  1. ^^^I read that story on taht book "From my sisters lips". That was a normal relationship, even if these too convert together waa problamatic. It is a life style, he is more women than some ladies. Well since I posted this thread, I've found out that he is also reading the bible, something on Buddha and Judaism. He’s apparently trying to find all the good things in each one. I need to find an easy read on Islam to give to him, to throw Islam in the mix. JB maa A&T ayaad igu xuuxin :eek: Sheh I need your help with the business reasearch thingy. Are you free tomorrow?
  2. ^^^so the last option Or should I just leave it and answer his questions when he asks, after all he has not asked me for a book or explanation. Lol Beelayo iyo love story adiguna
  3. ^^^Did you not read the rest of the story!! HE has already got one and one for his boyfriend. Nunne you want me to take him and his boyfriend out :eek: miyaad igu ciiyaar, I'm already tried of hearing about his boyfriend, now you want me to entertain them. That would be them giving me dacwa. II No that one is a different hospital all together, lol JB, why what is A&T going to do?
  4. LOOOL Nuune last time I saw Ngonge, there was no hair to speak off, it was complete bidaar. It was winter, so I don't think it was clean shaved. You are growing you hair Ngonge, you mean you are wearing a "tobi" Lool @ here is the place to over come those problems! LOL
  5. ^^^No Mohammed is a fellow receptionist. What does go with the flow mean Ngonge, I gave three options, which one?? JB, it is not a story you silly, waa iga daab, I'm stuck.
  6. Our receptionist is a little gay Portuguese man, I just say hello, thank you, is the next patient here, send this or that or type this, your usual work related staff. Then one day he said he loves my Cabay and could I get him one, he will pay me. I told him this one was for ladies. Him: Yes but I have seen men wear beautiful similar one Me: Oh you like it? Him: Yes, it is quite lovely, I want one to wear at home, my boyfriend wants one too. It looks really comfortable. Where could I get one? Me: Erm at the mosque, (I direct him to baker street) Him: Can you get me one? I will give you the money. Me: I will try I did not feel comfortable getting him one, I don’t really know why, maybe because I felt he was misusing the damn thing. So I conveniently forgot about it. Then a while later after he off for a week, he came back to work. Him: Oh Ibti guess what? Me and my boyfriend went to Tunisia, it was lovely, everyone was fasting so everything was closed for the whole day and opened in the evenings, it was good, we did shopping…. Yad yad yad. I got the dresses, yeah I got beautiful black one and my boyfriend got one with designs. Me: Why would you wear it? Him: I really like it, if fact I would wear it outside but I’m scared, you know bad people will shout at me and beat me up. But I think it is beautiful, maybe in the summer I’ll be brave enough to wear it to the park. Me: Hmm This conversation happened during Ramadan. Then today he came in to bring me my post. Him: Hello Ibti, here is your post. Me: Thanks I muttered, trying to find something at my desk, Him: How was your weekend? Me: Good, and yours Him: Yeah it was good. I look up, he is still standing there, Me: Hmmm Him: Ibti can I ask you a question Me: Yeah sure. Him: Why do you put the rag down when you pray (He’s walked into my office a few times while I was praying and the two other Muslims in my building use my office to pray) Me: Because the floor is dirty as people walk on it and we have to pray on clean surface Him: Oh okay, makes sense, why do you face south East? Me: Well it depends on where you are and what direction Mecca is. (He looked a bit confused,) so I said Mecca is in Saudi Arabia, the black dome, all Muslims pray towards it. Him: Oh yes, yes, I understand. Him: I’ve been learning how to pray (he demonstrates, saying Allahu Akbar) Me: Oh okay Him: So in total how many times do I say Allahu Akbar (He demonstrates again, but he conjoins the adan and the Allahu Akbar’s within the Rakah’s) Me: Aah one is the call to prayer and ends here (I demonstrate the Athan) and then the prayer you say Allah Akbar each time you change posture. Him: I’m learning what to say in between the Allah Akbar’s but I’m finding it a bit hard, but I will know it in a few weeks. Me: Okay Fantastic Him: I’m always asking Mohammed questions. [ He opens his mouth to say something else and then my phone starts ringing, he smiles and waves and goes out] Also recently he's been saying the Salam now and again when I come in. Anyway I’m thinking I should give him the Quran to read, the only reason I’ve not done it a long time ago is probably because he is “off the gay” [as Russell peters would say] I know if he was not I would’ve given him a copy long time ago But my own prejudice made me feel uncomfortable about giving him a copy, who knows Allah can guide him. Or should I give him a little book, a introduction to Islam. Or should I just leave it and answer his questions when he asks, after all he has not asked me for a book or explanation.
  7. ^^^That Guy looks like him a little you know, for a second I thought you used his pitcure! :eek:
  8. Today I'm mash up, I should be at home in bed, and I have tons of work to do, which I don't want to and the weather outside is just beyond mashallah with rain iyo wind. But aside from that Alhumdulilah Buuxo. How is the heat weave? SS I don't know what kind of reaction you mean dear sis, explain. I get an adrenaline rush when I watch horror or action movies. Then I say it was a really good movie Otherwise it is like watching an episode of friends and chuckling a little. I’ve one of those two reactions. Baal please nooga sheeki the ones you have?
  9. ^^I already offered to be his editor in order to get his lazy self in gear, but he told me "stuff iyo waax kaale" Ngonge I'm show up outside your house with a SOLers petition and a poster
  10. The death toll from fires in southern Australia has reached at least 108, the worst in the country's history. Thousands of firefighters, aided by the army, are battling several major bush fires, and the number of dead is expected to rise as fires are put out. Arsonists responsible for lighting the fires could be charged with murder, police have said. Entire towns in Victoria state were destroyed as fires were fanned by extreme temperatures and wind. Temperatures are dropping now, but officials fear they will not be able to get the fires under control until there is substantial rain. "We could still have a lot worse," said Sharon Smee of Victoria's Country Fire Authority. "There's still hot spots out there and there's a lot of people who are really exhausted and tired." 'Absolutely horrific' Firefighters have been battling against what are described as the worst conditions in Victoria's history. BBC Wonder if any somalis live in these areas
  11. This was last weekend, I remember watching it, when he started sprinting from 4laps to go, I though oh shid. The british record is slow compared to the world record. Gebreselasie (sp?)still holds his record from 1997 7mins 20sec. He is going to still struggle when he meets the Africans again. That is always his problem, he does well in Europe. If he keeps improving, in few years he'll be right up there. I'm so excited for him. We'll see how he does in the European Indoor Championships in March inshallah. It'll also be cool to see if chambers can beat that little white kid.
  12. LOL @ hadaysan guursan oo guurin wa mesheeda. Aaliya I'm sorry to have to break it to you like this but you are 2years behind. ShyRose Lol, I'm the UK
  13. ShyRose, Aaliya shows love to everyone. Did you think it was only you oh you did HAHA lol. Okay, I will leave you to your erm showing love thread. Salamah
  14. Waad salamantah too, right back at you. As for your wedding: hhmmm I don't want you to have second thoughts dee!!! lol I kid dear. IT is too far for me to plan that far ahead. If you have it in Hargisa I'm coming, America not too sure, they won't let me in anyway
  15. AAAliya, for your safety, I don't think you should meet this shyRose, she is errm what is the word... wait** What the hell does FIddy fiddy that bad boy mean hoorta?
  16. Lool, this thread is crazy, everyone is so angry. At the end of the day warlords baad iisugu faanisan. I mean really :rolleyes:
  17. ^^^^Don't mind these kids, attention seeking, haadaal uun kaa soo qaad, cantrabaqash as it were Name calling iyo qax qax is a sign of desperation. Haye as you were, what did shan ka roon do today. :
  18. LOOL @ window shop and not trying it on. LOL C&H, relationships in Somali context is just a few chats here and there with someone for marriage discussion. Traditionally Somali girls do not term it cheating if they chat with more than one guy at a time. In fact waa luugu faani jiirey that she chats to 1000s and marries only one I don't know if it can be classed as cheating since the guys tent to know she is talking to 10 others! lol
  19. ^^^Yeah take a picture and get the same one made for less than £100. Or not shopping for a year... I guess
  20. ^^^ A dress for £400, that is a lot of money. I don't think I ever paid more than £70 for one item, apart from a plane ticket to back home for £350. A dress for £400, you better live in it, wash in it, sleep in it for a year or something, or is it too nice to wear at all, keep it framed in your bed room. LOOOOL Lily, they are correct, strange girl, laughing out loud on her own all day
  21. Geel Jire, I want to learn to hold my ground in front of Somali men. Practise makes it perfect, I'm in training mode, learning to kick a*ss
  22. Hey Cara, you frozen yet?? Ngonge and CL took an early V-day break for this weekend, beating the rush next weekend and all *waves at Geeljire*
  23. ^^^LOOOL HAHAHA^^ Thanks dear, she nearly gave me a heart attack. SS, lol I don't know what you will term as an "erotic scene" but no I don't get off on fleeing moments in movies, it is gone in seconds. I guess it depends on how involved you get in the movie, chick flicks are not like actions films, so you cannot get so engrossed into it.
  24. ^^^I don't agree that he is good for only a cheap laugh, there is more to him than that, but being on opposit ends, neither of you has a good view of the other. As for his blind faith in the sharif, although I do agree it is blind faith, at the same time there are worse things that one can support in here. If nothing else we owe each other respectable responses, even to our absurd ideas, failing that tolerance.
