Someone stated in another thread that Galol at 39 and Mac at 44 were "ageing kaffirs." I wanted to point out that age is a relative thing and that Mac and Galol are old only from an in-country Somali perspective. From a western perspective they are just middle aged. As far as expectations go, even I have a few years left. For the record, my grandfather was still running 300 head of cattle when he was killed in an auto accident at the age of 81.

"Life expectancy for Americans has reached an all-time high, according to the latest U.S. mortality statistics released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The report, “Deaths: Preliminary Data for 2003,” prepared by CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), shows life expectancy at 77.6 years in 2003, up from 77.3 in 2002.

The gap between male and female life expectancy closed from 5.4 years in 2002 to 5.3 years in 2003, continuing a trend toward narrowing since the peak gap of 7.8 years in 1979. Record-high life expectancies were found for white males (75.4 years) and black males (69.2 males), as well as for white females (80.5 years) and black females (76.1 years)."

Galol @ 39. Ha!

i figured he was around 40

Take or add a decade or three.

according to his quite visual accounts of Somalia and xamar in the 70s.
you get the idea that he was in his late teens during that time.

making him in his late 40's now.

[quote="PragmaticGal"]Take or add a decade or three.[/quote]

If you take a decade or three....he is a newborn then..

Well, he's as likely to be a newborn as 39, Cawar

Gurey, he was precocious.

Ok how about adding then???

So whats the deal with Galol?
do you fancy him.

do we have an athiest lovefest here?


gurey bieng childish

I've been chasing Galol since I was 20. But all I get is a pat on the head and a "why don't you go play with your little friends?". He plays the perv on SomNet but he's really anything but

ah so all that talk about buggering poor sheep was just talk then,
or maybe you are jelous he prefers the charms of a sexy lamb than you.

Now I envy the B@stard.

Don't say that Cawar, he'll try to find a way to foist me off to you.

Gurey, it's all nonsense. He has ridiculous standards of intelligence and "maturity" that pretty much rule out most women, much less our four legged friends.

"Don't say that Cawar, he'll try to find a way to foist me off to you. "

Well if that happens I will make you a good muslimah.

how cawar ,
