Paripanna, I had shared with JDAM Wandifaa that I am awake even when I'm asleep. Like Yahya. So I wouldn't worry about Haruna being sleepy if I were you. C'est la meme chose. I will share some ideas with you here: [In a message dated 4/25/2009 6:17:57 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [log in to unmask] writes: Et tu Masoud!] Jatta Njie. Bah oui! [Reading from the last couple of mails you sent in you sound like somebody sleepy. I do like your contributions here but not when you sound tired, sleepy or fixated on Mr. Drammeh.FYI Mr. Mballow had effectively address the question of Mr. Drammeh.] Jatta Njie. Addressed. I think Mballow addresses Dramane's pannafore on his own behalf. That does not have much to do with Haruna. [And you missed my point. My point was not whether lawyer Darboe becoming president or not; my point was, there is a sizable segment of the Gambian population that is tired of this green boys mentality.] Jatta Njie. And what is the Green Boys' mentality Paripanna??? [You get it?] Jatta Njie. I'm sorry I didn't get it my good friend. [Now you too go to sleep. Will ya?] Jatta Njie. And what'd I tell you about my sleep business???? dankuto leh beng tayma. Nka Malu-ilaleh. [And before you go to sleep note that UDP needs to win this segment too.] Jatta Njie. I imagine that would be UDP's purview. Wouldn't you say??? [And I am sorry if this mail come with no subject. It is not deliberate.] Jatta Njie. Don't fret my good lad. Its not important. [I am using a blackberry as opposed to a pc.] Jatta Njie. I hope you get electrocuted with these blackberries. Laye is another one who is permanently tethered to these gadgets. You better be careful. I think President Obama is unduly burdening himself now that he is President of the US. If he should ask me, I'll advise he jettison his blackberry, spruced-up and all. [Thanks!] Jatta Njie. Yeah I love you too gaddamit. Haruna. I am not pleased with you at this time. Maybe later.
