^ Red wants anyone who visits Burco to wear prescription strength rose-tinted glasses. You should have focused on teh peace, and the way people are getting along. Compared to what, the London Blitz?

Count me in too. I thought I knew everything that could be added to tea. Have a safe return Xanthus.

There are many thugs for hire roaming around in parts of Somalia. Put them in dark suits and sunglasses, give them walkie-talkies, and presto! "Somali-owned private security agencies"

Is it laga maarmaan or lagama maarmaan? Xaq in Somali comes closer to meaning "justice" rather than "truth". I would say "dhab" means "genuine" or "precise". Qayaano means deception, not just secret (sir).

Rudy, I think you just go right up to Zu and offer to share your cupcake, he'll get the message. Just keep in mind that when he says "bugger off before I hurt you mate", it's Ozzie slang, means roughly "Are you free Saturday?"

I hate to break it to you all, but your children are far more likely to be molested by your married next door neighbor than the flamboyantly gay foreign journalist. He'd hardly be inconspicuous at the local playground.

Beautiful. The camels look like they were brought in just for the photo shoot

That's the first exercise in snake charming school.

What do private security firms do? Contact Nur, he's very interested in the anarchist movement.

LOL. I feel sorry for the guys who actually are called Faarax. It's a nice name, too bad it got saddled with all that baggage.

When I read "Aussie Snaps" I thought LOZ went on a rampage.

We're not "bloody wusses". We just know our place is at the well-polished heel of whichever Faarax is compassionate enough to micromanage our every breathing moment. Pray that someday you too should be so lucky.

Your heart's not really in it Trevor, you had to pad it out with pictures.

**Confused edit**

Calm down Sophi. You know anger is unattractive in a woman. Do you want to get wrinkles or something?

f you spell Chuck Norris wrong on Google it doesn't say, "Did you mean Chuck Norris?" It simply replies, "Run while you still have the chance."

You just had a fresh batch of cookies didn't you?

^Or maybe he's Mr. Mysterious about his wealth. He will insist on a mini breaks during dinner so that you can both ‘freshen up’. This cracked me up.

Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs. There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live. Chuck Norris CAN believe it's not butter. When an episode of Walker Texas Ranger was aired in France, the French surrendered to Chuck Norris just to be on the safe side. Chuck Norris grinds his coffee with his teeth and boils the water with his own rage.

Lily, tim tams are to biscuits what Crocodile Dundee is to men.

Grow up dear.

Should I? Oh what the hell. Einstein's theory of relativity: If Chuck Norris kicks you, your relatives will feel it. Chuck Norris doesn't eat honey. He eats the bees. Chuck Norris has counted to infinity. Twice. Chuck Norris once went to the Virgin Islands. Now they're just the Islands.

Sorry saxiib, even bucket-loads of coconut oil won't come close to that statement for sheer shukaansi power.

Castro, it's true there are variations, but each news agency has a certain wording. Maybe not a signature, but could be a shortcut key Reuters: "Somalia has been in anarchy since warlords kicked out dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991." "President Abdullahi Yusuf’s government is struggling to impose central rule on the Horn of Africa nation, in anarchy since warlords kicked out dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991." Associated Press: "Somalia does not have a coast guard or navy and has not had an effective central government since 1991, when warlords ousted longtime dictator Mohamed Siad Barre and then turned on one another, making the country's 1,880-mile coastline one of the most dangerous for ships."
