^ It'll probably be the second question in the letter the Imam is about to draft.
