Abyan Posted February 2, 2009 The snow is melting? What are you guys on about. It is still snowing from my place. And my gas run out. Guriga iyo banaanka , gurigii aa qaboow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valenteenah. Posted February 2, 2009 This sucks, I took the wrong day off! I didn't have to waste my leave, wiy oo wiy. There aren't one set of tyre tracks on my road and only one set of footprints - I don't think anyone bothered going in. Then again, everything is suspended at our end, including buses. Oh well, let's hope its the same tomorrow! CL- How much fun is building a snowman? This is the first time I've ever done it (there's usually not enough snow).

-Serenity- Posted February 2, 2009 My little body is in shock. I was sun-bathing this time yesterday and now I can barely walk around the house without two layers of clothes. The journey here was a nightmare, the plane got directed to a different airport (Luton) and since lots of flights got diverted there, they mixed up all the luggage. It was a total joke. And then getting a cab that was slower than slow to get home meant I got home early this morning. All this re-affirms my beleif that I simply shouldnt be living here.

NGONGE Posted February 2, 2009 Welcome back, Serenity. How bronze do you look now? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valenteenah. Posted February 2, 2009 Lol. Serenity, I don't think you can complain when you've had at least a week of hot sunshine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Serenity- Posted February 2, 2009 Quite bronze. My mother says all the tanning makes me look healthier Val, I can complain because the welcome back was a bit chilly (altho I'm grateful for the semi-day off - working from home ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted February 2, 2009 ^^ Do you recommend the place by the way? Val, go build yourself the biggest snowman you can then run into the house and drag the entire family out. Show them the fruit of your labours and say that you want to marry him. I expect the only objection they'll have will be that woxo waa nin cad....

-Serenity- Posted February 2, 2009 NG - Totally loved it. Did lots of adventurous stuff, best being diving and snorkeling. Although I had a panic attack when I first tried both and almost bailed out. LOL. Pretty pricey though, since the pound is on a downward spiral and the place is very touristy. The only thing I didnt like was how there was no such thing as a 'set price' for anything and you couldnt shake off the feeling that you were being ripped off every step of the way. We probably were since me and my cousin are the lamest hagglers on the planet . Oh... they have some very good looking (and really friendly) people. Would definitely go back someday - maybe some other part tho. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valenteenah. Posted February 2, 2009 I already have, NG. Except for the marrying part. What does a snowman have to offer me? Glad you enjoyed yourself, Ser. Exactly what you needed, huh? PS: Just out of academic interest, how good-looking were the natives? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted February 2, 2009 ^^ The way you're acting, I hope it's the cold shoulder. Serenity, glad you enjoyed it. Of course this means you're too broke to join me in my upcoming visit to H town. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valenteenah. Posted February 2, 2009 NG, I think you might be too broke to join yourself in H-Town. I'll believe it when JB verifies that you have in fact landed at the airport and posts the pictures. Serenity, well, who knew, ey? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faheema. Posted February 2, 2009 Honestly people...all this 'cos of a bit of snow Ibti, I feel for those in hopspitals, poor patients don't have anyone to feed them and half of the consultants are not in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Serenity- Posted February 2, 2009 Its not the snow per se II, its the fact that we are ill-equipped for it as a nation. No buses, trains or other means of transport, so no moving. I dont have any boots to help me trawl through the 6inches of slippery lush either. So the problem is, we are stuck at home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted February 2, 2009 Our err, erm, eeeen, Middle Eastern director has decided that people who did not turn up today will have to forfit a day's holiday. His argument was "I made it in, so why can't others?" Of course, he only lives a couple of blocks away from the office. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
