You are a good man and never done anything bad to me except for this one slip up and therefore you deserve a second chance. I've already forgiven you and everything is alright again. Just shows I was always right about you. Thank you for the lyrics eventhough I didn't understand everything but hey it's the nice gesture and thought that counts Ps could you please translate the lyrics for me if it aint too much trouble? Blue, you could do so much better than entertain AT's lame attempts to tame you.

my friend was telling there couldnt be a somalilander prime minister as this could endanger the chevening declaration. there couldnt be a puntlander PM becos we all know why. there couldnt be a khatumite PM could this could risk upsetting the somalia and somaliland relations. so there was bound to be a gedo PM becos he was strategically placed to create the balance necessary. good decision.

where are you from Oba?

UK somalis are seen ticking all the right boxes 1. unsettled and refugee, 2. black, 3. muslim. all these factors has put the community in a continually state of influx - neglected and fragmented in both attitude and orientation

i'm sorry but i probably wouldn't be able understand you. i'm also quite dark and you're probably casaan due to your proximity to the coast. we're already different in mind, attitude and ideas. but we're somalis and thats all that matters somaha?

the difference between north and south korea has become very stark according to this article i was reading recently. to an outsider its fairly obvious these day of how to differentiate between the the 'peoples' of korea. the north, according to the findings of this article still maintain a more formal korean language set. the school curriculum is based on formal korean, they're taught korean in a regimental way including reciting traditional korean poetry by memory. off course, this is infused with the current dictatorship's political sentiments but its also become a desired ideal particularly from older south koreans. the south due to its 'developed' economy speaks a more modern form of korean which the media encourages and the north claims has become diluted and can no longer be deemed 'korean'. some south.koreas also expressed dissatisfaction with the loss of identity and loss of culture, particularly of young people. similarly, the physical shapes of the two koreas is another big change. the north is said to be gaunt (due to food shortages), fitter (conscription) and 'agile', where the south is developing a taller stature, changes in facial looks (more paler and the desired Caucasian look has seen the increase in plastic surgery). the proximity towards warmer climates at the lower end of the peninsula has also seen toning increase in south korea. with the change in physique and the social fabric, the two koreas have become more and more different in a few generations. the also added the two koreas may experience a change in their ethnic compositions too and this may further lead to 'new ethnic' groups of koreans. change is certainly inevitable but with such major changes occurring within 100 years is largely unheard off. i feel the changes in our recent history, particularly the trouble and strife years (1977-2012), may have serious ramification of our own culture.

lol@JB, waar its fine. naaga daa the double standards. cigs and shisha are perfectly fine. i'd be worried about AIDS.

hi all. good afternoon all. its the start of the weekend here. just left work after what was a few difficult days. AYOUB, my honourable friend. it always brings joy to my face to hear you defend my honour as these vultures try to defame me. your kind acts of friendship and loyalty are being noted LOL. i don't know why malika is joining this crusade against me? i was thinking of taking her out to leamington spa for a bit of retail therapy and shaah.

lol@wyre, my friend just explained to me what this marfuucul qalam means. it apparently means someone who is not sane LOL. my friend further explained that the angels do not bother to writing his good or bad deed.

lol@JB and dearest Juxa, i'm more experienced than IBZ so there is nothing to jealous off. i've been here longer too so there is nothing to be jealous there LOL.

Now, instead of getting acknowledged, you are begging for attention and even went further to talk about yourself all the time. I just hope you won't talk to yourself next ...

wyre, naga daa the xamari phonetics dee. what is this DC and what does it mean?

^ lol@JB, i have an aura of kibiir (i guess its my quiet nature) JB. if people don't acknowledge me, i will have to. i don't have to beg for attention like IBZ, i explicate with tangible example dee. wax fahan dee. naaga daaya dee. you on the other hand are a complete istuus. oh god, i cringe hearing you talk like you're the sh!t. ''yeah, i clearly remember the bombing of hargeisa during the war years. our house was bombed repeatedly and beyond repair but we survived because we were righteous'' - JB on the onslaught of hargeisa circa 1988. ''50,000 people were killed, tortured and slaughtered by the fascist regime of MOD hegemony'' - JB on the war years again. no wonder people are questioning the validity of that figure LOL.

lol@local, i love that term walahi. locals are horrible. if they're not insulting you they're extorting you. they're fake and nasty. IBZ is alright, i didn't say she's not nice, she's alright that's all. in fact she's alright lol but nothing special like the hindu goddesses she's sometimes described as being. she's actually quite annoying and all our interactions are dominated by her. i usually listen. she's a bully and scares me walahi. for goodness sakes, why is IBZ deluding herself. i hear those words (i'm civilising SL) from her all the time . i'm the one volunteering at the orphanage but i'm not gonna scream it for all to hear am i now? unlike IBZ who is a total show-off LOL.

LOL@ JB, waar ila imika i have no clue what this canterbaqash means walahi. i just used it becos a few people used it against me. i reckon it means nonsense. lol

yes its me and i've been transported into the past. been here for 2 years and 8 month in small wannabe nation called 'somali-land'. i'm a former shadow of myself. i want to be a somebody again oz. i miss being a Maximus powers. he was romantic and has a fragrant whiff of elegance about his person. lol

lol@NG, really? i love how you speak with such authority on these matters. you bloody labour voting ethnic middle class haha. i don't read the daily mail then. i read the independent sometimes and the telegraph.

NG, newspaper readership doesn't prove anything if you're trying to convince us you're of middle class stock because you read the guardian and private eye. i read the daily mail despite my own value of myself and listen to nimco dareen. its doesn't mean anything nor proves anything. cut that keeping-with-the-jones-malakay dee. wax fahan dee. naaga daaya dee. lol dee

at work. headphones on. receiving calls left, right and centre. replying to emails and sending emails. downloading couple of films and tv shows on utorrents which i'll probably never get to watch. this is the same programme for 5 days a week. its so repetitive for goodness sakes. is this what life had in store for me? lol

lol@dearest juxa, i read this on the daily mail.

producing far too many threads these days so i'll post all on here. join me for laughs and a good time LOL.
