^ valid point. there is also a cultural dimension to this renaissance.

^ yeah.......

is this a case of politically correctness gone too far? what's next from big Sil......affirmative action in the form of a quota?

seems like you've made two grave mistakes today, ma istidhi? LOOOOOOOOOL....... what a pathetic fool you are. leave now and never return to this thread. in fact, you're officially banned from posting any further comments on this thread. bloody sell out. far too many xabashi jaajus on this forum.

SomaliPhilosopher;917789 wrote: I've betrayed my people sxb. I left a Somali resturant to go to an Ethio one. Shame by far the strangest post i've ever seen. this is a troll and cantarbaqash thread..... its not a restaurant review thread. do i look like the spokesman for somali restaurants lobby group. why are you posting this nonsense? anyways, its a well-known fact that Ethiopian restuarants are better than bloody fadhi-ku-dirir somali restaurants infested by cockroaches. p.s which restaurant is this? where is it located? and how's the food? and what's the price for a small injera?

today i discovered this little gem of a thread. its like everyone seems to post here, ya? don't worry i won't pollute it with my cantarbaqash. *Blessed;905469 wrote: Malika lool.

being listening to the smooth songs of kooshin for the last two hours. this guy is awesome.

LOOL the picture means something entirely all together different for me. its represents being over-saturated with all that you've ever wanted. i know that rabbits love carrots as much as you love cakes but imagine if you're flooded with too much carrots or too many cakes for that matter? chances are that you might not like it after all. e.g. my friend was telling me of his love for bananas. one day he went to buy lots of bananas and by the 8th banana, he was a little stuffed and felt sick. that was the last day he had bananas LOOL. in fact, he's got a phobia of bananas now.....interesting. everything is good in moderation. and objects and indeed people have value in scarcity. too much circulation makes the value go down. i also realised the desire for carrots or cakes is not merely in consuming it until you've overfeed yourself but for the individual/rabbit to have control over it consumption. i've tried locating the mobile via bluetooth but its battery is probably dead. i've gonna try again maar dhow. i'm sure its in the house. i'm not too fussed about Valentines day to be honest. last year i bought my xamari gf a little present and she was a little disappointed by trying to serenading her with presents and stuff. she loved me regardless, you see. i realised this when she'd left. sad but life goes on. ;D i'm glad your here Juxa. thanks. as for being qof macquual ah......i'm not sure, i agree.......... i'm crazy and have multiply personality disorders. thanks for your positives comments on the other thread.

^ are you happy with you name? would you have preferred both your name and surnames being Somali? anyways most somali surnames are arabic too. unless, of course, yours is sharmarke, guleed or rooble, dualeh etc. i have a very traditional name and i'd much prefer if i had a normal name like everyone else. I feel the name that best compliments my personality is aidarus or one of those fancy and popular names like khalid, faisal, jamal etc. i feel my real name doesn't do me justice but considering its meaning and the reason behind it, i'm happy with it....... i feel forever cursed carrying this name and its causing me serious set backs in life. at least its a traditional, somali and unlike these foreign names. my surname is arabic and means knowledge, apparently. there are options available if ever you feel like a change. you can do a deed poll and get a new name.

LOL! i feel like i've made a new friend today. excellent. yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

NG, how much? noo sheeg dee! maxaad la xishonaysa? i resent that you think tm lewin is pretentious. its good quality stuff walahi. quality bro. what are you talking about? kulaha pretentious.....pretentious how? i always had this imagine you were one of those black city slickers corporate types who are well groomed (read GQ) and who read the FT on the tube with a stiff-upper lipped facial expression. i saw this old black guy (45-50 years) on the tube once and i wanted to become like him, you know? he exuded absolute confidence and was probably worth a fortune too....i mean the guy looked well....he had one of those ''i eat good food'' type faces. everything about him was just excellent. he probably thought i was a thug LOOL. raula;917719 wrote: Alpha ws bro.

Now I simply stick with M&S's Autograph. In fact, I have recently been tempted to buy ASDA's suits, only £29. (no need to waste more on a unifrom). LOOOL@expensive suits! ma adiga aaya expensive suits iibsada?..... you're the biggest cheapskate in the world. when you say expensive suits, how much are we talking about? >300GBP? i own only 5 suits. 3 are excellent and i use them for power dressing worthy occasions. i bought these from tm lewin. the other two are from burtons and BHS. M&S is not exactly cheap dee.

WS Raula, i don't think we're acquainted. pleased to meet you. my name is Alpha. how do you do?

ok.... mr-i'm-so-corporatcy:D i work alone and i've very suspicious marka whose got my back? btw, where do you buy your suits? are you the moss bros type or saville row bespoke type?

^^ NG, i've often struggled with delegating tasks. the art of delegating tasks is one of the keys to success. the few times i've practiced this art well i've found myself less stressed and more capable of concentrating my energies on more important things LOOL. how, then, do you reward those you delegate too? a mere thank you isn't gonna cut the cake, you know!

been working on Alpha's garden for the last 50mins. the beer is really coming along this month and i've planted 5 new plants since yesterday after going to the beerta xoriyada plant nursery to purchase some new plants. its become a full mashruuc but i'm very happy because of its therapeutic benefits.

i'm sorry i cant help. i hope you find what you're looking for Oba. i remember how you found that amazing xamarawi song for me once. thanks brov. good times indeed. maybe better times ahead?

^ what did you decide in the end? gone on finish off the work so you could spend your free time well tonight. prioritise NG.

does the WEST think they're the only ones capable of developing the nuclear bomb?
