NGONGE Posted March 14, 2008 ^^ I don't know ANY females that speak the gibberish lingo. Well, not these days anyway. So, no, I don't think I know CL. It was another lady that told me this story. A cousin of a cousin of a cousin of someone you know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ibtisam Posted March 14, 2008 ^^Coool, have fun. Ngonge: I know him, he use to come around, We went to his funeral, and his dad was there, his mum use to send tapes from Somali to us and he use to come and collect it. Did not really know many Somali's from what I remember. Everyone was saying that his GP hide the diagnosis from him until it was too late for treatment. Allah haa uu naaxaristo. but if that is the case they should take him to court, damn him Did he leave kids behind, I remember we went back home to marry.

NGONGE Posted March 14, 2008 ^^ No idea. I lost touch with him years ago. I think he's been in EVERY house in North and East London. Last time I saw him he was making progress in West London. He was indeed a very sociable guy. CL, la tewiswis, mpenzi wangu. I said don't know any women that speak your lingo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted March 14, 2008 Maskiin. May Allah have mercy on him and his soul rest. There days I have been meeting a lot of people with some form of cancer or another. In the last year within my own family there has been three cases. What is going on with these disease that never use to affect our community before, or is it that people are now diagnoses and aware of what they are suffering from?

NGONGE Posted March 14, 2008 ^^ Heh. You're a typical old Somali woman, silly. Stoic is not a doctor yet and even when he finally becomes one he'll only work with teeth. You're as bad as the ones that keep asking me about the exchange rate and morgtages. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted March 14, 2008 ^^^How so, I know too many and it has given me nothing but grieve. Ngonge: I was not asking him as doctor, I was asking him if he noticed the same trend. :rolleyes: I thought you was an accountant?? :confused: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ibtisam Posted March 14, 2008 ^^^I'm not worried for myself, rather as I said, that it has emerged in my family within the last 6months and I'm still trying to cope with it, part of that is understanding its trends. something that was alien to us, has suddenly become a major topic in our household. I’m just wondering out loud…don’t mind me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
