my dearest friends, the past six months have been the worst of my life, not being able to post is indeed a tragic and unquantifiable punishment, one I wouldn’t wish on even on likes of NG and IBZ. It was hard not being able to express ones opinions in a frank and sincere manner. All is well now! Let’s rejoice and celebrate!

Speaking of christmas presents, i believe my incredible comeback from the fringes of SOL and civilisation as we know it, is all your christmas's rolled into! Dont you love this time of year, so festive!

Originally posted by Xidigo*: ^^ What about all those who had gone before him, Originally posted by Xidigo*: ^^ Ma adaa inankii Marx jarka ka tuuray lol? (directed at LZG) Really Xidigo! Is that how you talk without my presence! You do realise I expect that type of behaviour from the likes of you! Since my absence from this forum, I realised that half the people in here have no vertebrae or posses any moral fibre, showing their contemptuous true colours time and again! MARX doesn’t need that! I am more refined and distilled! The transition is now complete! To those who kept true to form: LZG, AT&T, LX and Thierry, thanks ever so much! I am back mashallah!

You are proving to be a tough act. and no Lee sharpe wasnt that bad. Out of touch SOLers like yourself ridicule almost any attempt to make a change. Let me put you in the spot now! What do you suggest? what ideas are lingering in your head?

thats a classic!

''Its the events that usually turn out to be 'hello how and you doing', gatherings''. I agree with you on this, but if people are really interested, they would use this opportunity as chance to network. What really disappoints me is that nothing is ever achieved at these events. There needs to be consistency and a long term outlook. I think we need to device a directory where people can speak to those individuals who could help develop their ideas further.

^^^ Its a collective effort sxb! standing on the sidelines and hurling abuse at those trying to make a difference is not effective but counter-productive. If all people become apathetic then what chance do we have in making a difference. Why not take the initiative and getting the ball-rolling.

NG, It was her! thats for sure matey. She is a pleasant and well-mannered person in real life. Not a cyber-terrorist.

Sxb! cut the cynicism, alot was achieved yesterday. Even though i wasnt spewing my usual tirades of self-opinionated bile, alot of postive things were proposed. I was particualy impressed by the recognition afforded to us by DFID. the very fact that a British ministry is willing listen to us is a cause for celebrations. Dont give up! Remember SOLers: The worst form of anger is apathy.

where were you hiding adigu? To be honest the event went on for much longer than it should have. some retards kept asking the same questions over and over again. It was really boring. I almost fell asleep. I wasnt paying attention to DFID stance on somali politics? they support the TFG?

YES indeed IBZ! We spoke for quite a while actually. Amazing conversationist, contrary to popular perceptions. The event was very productive. There was a group of consultants from DFID (Dept. of International Development) looking to consult British Somalis on aid to Somalia. So many active and successful Somali people there. Mashallah.

I met the wonderful CL yesterday. What a woman! I can tell you this, there is not an atom of cynicism in her. A wonderful human being, we can learn so much from. Mashallah!

No! why?.

words kulaha - that tantamounts to a threat! if you got something to say! say it man?

^^ well thats you out of the picture! old prunes need not apply!

Your a flop!

IBZ, Who is your friend that wants to meet me eh? I hope its not you in real life!

not bad! count me in! its not about the money, its all about making a difference! lol

*Blessed You aint getting no apology from me. After what you did, you expect me to apology? come of it!. Your lucky I didnt tell the SOL audience the full story. I wanted to protect your sharaf! dont make me divulge the full story in all its gory details! IBZ Dont come near me! I will have you done for assult and I aint kidding!

anyways after your great disappointment at the event at SOAS last week, I hope I dont see you at SOAS tomorrow. There is a young Somali Leadership conference. If you're lucky and brave enough to tap on me on the shoulder I might write you a special story too about our encounter!

You must feel really shiid right now! go and wash the embrassment of your face!

Originally posted by Ibtisam: You really think she came all the way from Dubia, left her family just to walk up to you in a kids/ Ciyaal suuq party. :rolleyes: Don't you know Blessed is lights years beyond ciyaal xaafad parties in London? Now stop dragging her good name around with such associations. :mad: You make a lousy detective, why would blessed even talk to you, she is the originally Londoner long before you arrived from Mali, why would she sound American?? What kind of silly sources told you such info. P.s. Bilaa Xishood baad taahy, old lady, young, married, unmarried, waax kaasta miyiaad iska qaabqabsan? Shiiiiid. P.s.s. Don't start crying now, I'm just in a bad mood and the truth is not sugar coated today. FYI- IBZ This was a family wedding, I believe myself and the woman in question are of the same tribe - since we were both representing the groom. A few months ago I would have probably shouted until I made you scream but thats the MARX of yester years. Lets be civil IBZ. I dont do parties esp Ciyaal suuq party. Dont assume! I used a lot of metaphors in the narrative of the story - this must have confused you IBZ!

According to reliable sources, I gathered enough information to believe that the lady in question was *blessed! With *blessed denying these allegations? have i being led astray?

Valentinah, The lady in question was blessed! Although others claim otherwise. NG Just because people like to qarix me at any given opportunity, I wont resort to their tactics. Stoic Dahir lucky is a legend sxb! He is a somali musical sensation. I am his biggest fan!
