The government should allow these guys to have their picnic. It should also change the law so that there is no punishment for eating openly in public during Ramadan. No policeman should be near when these guys tuck into their picnic and when the angry mob tucks into them.

^^ These are not Jacaylbaro's products warya. Although he did tell me about his Somali caday idea and I thought it was great. He wants to mass produce these: With the words National Debt written across them. The more you use them, the less the debt. I think it's a great idea and we can hoodwink many a geeljire with it. Clean teeth, less debt. Ya salaam. Ya salaam. Ya salaam.

"I know" said Barwaqo, "why don't we visit Zaynab? She just arrived from Dubai and she is bound to have loads of new Diracs". Amal was not too sure about this idea. She was not on the best of terms with Zaynab and she also felt guilty about visiting her only to sniff out some Dirac instead of it being a customary welcoming visit. Yasmeen, as always, was lost in her own thoughts. Barwaqo insisted that there was nothing wrong with visiting Zaynab. "You are being paranoid, Amal. Zaynab would not even notice that we came for Diracs. We'll just slip the question in the middle of the conversation and then beg to buy some of the good Diracs off her when she shows them to us. She'll think it was innocently done". But Amal was still reluctant to go on with the idea. "Let us carry on looking first. You never know, we may just find what we're looking for" she said without much conviction. The ladies carried on walking and looking without finding a single item that caught their fancy. Every time they stumbled upon a nice dress they found it had some sort of irreparable fault. Some dresses were long and modest but had a gaping slit right down the middle. Some dresses looked perfect but were the wrong colour. Some had the right design but were several sizes too small. Some were too tight, others too frilly but most of the dresses were just wrong for this occasion. Barwaqo and Amal were growing frustrated. They needed to get three outfits but so far and after four hours of shopping, all they had were some random accessories, one pair of shoes and an empty bag of doughnuts that Barwaqo had wolfed down earlier. "I can't feel my legs any more" said the bouncy castle "I can't feel mine either" joined Amal "My legs are fine" mumbled Yasmeen. "If we were in the Middle East or Asia, we wouldn't need to look this long for a couple of poxy dresses" protested Amal. "If we were in the Middle East, we'll only need a silky Abaayah anyway" sneered Barwaqo. "If we were in the Middle East, we'll probably need a muharm to take us shopping" added Yasmeen. The other two looked at her and started laughing at the randomness of her statement. They stood on either side of her, locked their arms into hers and happily walked towards the train station. Zaynab was going to be their next destination. However, on the train and as Yasmeen finally had a moment of clarity whilst listening to the complaints of the other two, she innocently suggested they continue their search on the Internet. "Buying dresses online is a waste of time" said Barwaqo. "The colours and the fabrics are never as good as they look on the screen" joined Amal. "I bought an outfit online once and it was great. Dress, scarf and other accessories all from the same place" said Yasmeen. "Yes but it probably was not for something as important as a wedding" replied Barwaqo "True" said Amal. "It actually was" nodded Yasmeen knowingly. "Stroke of luck" mocked Barwaqo "A one-off" added Amal. "It was actually a specialised Somali site" said Yasmeen. "I almost bought more than one outfit. They sell great things". "REALLY?" asked a hopeful Amal. "You never were one for fashion" said Barwaqo. "Leave her alone" warned Amal "Where is this site?" she asked. "I have the link on my computer at home. Shall we go there and take a look at what they have?" replied Yasmeen. "What's the point? The wedding is next week. They'll never deliver on time" said Barwaqo. "They deliver within four days and since they are based in London and they provide a phone number on their site, I am sure we can ask them about the possibility of an express delivery" said the rapidly impressive Yasmeen. "Why didn't you tell us about this site before we had to madly walk around town for the past four hours" asked an irritated Barwaqo. "I thought you already knew about it, everyone does" replied Yasmeen. "Oh this is fantastic" purred Amal. The ladies got to Yasmeen's house and ran to her bedroom without greeting any of her family. They sat around her computer and eagerly viewed all the items on that mysterious site. Within half an hour, Amal had ordered three dresses, four scarves and a couple of hand bags. Barwaqo managed to find two outfits in her size and Yasmeen bought her self a lovely blue evening dress. The following week, all three ladies went to the wedding and all looked great, even Barwaqo who whilst still looking like a bouncy castle, the addition of these fashionable outfits made look like a stylish bouncy castle. Samira, wearing a dull pink dirac that was no match to what Amal was wearing, came smiling and declared her acceptance of total defeat by enquiring about these outfits and asking where these ladies got them from. "What, these simple outfits?" asked Amal tartly, " Normode , darling, Normode ". [Fade out] [blank screen] [Wrong choice of music starts playing] [universal TV advert kicks in] Ya Salaaam. Ya Salaam.

MZanzi, maya lakin dee foolxumo ha odhan dee, i may cajabin iska dheh (because I bet A&T thinks she is the prettiest woman alive; I think she's average).

^^ Allah og (iyo kuwa south africa jooga).

These Somalilanders, they all look the same to me.

^^ South Africa miya lago afuray, saaxib?

Never saw Ayaan wearing one of these on her head.

^^ If only you knew.

Looks like the manager does not like him. He was not injured but still was not even in the squad! Babel is crap, saaxib. At least Torres ALWAYs scores (he looked sharp last night, City must be worried). The Serbian guy looks good.

Shay on fi nafsi yacqoob ayaa la yedhi.

^^ Babel scored a good goal but for 44 minutes before that, he was total crap. The callers on the LFC TV were all having a go at him. The new guys all look good (apart from Cole). For some reason, I can't warm to Roy Hodgson. He comes across as a fake, saaxib.

Originally posted by Voltaire: quote:Originally posted by chocolate & honey: The only person who said anything worhty responding to is Xiin. The author needs to examine his sources and read the history of securalism before he babbles on. Opening with the Iranian lady's plight would have been a nice if he was writing a novel. But when approaching heavy-handed issue such as this, one needs to be armed with knowledge and studies rather than a heart wrenching tale of a woman. You accused the author of employing 'a heart wrenching tale of a woman' and then agreed with a post that started with 'a friend of mine told me' and proceeded to employ the tale of Mosque construction that happens to have never been disallowed? How fair and convenient! C&H, V there is talking about you agreeing with Xiin even though Xiin had his own "heart wrenching" tale to tell. Prom, Someone once compared ideas to clothes, the better presented the better accepted (or at least tolerated). Your friend here got nothing on but a loin cloth (and even that got holes in it). Anyway, done this before on the thread below. http://www.somaliaonline.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?/topic/8/828

Someone accidently gave my work number to some irate Dahar residents (or so they claim) and I have been recieving calls complaining about this story. I'm tempted to record them all and put them on Youtube.

Ramadan Kareem, Marx. I know you are reading.

Tuujiye has been in qurbaha for more than twenty years and he still has not learned about the trouble one gets into if he buys strange kids doughnuts and ice cream.

^^ Can't be Horn, saaxib. Anyway, I think there is a section on SOL's Golden Rules that mentions something about the danger of writing Maxamad Siyad Barre three times on the same thread. Horn ayaa kuu so baxaya baa la yedhi.

^^ Honestly, it is not what you think (though that is funny too ). I am actually laughing at the casual way Abu Salman tells us of his phone calls (he was called by the way, remember).

^^

^^ The article was nonesense, what more could I possibly say that will convey that message? As for Thankful, he knows what I'm talking about. He has been using that excuse on too many previous threads. Wax fahan dee.

^^ What part of "I agree it's a nonesense article" did you not understand, saaxib?

Originally posted by Thankful: The radical diaspora can write as many articles as they want but the Puntland government has Atam recorded talking about a terrorist organization, as well they produce pictures of them freely roaming his former base, deep in western bari. The articles you and Dhaharonline write, cannot match concrete evidence like this! I agree on it being a nonesense article that burdens Ilka Jirr with a responsibility he was not appointed for. The man is the interior minster for PL not his clan. To expect him to favour his clan and lookout for their interests cancels out the whole point of his role (and of PL). However, you yourself are talking nonesense in reply when you use the diaspora argument, saaxib. Correct me if I am wrong but are you not a diaspora Puntlander? Was Faroole not one himself? What makes your (and his) opinion more valid than someone hailing from "Maakhir"? To use the diaspora excuse discredits your own position, saaxib. Everyone that is everyone is from the diaspora these days. War even Sheikh Sharif is trying hard to become one.
