Not at all.

Certainly, but I'm not sure what a deranged Somali could do with photographs of a different time and place. Alpha is too far away to do anything anyway.

Alright SP, I will be waiting for the audio book so don't let me down

I will start working on my platform immediately, but restricting curtains to windows is certainly high on the national agenda.

Ja.

Zus! I posted my baby pics from Meppel the other day

Then Oba will do his Yeey impersonation again It would be really fun to hear everyone's spoken voice, knowing we all have different ways of speaking not only Somali, but English It should be a standard few sentences everyone reads so the differences can be heard easily, I think.

That's Dutch SP :mad:

It was just small talk in the airport lounge, and I was curious about why he was going to Montreal.

Not quite... I met the head of Somaliland aviation at Berbera airport last summer who was also on his way to Canada, but for an aviation conference where he was part of a committee representing Somalia. Somalia has full sovereignty over its airspace, and at the moment that includes Somaliland. You are the one who is lacking neutrality Alpha, nuune is reporting the facts.

Why not Alpha? It's important dee.

Haatu;949312 wrote: Safferz, it bothers you because you're from the neo-intelligentsia cultured masses I can't even leave the country without someone giving me new curtains.

Saalax is HY, and I would be more generous and give Haatu a B+ for effort because of the sheer amount of work and observational skills required to make these guesses, although he failed overall

I will never reveal it

This is slightly off topic but can someone explain to me why, as a people, we like curtains so much? Curtains as doors, wall-to-wall curtains, curtains on walls that have no windows, etc lol. And why does this bother me? Otherwise, cute photos

I will take a divergent view and suggest you embrace your qurba joog identifiable Somali, which will get you much further with Somalia's elite and aspiring elite, particularly the ladies in their delusions of diasporic barwaaqo. I was averaging a marriage proposal a week the last time I was in Hargeisa

I'm getting sucked in to SOL and screaming goat videos on YouTube again, so no more posts from me until I send off this paper. Beace

SomaliPhilosopher;949170 wrote: The story of SP and Safferz's mother Edo was indeed a progressive woman. The type with gaze a gazelle would give to a zebra. I first came across her as a shoe shiner in xamar when she approached me for a shine. Her shoes were as clean as a living room the night before a nikah. I didn't take too well with her at first. I felt as if she was taunting me. Never have I shined shoes as clean as hers. And never has her shoes been dirtied by hands as dirty as mine. You see, you cannot pour milk into a full vessel. When you try you end up losing more than what you started with.... Edo took notice in my frustration of this riddle brought upon me. I noticed her smile dissolved into a smirk rooted in solace seeded by my struggle. I hand her back the shoes and she hands me a shilling with the face of a white man... little did I know I will end up in Hargeisa again and this would be only the beginning of my journey with edo. To be continued... :D
