Indisposed

Due to a minor accident, I have unfortunately been admitted to hospital for observation for a couple of days. Nothing to worry about but I won’t have full access to the Internet.

So in the tradition of Mahmood’s Den, until I return the scapegoat of the moment is hereby declared to be Saddam Hussein.

Have at him Guys!

    I hope everything will be fine with you, and Matshoof Shar.
    Which hospital you will be admitted in and ward number?

  2. Pamela

    Get well soon Mahmood, my prayers are with you.

    You’ll be back to your magnificent garden in no time!

    peace be with you.

    :yes:

    Don’t be away too long – I wish you a VERY short stay in hospital and a speedy return to full form…

    Mahmoud, I trust all will be well with you and honouring your invite; here goes!
    Saddam, if the Republicans are able to keep on to their power in Congress, I blame it ALL on you! Not John Kerry (although he’s a close second) but YOU YOU YOU!
    $^&*&^$argh!!!

    Best wishs Mahmood, get well soon! I just turned in my request for an absentee ballot yesterday, so if I don’t get one, I’m blaming it on Sadam!

    Ma Alaik Shar Bu A’arif..

    But internet in the hospital? Since when! We barely had phones when I last checked?

    Hope that your hospital food is better than ours and remember that the first rule of the Hippocratic oath is do no harm to the income stream.

    You didnt wreck that nice car of yours did you?

    Get well.

  8. can we talk now

    Keep you dormanted for two days for observation inspite of you being the moon that you are! What happened to their eyes or instruments?

    Wahal Yakhfal Kamar! ( Arabic saying which transliterate to something like: The Earth’s moon is too hard to escape being observed).

    Get well, cya later.

  11. Ali

    You seemed very well when I saw you at albareh last night!

    I hope its nothing major and that you’ll be back in no time. In the meantime, rest yourself.

    I just perused the blogs after a few days absence, and came upon this posting.

  16. Lujayn

    You sure its the hospital you’ve been admitted to for observation? 😉

    Salamtak, Mahmood, and hope you’re feeling better soon.

  17. JustAName

    =O Saddam ~~ Its all your fault that my friends kid is being naughty.

  18. Princess Ambiguous

    Matshoof sher inshallah.

    I blame Saddam for you being in hospital. I also blame him for making it so cold in the UK that all I want to do is hibernate. I blame him for the campus store closing at 7.30. And last, but most certainly not least, I blame Saddam for me not having chocolate in my room!

  19. Ethan

    Get well soon, Mahmood. Don’t let Saddam keep you down!

    For my part, I blame Saddam for the Anfal campaign.

  20. QofD

    Saddam, you are really making me angry lately. First you caused the cable company to tear up my street so nobody can get their cars out of the garages, and now you are stirring up trouble with the weather.

    Oh, everyone thinks that George Bush is to blame for hurricanes and such, but we really know that it’s you Saddam!

  21. newf'swoman

    Dubya is blaming Saddam for the fact that the Democratic party won both houses of Congress. Hmmm.

    Mahmood… The Intl? Come on now. They’ll admit you with a sore finger!!!!!!! 😆

  36. Maverick

    Wishing you a speedy recovery.
    May Allah grant your family patience and peace of mind and comfort in your absence.
    Warm regards
    Maverick

    Saddam killed, brutalised and sodomised his fellow Iraqies and now he wants forgiveness. He thinks they are morons. Just like the Bahrainin woman and her pakistani lover who brutally killed her poor husband in his invalid state and now is wanting to escape with blood money. How easy it is to strike the dowfallen but so painful to eat the bullet of fate.
    They should kill him the way he killed the poor man and that too in public as a lesson to all.

  38. Maverick

    When is the parlimentary elections in Bahrain, before or after Saddam gets strangled?

  39. Ash

    I bet Mahmood’s gone in for plastic surgery. He’ll emerge in a few days time looking mysteriously like Michael Schumacher and attribute it all to a good night’s sleep :yes:

  40. jayjerome

    Mahmood’s release from hospital is talking longer then expected… can any of his friends in Bahrain update us on his progress?

  41. Mahmood Al-Yousif

    I’m back at home but ordered to stay in bed for at least another week!

    I came home at lunchtime on Saturday, but unfortunately I could not use the computer at all and this is the first chance I have had since the admission.

    I’ve got an explanation post coming up today I hope…

    thank you all once again for your good wishes.

  42. naddooi

    Mahmood’s release from hospital taking too long? its Saddam’s fault!!!

    But seriously, I hope the delay is not due to anything serious, and only just Mahmood’s wish to take a short holiday 😉

    Get well!

  43. Akkad

    To have at Saddam is tantamount to having at the USA. To cut it short, USA appointed him, as it did the rest of other Arab ‘leaders’ pursuant to the sikes-pikkot’s understanding to devy-up the Arab territories and resources between the then super powers of England and France.
    Now that Mahmood’s indisposition is taking longer, first let’s all wish him sppedy recovery. Then, I would like to repeat his invitation to attack Saddam …. oooops, the US successive governments, his master and mocker.

  44. Ash

    I hope you feel better soon, Mahmood. That doesn’t sound like it was such a “minor injury” after all.
