^^ And she's gone.

Faheema, Norf is feeling "home" sick. He talks to everyone he meets about Dubai and Dubai's beach, food places, indian workers, supermarkets, roads sand. You want him to explode with rage? Tell him you had hummous for lunch or something.

^^ War ha is daalin. Faheema is allowed one post per month and she's already used it to say hello. Expect her to reply to your salaam sometime in mid October. p.s. Nuune finally went to visit his in-laws in Jinn land. He's spending a jinn week there.

^^ I saw the missed call and the text this morning. :D

^^ That's because you're FISH! (love it when I get one up on you, taarikhda qor).

It was state action, and the Kenyan government was responsible for the massacre. Are you related to the man warya? (it's always crazy to stand in the way of a baying mob).

^^ Welcome to the club? You kept that one to yourself! p.s. The dentist's son is ours.

^^ SOMALIS! Wax fahan.

^^ True. The minute I walk into the house I normally put it in the kitchen cupboard and don't remember it until the next morning.

^^ They do. (The story was about two guys in the street. I have no idea why you thought it was a house!).

Do people use private e-mails these days? I can't remember the last time I sent (or recieved) a "personal" email. Of course, some would argue that I'm not that fond of phone calls or texts either (but I disagree, blame the answermachines).

^^ Waar xaasid ha noqon dee, Dr Osman ban islaha ka farxi oo riyada ha iska wato. Malak anta!

^^ I am not comparing them to Hong Kong, Xaaji. I am talking about the website. It has panoramas of most major placesf of the world (and Toronto ). Check it out.

Dr Osman..we await the day when both cities are put on this: http://www.airpano.com/files/Honkong/2-3

^^ That makes sense but I reckon the idea of upturned shoes predated houses and health risks. I believe it to be a myth like any other. The gaalo have the stuff about walking under ladders, breaking mirrors, doing things on odd numbered days and many other similar lunacies. In fact, all other cultures have such superstations and they all play along the lines of “good” and “bad”. I am not a social scientist or a historian but I reckon the origin of all these things is a fat dose of OCD. I mean who else other than an obsessive compulsive would worry about an upturned shoe, a skewed table or crooked carpet? Think of all the “waxan lama sameeyo” cultural myths and tell me if you can’t sniff a strong whiff of OCD associated to every single one of them. p.s. I hear Xaaji X opens his browser and closes it three times before starting to surf the net. Waxa la yedhi, if you do that you'll always read good news about SL.

You can't. Not when the numbers are that huge and people are in the mood for roiting. We'll just have to wait that one out.

^^ The poor man is in shock and talking rubbish.

^^ Got a mate of mine who spent the past month in Xamar. He's doing exactly what the qurbajoog do when going to H Town (trying to land himself a project of some sort). A sure sign that the place is improving, if any.

I like the way Alpha was picked out of the blue.

^^ How can I do that? Dadka miyaan ku duusa?

^^ All that can be arranged, saaxib. But then we'll have to take the tube.

^^ I was hoping you'll be the first to report it.

^^ The Piccadilly line goes straight from Heathrow to Wood Green, Bounds Green and beyond. What tube station do you want me to wait for you at? p.s. I don't drive. I HATE driving.
