Hilib baa yaala.

What is a restaurant in the Somali qurbo context? There are those who want something heavy very quickly ie the usual maqaaxi serving the usual menus (barris/baasto + hilib/digaag). This Nomad restaurant looks nice but who is it targeting? It is inevitable that all kinds of people will come and try the food. The guy about to go and chew as well as the professional who has just left work (or he could be both heh). Couples would want to go but would be put off if its accessible to one and all.

Leeds iyo Sheffield aan u dhexeeya I hope they are treating you well up north saxib. Best place in England :cool: If you are in need of good ole Somali restaurants then there are plenty. Chances are you will be served by a cousin of mine

King Kenny!

1000th???? Blimey

Not suggesting you should settle there but a longer stay (longer than 2hrs) JB, bus to where? Don't trust you

Should we expect Ngonge to leave his comfort zone and go back to Africa. Just think of it as an Arab country saxib JB should organise an SOL get together. Waa magaaladiisii. Alpha is still an imposter

Alpha, still eating at your favourite place? Hmm, Hargaisa has some good eateries. Day eating at Dalxiis, Barwaaqo, Mansoor or Ambassador. Not sure what is available at night apart from Summertime and the hotels. There is a Zoo? LoL wa la ilbaxay dhe Berbera beach on a Thursday with families from all over SL enjoying a day out (probably more so in the summer with all of the dhaqan fams). Great thread. Might see a few SOLers there in July IA

What a performance last night! No one expected The King to be THIS good. I enjoy watching LFC play these days. Something I haven't been able to do for a few years. I hope Ngonge's Spurs win tonight. He tells us he has been keeping an eye on them this season because they took our spot in the top 4 but I think he has a soft spot for them as he used to live in N17 Come on you Yi..I mean Spuds

What chance this was posted and replied to by the same person?

With a cup final and the chances of a first trophy in 35 years thrown into the mix City are nervous and they play Spurs, Stoke and Bolton away. They could throw it all away. We get 4th but we have to beat Fulham tonight. They have been our bogey team.

Banyoouuun! How did he not play? Malouda ran around in circles. Kalou just ran and lost the ball and Lampard's short comings are being highlighted as he no longer has Makalele, Ballack, Robben etc giving him that english media hype. Come on LFC tonight and Spurs tomorrow night (2 games Ngonge will def watch heh). Tuujiye yaa arkay? LoL

Carlo keeps getting it wrong. Kalou? Kalou? What a waste of space. I wonder if Tuujiye still thinks Luis is the best defender in the Prem

The progress made over the past couple of years has been fantastic.

^The bigger picture isn't obscure. It right there in front of you. Somaliland's recent trips to the ME has asked questions of Somalia's purpose, lack of progress and undermined it's leadership. It would be good if someone addressed it rather than dabble in 'waxa la yidhi' stuff and picture competitions.

He is refusing to look at the bigger picture dee

Breadcrumbs lads, breadcrumbs! After failing to comment DURING the visits, Xiin has finally come with the argument that Silaanyo was representing Somalia on the basis that Kuwait does not recognise Somaliland. Woohooo!!! Xiin, saxib, dee maad sida kale u eegtid arinta? Facts, as Rafa would say, is all that counts here. 1. The Somaliland delegation went to UAE and Kuwait after receiving invites (even though they knew they were the representatives of a country seeking independence from a fellow ‘Arab’ country). 2. The delegation included the SL foreign minister who met with the UAE foreign minister and the Indian ambassador to the UAE. 3. Both countries have promised to push through funding for infrastructure and education development. Now, the question Xiin should be asking is why two Arab nations are dealing with SL at this presidential and ministerial level? Were they dealing with them at lower levels previously (Kuwait definitely was)? What did the foreign ministers discuss if it didn’t involve SL stressing their desire for recognition? What does this visit mean for the Somalia project? Does it mean it has failed? Have the Arabs finally publically acknowledged it has (the SL visit means they have)? Has Somalia’s failures lead to this (including the piracy issues). I could go on. Xiin, please look inwards before trying to fashion breadcrumbs into full slices. Ps, next time you’re in the UAE and an Arab asks you where you’re from and you answer. Be prepared for the second question of: Min Al Soomaal wa la Ard Al Soomaal? pps, Somalia could learn alot from this SL visit and the PR machine behind it.

This below must be the mother of all conspiracy theories doberman21 Reply: May 4th, 2011 at 9:17 am IS PIECZENIK JEWISH? It’s odd he’s coming forward w/this now…Like we haven’t figured out the elites have moved on to the NEXT PHASE: a/ Now that the jewish bankers have achieved their goals of destroying the economies of every country & making every one subservient to their perpetual debt… its time to throw America (their host) under the bus; & b/ Blame it on Israel; Why? To divert attention from the fact that aetheist/jewish bankers: a/ Control the Fedl Res./IMF/World Banking System & have bought & control the US govt., even whilst Americans are waking & up & trying to figure our how to undo 100 yrs of damage (it really started before the Constitution folks–the Fed. is only the 4th central bank in U.S. history… w/the 1st before we we’re even “independant.” b/ Are the ones that caused & funded Theodore Herzl (the father of zionism), WWI & WWII, inter alia, to “create” the sole cause (the “holocaust”) for worldwide support of the re-creation of a jewish homeland… c/ Only wanted to re-create the “jewish homeland” to be an “antagonist” to bring about WWIII, which will culminate in the fruition of a global government, that they control, necessitated by a global desire for peace & disarmament as a result of that war. In essence folks, the aethiest jews have taken the hebrew idea of a messianic kingdom & decided they will create it w/out the Messiah … & the jewish bankers will be running the whole shabang! It is, after all, their right, as “God’s chosen” to enslave the world through usury & reap the rewards on the backs of the goyim (“you”) & your progeny… into perpetuity. Let us be mindful that Herzl & Gurion were both aethiests. Gurion was a member of a marxist party in Poland, went on to head a marxist labor union, fought (& got arrested 2 x’s in 1905) in the Russian Labor Revolution (while Trotsky was also there fighting!)—leading up to the Bolshevik revolution, & was later rewarded by being installed as the 1st Prime Minister of Israel, a known bastion of “democracy.” keep in mind that most of the Jews today (99%) (i.e. including the bankers) are “REFORM JEWS… meaning they are Pharissaic Jews & no longer live under the Covenant, but rather a new set of “modern” Pharisee laws called the Talmud… In fact, almost 70% identify themselves as aetheists (according to a recent poll), & even so, most “reform jews” are “technically” aethiests anyway since they: (1)no longer keep the Law; & (2) ARE NOT A RACE, BUT A RELIGION (The Torah/O.T. explains these “Covenant people” were comprised of various races…what made them part of the “Covenant” was OBEYING THE COVENANT, NOT WHO THEIR PARENTS WERE) They were eventually “divorced from God” because they no longer kept the covenant (Jeremiah & Isaiah)…More, acurately, they thought God divorced them, but they actually divorced God & caused their own enslavement. Who are these reform Pharisess? They seem to fit John of Patmos’ description in Revelations of “THOSE THAT CALL THEMSELVES JEWS & ARE NOT”… seen just before the messianic period. In one respect, the Pharisees have kept one principle of the Covenant…the prohibition of exacting usury for any other purposes than ENSLAVING AN ENEMY. FIAT is just a natural progression of the MONEYCHANGERS’ MACHINATIONS USING DISHONEST WEIGHTS & MEASURES… it’s just the ultimate deception since the world, not just the U.S., pays perpetual interest to jewish bankers on worthless fiat! They seemed to be schooled in that concept… in that they ARE exacting their fiat usury on the world. Zionism is a product of the same people Jesus identified as a “Synagogue of Satan”…Pharisees. The real purpose of zionism was not to re-create the jewish homeland (that’s just the trojan horse)… but to trick secular jews & evangelical Christians to work toward their own demise… by helping the “chosen ones” a/k/a JEWISH MONEYCHANGERS, TO ESTABLISH THEIR GLOBAL ZIONIST STATE! THE NWO ORDER IS ACTUALLY THE JEWISH BANKERS’ GLOBAL ZION!

Top US Government Insider: Bin Laden Died In 2001, 9/11 A False Flag Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under three different administrations Steve R. Pieczenik says he is prepared to tell a federal grand jury the name of a top general who told him directly 9/11 was a false flag attack. Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Wednesday, May 4, 2011 Top US government insider Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, a man who held numerous different influential positions under three different Presidents and still works with the Defense Department, shockingly told The Alex Jones Show yesterday that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001 and that he was prepared to testify in front of a grand jury how a top general told him directly that 9/11 was a false flag inside job. Pieczenik cannot be dismissed as a “conspiracy theorist”. He served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under three different administrations, Nixon, Ford and Carter, while also working under Reagan and Bush senior, and still works as a consultant for the Department of Defense. A former US Navy Captain, Pieczenik achieved two prestigious Harry C. Solomon Awards at the Harvard Medical School as he simultaneously completed a PhD at MIT. Recruited by Lawrence Eagleburger as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Management, Pieczenik went on to develop, “the basic tenets for psychological warfare, counter terrorism, strategy and tactics for transcultural negotiations for the US State Department, military and intelligence communities and other agencies of the US Government,” while also developing foundational strategies for hostage rescue that were later employed around the world. Pieczenik also served as a senior policy planner under Secretaries Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, George Schultz and James Baker and worked on George W. Bush’s election campaign against Al Gore. His record underscores the fact that he is one of the most deeply connected men in intelligence circles over the past three decades plus. The character of Jack Ryan, who appears in many Tom Clancy novels and was also played by Harrison Ford in the popular 1992 movie Patriot Games, is also based on Steve Pieczenik. Back in April 2002, over nine years ago, Pieczenik told the Alex Jones Show that Bin Laden had already been “dead for months,” and that the government was waiting for the most politically expedient time to roll out his corpse. Pieczenik would be in a position to know, having personally met Bin Laden and worked with him during the proxy war against the Soviets in Afghanistan back in the early 80′s. Pieczenik said that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001, “Not because special forces had killed him, but because as a physician I had known that the CIA physicians had treated him and it was on the intelligence roster that he had marfan syndrome,” adding that the US government knew Bin Laden was dead before they invaded Afghanistan. Marfan syndrome is a degenerative genetic disease for which there is no permanent cure. The illness severely shortens the life span of the sufferer. “He died of marfan syndrome, Bush junior knew about it, the intelligence community knew about it,” said Pieczenik, noting how CIA physicians had visited Bin Laden in July 2001 at the American Hospital in Dubai. “He was already very sick from marfan syndrome and he was already dying, so nobody had to kill him,” added Pieczenik, stating that Bin Laden died shortly after 9/11 in his Tora Bora cave complex. “Did the intelligence community or the CIA doctor up this situation, the answer is yes, categorically yes,” said Pieczenik, referring to Sunday’s claim that Bin Laden was killed at his compound in Pakistan, adding, “This whole scenario where you see a bunch of people sitting there looking at a screen and they look as if they’re intense, that’s nonsense,” referring to the images released by the White House which claim to show Biden, Obama and Hillary Clinton watching the operation to kill Bin Laden live on a television screen. “It’s a total make-up, make believe, we’re in an American theater of the absurd….why are we doing this again….nine years ago this man was already dead….why does the government repeatedly have to lie to the American people,” asked Pieczenik. “Osama Bin Laden was totally dead, so there’s no way they could have attacked or confronted or killed Osama Bin laden,” said Pieczenik, joking that the only way it could have happened was if special forces had attacked a mortuary. Pieczenik said that the decision to launch the hoax now was made because Obama had reached a low with plummeting approval ratings and the fact that the birther issue was blowing up in his face. “He had to prove that he was more than American….he had to be aggressive,” said Pieczenik, adding that the farce was also a way of isolating Pakistan as a retaliation for intense opposition to the Predator drone program, which has killed hundreds of Pakistanis. “This is orchestrated, I mean when you have people sitting around and watching a sitcom, basically the operations center of the White House, and you have a president coming out almost zombie-like telling you they just killed Osama Bin Laden who was already dead nine years ago,” said Pieczenik, calling the episode, “the greatest falsehood I’ve ever heard, I mean it was absurd.” Dismissing the government’s account of the assassination of Bin Laden as a “sick joke” on the American people, Pieczenik said, “They are so desperate to make Obama viable, to negate the fact that he may not have been born here, any questions about his background, any irregularities about his background, to make him look assertive….to re-elect this president so the American public can be duped once again.” Pieczenik’s assertion that Bin Laden died almost ten years ago is echoed by numerous intelligence professionals as well as heads of state across the world. Bin Laden, “Was used in the same way that 9/11 was used to mobilize the emotions and feelings of the American people in order to go to a war that had to be justified through a narrative that Bush junior created and Cheney created about the world of terrorism,” stated Pieczenik. During his interview with the Alex Jones Show yesterday, Pieczenik also asserted he was directly told by a prominent general that 9/11 was a stand down and a false flag operation, and that he is prepared to go to a grand jury to reveal the general’s name. “They ran the attacks,” said Pieczenik, naming Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Stephen Hadley, Elliott Abrams, and Condoleezza Rice amongst others as having been directly involved. “It was called a stand down, a false flag operation in order to mobilize the American public under false pretenses….it was told to me even by the general on the staff of Wolfowitz – I will go in front of a federal committee and swear on perjury who the name was of the individual so that we can break it open,” said Pieczenik, adding that he was “furious” and “knew it had happened”. “I taught stand down and false flag operations at the national war college, I’ve taught it with all my operatives so I knew exactly what was done to the American public,” he added. Pieczenik re-iterated that he was perfectly willing to reveal the name of the general who told him 9/11 was an inside job in a federal court, “so that we can unravel this thing legally, not with the ****** 9/11 Commission that was absurd.” Pieczenik explained that he was not a liberal, a conservative or a tea party member, merely an American who is deeply concerned about the direction in which his country is heading. http://www.prisonplanet.com/top-us-government-insider-bin-laden-died-in-2001-911-a-false-flag.html

Urban are you still there?

Looks like the best squad is actually Liverpools

Well done duqa. Sounds like she was a handful. A change of career might be in order (you seem to be enjoying it).
