I was sitting on his jardin with his neice. I broke the door down and got under him lifted his feet untill he was standing on my chest .. i spent 10 minutes like that untill a nieghbor got a knife and cut the rope down. As a souvenier he has a ring around his neck with blank spots where the holes should be and a beating from his brothers and uncles he will never forget. what does this have to do with anything .. your comment about ropes and knives and the Ayat reminded me about this episode ... The pearl of wisdom "No matter what misfortune befalls you ... it is a test from allah ... i.e suicide is not an option"

^ it is regional. in parts of somalia xaas = family kala tuurid = can mean taking care of. but in other areas xaas is exclusively wife. but kalatuurid depends on the context ... in the sheeko of abtiga 'kalatuurid' makes the man a dayus in that context.

^ A particular senile old goat missing from your list there Duke ! including every MP of the TFG who signed on the dotted line to allow the filty tigre in.

^ consider the following points Pujah - He is going against the official policy not only of every other country in the world aside from Israel, but even the US itself. Not one country has acknowledged Israel's annexation of East Jerusalem. Not one country has its embassy in Jerusalem - all embassies are in Tel Aviv. - He is taking a position more extreme than George W. Bush, who has made no such declaration that Jerusalem must remain undivided. (He has said that Israel will keep major settlement blocs in a peace agreement, which is bad enough, but that doesn't imply keeping the Arab parts of Jerusalem.) - He is taking a position more extreme than many - quite possibly most - Israelis, including some in the current government, who have talked about the possibility of sharing Jerusalem. - He is siding with the most right-wing elements of both Israeli and Jewish-American opinion, and with the rabid Christian Zionist movement. have a look at these links: here here

amazing isn't it .. during the primaries I was for Obama 100% .. but now i cant stand B.O. the man is becoming a more frighting prospect then the feeble old man. His absolute prejudice towards Muslims is astonishing to say the least.The man holds more extreme positions then G.B himself, and people please stop making excuses for him ! He has gone above and beyond the obligatory "I support Israel no matter what" ... "Muslims are terrorists" .. which is required for any candidate of that office. These proclamations would be considered 'pandering' if he were involved in some back-n-forth with the McCain campaign regarding his support of Israel ... which is not the case ... if these are his 'Well thought out foreign policy' positions imagine what his pandering is going to be like.

war meeshay gadaashay bello ka dhacday Originally posted by sheherazade: LooL. Ibts, Che couldn't handle it but Xarbi's still around for a menage a trois. What do you say? ^ I wasnt around for that .. my usual bad timing .. better luck next time eh. waryaada this back-n-forth ma wanaagsana if it goes over the line .. hinting @ somethign is ok ... lakin bahasha in la qaawiyo mahan. no worry trollers mating season is almost over ... everything will be back to normal !

^ soo dhawoow She welcome back to the home team

^ it comes naturally yaa ibti. horta adiga ma seexatid miyaa ... it must be saq dhexe on your side of the pond ?

^ :mad: incase you have not noticed there 2 faaraxs and 2 xalimos currently in troll section .. everyone should play for their correct teams. *huddles with Che* I'll go right n tackle ibti ... you go left n take shez !

waa maxay sidan ... ladies there are some old n lonely faarax you know .. so spread some love

^ the SOL geezers were havinga a fest .. digging up the ol dayz. ka leexda boqorada soo gashay ! ma raydaa ?

Xiinow waxaan ahaa nin weyn oo ****tiisu geel dabrayso baan ahaa (inta maqan .. ninkii garan baa garan , doqona loo sheegi maayo ) Che ...i wouldnt call it a favour but i woudnt trade it for anything

actually we used to with a buma under the macawis .. to get to the beach ..how else will you travel through the city ... nin weyn buumo xidhan ceeb calayk ayaa lagu dhihi the only time i could get away with that is when i was living in c/casis right beside Liido .. so i could walk for 3 minutes anigoo feedho qaawan oo caga cad !

Che sxb .. the oldest part of city. namely 'C/caziz' especially the Liido beach ... Bashir raages goons relieved me of a macawis or 2 ... lol they let me go the next time ... i think they felt guilty isbaaro the same guy 2 days in a row ... but still noting could keep me away from Liido beach

Lx I would suggest visiting www.sourceforge.net all software on that site is completely open source (Free) search for the recovery utilities ... the prevoius site that i gave the www.download.com has a filter search option that will allow you to only search for 'freeware'

LX sxb. that is a tricky one because if the file was on the system HDD ... there would have been a few options to recover it from windows. I remember reading a while back .. that MS excel creates an exact copy of any document that you have open and unsaved in a windows temp folder with a really long alphanumeric file name and windows does a file swap when saving. In any case there is software that can help you with your specefic problem (I dont know any off the top of my head)... try searching on www.download.com in the utilities section search for file recovery software .. be sure to read the comments left by other users of the particular software you want to use.

I dont know why Burco has such a rep .. I have been introuduced to the business end of a budh in Hargeisa and Borama but surprisingly not Burco. and xamar I happened into a few isbaaros .... most of them in Che's corner of the city I have yet to visit the east (pland) but i will in my next trip IA

Originally posted by NGONGE: Lily, You may have a point there. The guy that killed the prophet's uncle (waxshi ibno xarb) was black. Maybe he was Somali. But then again, even Abu Sufyan's father was called Xarb. So maybe not. Xarb in Arabic means WAR. Xarbi would mean a man of war. ^ afkaaga caano baqay lagu qabay sxb that is what i meant ... the two favourite past times of our forefathers herding camels, and making war. maalin waanagsan trollers

^ I concur but it is a good way for up and coming students to show their bones in the language .. i say throw ibti in a room with 5 habro .. and see if she can fend for her self

ibti here is a free nugget from me. from now on, if anybody should ask "Ma raydaa ?" or its many other forms. the appropriate response is: "bariiska wax diidan ma leh" which means waan fiicanahay. you should have some variability ... you somali is only as good as how long you can keep a salaan going .. the longer the better

^ dont make me pull it up ... you know SOL should charge you tuition fees for instructing you in somali. Lily it is Geel_jire on a holiday got a lil tired of herding the damn stubborn beasts ... so i'm in the mood for Xarb
