  1. Loool! Yes you do call, I am on the 3 monthly rota call- WHICH I know is often and top priority for a lady who never calls anyone. But Im just saying texting is hip- I was walking in the middle of hargeisa and she pops up!
  2. Tell him bosskiisa soo diir. That NGO has something going on with the eyes, miid kuu jiida, miid indha kala riida, miid who refuses to look at you, headed by an old guy who wont stop pacing around maba faaidsan karo. Lool Ururikii nimaanka yaara maqaan Btw Lily txts me- why have you not figured out how to text me yet?
  3. Loool NGonge. OF course. I am the scary one of the two of us. She looks far too friendly and nice. Aniga people automatically think I am going to smack them.
  4. Juxa is it that nice man from North London charity? The one who for some reason was terrified of me when we met him for the Somalia appeal? If so I can sort him for ya SalamAlikum all
  5. NGonge I wanted to live like normal average people here- since it is summer- average is now changing- all the dhaqan celis people are here- some even brought their fishing equipment North I dont like strangers in my house!
  6. Abu- it is not great at all- cleaning and cook took me 7am-12pm- If I had all the right thing it would've taken me 2hrs max. It is impossible to have the luxury (muscles, strong back and time) required to do it the traditional way with a full time job! I need all of my every day things to save me time and pain!
  7. No with Duuxul- it would have been faster with sticks! lol got a small gas cooker now- been reading the manual about setting up- if you dont hear from me- I blew up the house and me with it! lol
  8. I can't believe it is half a year so far- 1- Make an effort with people in Somaliland and be nice- Fail 2- Work less and play more- Fail 3- Finish planning my move to South East Asia- somewhat although dates fuzzy 4- Make some investments and saving for my move- Somewhat 5- Decide about my phd- pushing back 6- Submit one chapter of my book to publisher- fail- need to write it first! Yiiiks
  9. Evening all. Im tired mantaa- sitting in bed with Imported from London Chocolates and film, with a pile of paperwork I am pretending to read. I have muscles growing in places I didnt know existed- did some housework yesterday and today I can't move- that suicidal bending at the waist and hand-standing mobbing is not for normal people- after mobbing 7 rooms and lots of other places I was ready to collapse- then it took me 30mins to get a decent fire going to cook. So today I went shopping and brought all the things normal people use! lol
  10. Somalis spread like the Jews- now if only we could be as effective as the Jewish communities who have risen to the top of each and every country they settled in. Suldaanka- about the Somali Indians in Hyderabad- you might be on to something- in all of my travels across India, it was the only place I was welcomed and treated nicely- but then again they might just be the nicer people! lol The Indian Jews are doing really well, in a country of many Gods, one more does not make a difference- most of the Hindu worship places have the star of David in the symbols.
  11. taleexi- why dont you have any camels? IF my Bangladesh kusband can find token camels to give- every farah SHOULD and MUST have camels. If you dont your are worthless to a Somali women. It is akin to a Somali women refusing to have kids, ever!? that is how serious the camel issue is- in the northern areas Only.
  12. Anyone saying "naaya" should be stone and then burned to death. P.s. That is nor a romantic life in any culture- call the police on your couple Juxa I didnt say I wanted it!? I said I would deem it romantic in the Somali sense, Although if I wanted to stall for time- it would be the perfect way, getting all those camels, horses and guns in order takes time-
  13. Godlataa? Wtf- what is she a goat or a she camel? The old if he dont beat me, he dont love me tale was a joke Nuune- ruun haa moodiin. The camels have now been replaced by Gold grams- simply because people like Gold, easy to store, cash in, affordable and less like being sold in a market etc. So you ask for 900gm of Gold, which is like $50,000- now that is under valued considering 200 camels are worth $150,000 and they must be brought up front. What I dont understand is- if our grandfathers could do it- it should be possible now. I went all over the land of the unromantic men of this thread- each family has a max of 50-100 camels- that means who one of them marries- to get 200 will be dac iyo boob and help- I dont find any of those characteristics desirable- it is similar to some robbing a bank for your wedding-however at least he is trying- Somalis sometimes confuse tuugnimo with farridnimo. As for the horses- the said community are no longer big on the horses- aside from in Nugaal harldy saw any- I was trying to be realistic dee
  14. Juxa Sorry movie marathon yesterday- saw your miss calls late- will call you in a bit. My rant today is about teeth- Eeeew I hate people with bad mouth, I cant talk to people with bad teeth, with things sticking out, black, green, double rows of teeth- I just can't- that is my one superficial thing- the only think I agree with Americans about- The success of any relationship (business, friends, family) hinges on good clean teeth!
  15. Looooool. I laugh generally at the notion of Somali men and romantic in the same sentence. Somali culture dictates that romance exists in songs and poems only and even in songs and poems it is those heart broken rejected songs with graphic details of veins popping, heart stopping, lungs burning and giving up on life- How depressing- which really is more obsession than love. Somali love is expressed through sacrifices; Asking Somali men for romance should be banned- if a farax ever turned up at my house with flowers and chocolates or got down on one knee to propose I would probably throw up on him and then beat him with my dacas- superficial, culturally assimilating freak. I would, however deem 200 camels, 2 horses (stolen if he does not own it), and a gun- a romantic gesture in the Somali sense- particularly from the said unromantic men of this thread. In case you missed the gist of my point- Romantic based on what notion and what culture?
  16. ^^^Loool wax walaan. I have Galaxy S4 and it is such a beautiful phone, easy to use, beautiful pictures, light, fast, and most of all simple, allows you to control how simple you want ur usage to be or how busy. I would highly recommend it.
  17. Norf Eat more? I've never been on a Diet- I eat none stop! Lily hey!!!!
  18. Is it a bank or a Xawal? IF a bank who is it regulated by and who guarantees my monies? I recongise two former Londoners in the pictures I wonder if they have shares or customers. hmmm I hate the bathroom look on buildings which seems to be the new trend these last 6 months- please let it pass!
  19. SalamAlium people! Wohooooo I am alive, praise the lord! How is everyone?
  20. Howdy- this place is dead without my friend. Such long week
  21. Somali evidence is normally just repeated asking and beating someone one up until they plead guilty! No other evidence, forensic or otherwise is collected. Therefore until we have the capacity to carry out a just investigation- it is premature and probably makes things worse! RIP for all the dead!
  22. I hope to God, he does not join Somaliland! it will just proof he was always self serving interest and after power, like most of these pro Somalia people. I also think Somaliland should stop accepting all the failures from the south (likewise Somalia should stop accepting failures from the north) We need to weed these people out all together! Iiishee calakey Somali Politics is like a school yard environment!
  23. Loool- it is good time now- you can find a seat on the tube now rather than rush hour! or sleep in the office and leave work early tomorrow- I have been known to work all night and head out as everyone else is coming in so yes I do believe you!
  24. You mean the afternoon? or tomorrow? Take tomorrow off and have a long weekend, and leave early today! What is there to think about- life is too short.
  25. salamAlikum and good day all. How are you and what is new?
