  3. b!tch of a year, ha na dhaafto.
  4. Nuune, what made you go to their wedding when you are so unflattering about them? Somalis are prolific marriers(a word?) no matter their age or gender, what a lot of nonsense to say a woman becomes less desirable. When a man wants a woman, nothing stands in his way. It's too easy to speak generically about cut-off points etc.
  5. Good grief. Why would you want to propagate Somali tradition? They expect you to be igmorant of it so stay so; it'll save you being ripped off. Pay a meher and contribute to any celebratory-type event. Everything else is socially acceptable Somali on Somale abuse. Don't be had.
  6. G, in the spirit of Adan, war dadka la qabo. Blessed, Ngonge iyo Adanba waa in xaal la siiyo.

Subxanallah. Bitterness much? Want some of that attention for yourself, miyaa? The attention is on his one act. He was on radio; did he speak in Swahili? :rolleyes:
  8. Homeless man plunges into icy Thames to save woman from drowning... and his clothes get stolen A homeless man risked his life to stop a young woman drowning in the bitterly cold Thames at night — then had his clothes and tea flask stolen from the river bank where he had left them. Adan Abobaker, 37, told today of the dramatic rescue but shrugged off praise for his heroism, saying: “I only did what needed to be done.” The chef heard a passer-by screaming for help as he walked near Blackfriars Bridge on Tuesday night. “There was a woman about 20 feet away in the middle of the river,” he said. “I grabbed a life ring but it wouldn't reach so I took off my jacket and jumper, dived in and swam as fast as I could. “The current was really strong and I kept having to dive under. I swallowed a lot of water but I didn't really feel the cold because of the adrenaline. It took about two minutes to swim to her.” The woman, who had apparently thrown herself in, was distressed when he reached her after braving crowded boat lanes. He said: “I held her to my chest with one hand and used the other to swim back. It was a struggle.” The pair were plucked out by the crew of safety vessel Watchdog operated by Capital Pleasure Boats overseeing maintenance work on the bridge. Boatmen Kevin Murphy and Lee Smith, both first-aiders, kept them warm with silver blankets before they were transferred to a police boat and taken to Waterloo Pier lifeboat station. They were both treated at St Thomas' Hospital where Mr Abobaker, who was on the verge of hypothermia, had to be warmed for more than two hours with special piped air equipment. The unnamed woman — who is white, English and in her twenties, is believed to be back with her parents after two days of treatment for minor injuries. A couple walking on the riverbank after the rescue found some of Mr Abobaker's clothes — but thieves had stolen a jumper he was given as a present by his brother, his woolly hat, gloves and flask of tea. The water had also ruined his phone. Martin Garside of the Port of London Authority said: “Mr Abobaker deserves considerable praise for his selfless courage. The Thames is particularly unforgiving and harsh at this time of year and in darkness.” He also paid tribute to the “skill and professionalism” of the Watchdog crew. Mr Abobaker, originally from Kingston, is staying at St Mungo's hostel in Southwark after falling on hard times. Hostel manager Nick Wing said: “People can underestimate someone who is homeless. Adan reacted amazingly bravely and deserves great credit.” Witness Lucy Cuthew, 29, a books editor, said today: “I saw a sad-looking young woman jump into the Thames. This man appeared very quickly, took off his coat and jumper and dived straight in to save her. He was so brave.” But Mr Abobaker said: “I just did what needed to be done because someone needed my help. There was no one else there. All I cared about was getting to help and I knew I'd be safe because I've been swimming since I was a nipper. “I just hope she's got a family. Life is worth living, it's not worth giving up. source
  9. Waa part of the sol madness that the rule-maker changes his rules along the way and judges as he wishes LoL. Nuunena half his words are invisible jinni ones.
  10. Laab jeex iyo insomnia, though it's not really insomnia if you fell asleep on the couch earlier in the evening is it? Hurdo has its limits. Blah. Anyone awake?
  11. Originally posted by Mr. Somalia: quote:Originally posted by sheherazade: ^meel walba as far as I can tell. Adigu, i dhaaf. You will derail this already dodgy thread. Hey Scheherazade , you have nothing to worry about, as long as the screener giving the pat-down does not say, "now, its your turn to do me!" that would be uber icky. I almost always set their darn alarms off and have been woman-handled by many nationalities. Have been known to be taken into a room so they could check under my hijab too. I think she just wanted to smell my neck. Uff lool.
  12. ^mid bahal u eeg hadey meel ku la gasho you would be singing a different tune.

  14. Pat down. I like to know who's taking advantage.
  15. ^ma aragtay? Soon the budh will come out, and he will find himself in Qardho. Juxa, examkaagu timing xuma; doesn't it know it's Eid? Hope it goes well. Eid mubarak, ladies and men, gentle or not.
  16. that's the problem, Che, it's always somewhere else. I think you're going down the jimicsi route again, boys.
  17. it means I'm exhausted, bisinke. Can you remove the flag; there's only so much some of us can take. LoL.
  18. LooooL. I had to make sense today and managed it thankfully. Am shattered though. Che, London iyo gloomy waa walaalo iska hadhin. Uff.
  19. loooool. God help us. There's another JB out there.
  20. Mr Som, sii wad, you are easily tamed. poltergeist (Nuune ought to know) Che, like death warmed up lol.
