Morning trollers! Actually lack of food can make you grumpy & more irritable. I feel extra chuffed because I managed to be up for Saxur today. Tarawiix is just heavenly (apart from the times my knees refuse to obey my will). Just about really getting into Ramadan. It’s wonderful

Being unable to cook is nothing to be proud of, we get the regular stray dogs, ooops, I mean bachelor Faraxs who are unable to feed themselves during Ramadan and rely on the kindness of others. Being able to cook is a life skill, just like being able to swim, or drive or speak another language is, if not even more important than all those. If that doesn’t convince you, most women, regardless of Somali or no Somali find cooking men impressive, you’re missing out on teh extra sweetness dished out to the boys in aprons. Back to the question, Cabdiyo, be lucky you are unable to cook this bur, the amount of oil, sugar and more oil is enough to make anyone shudder. I haven’t had this bur since I was 10 or 11.

^^Well done!

Ibti, would help if its end of October, I’m going to the Oktober Beer Festival mid Oct or to be precise I’ll just happen to be in the same town. Only few hours left, hang in there. Nuune does that mean you can fly yourself anywhere?

Hello Legend Malika high life? Here I was thining you would be happy with sitting under a palm tree with a lovely drink gazing into the vast ocean in front of you. Let's join the Pirates Ngonge, BR is as bad as the tube. They never open the windows. The worst thing during Ramadan is catching a whiff of cigarettes, enough to make you want to vomit.

Hi all. Malika hang in there dear. I always wonder why we choose to stay here where we can be someplace where its sunny every day & are close to nature. At least you’re not in London, add grumpy commuters to your list and ppl who just get too close for comfort.

Gosh good luck, not exactly ideal for Ramadan! My sister is a theatre nurse and we have a policy she does not discuss her work, makes your stomach turn.

Sounds horrific, poor Faheema! Avoid hospitals at all costs like I do.

Since when did the Euro catch up with the pound? How annoying.

This isnt a humanitarian mission, the point is to make money. Tuujiye, shuftu reminds me of a short woman in a jilbaab. Malika, sounds very much 007 lifestyle, sun, sea, danger and lots of cash oh and not to mention a few rough and rugged Mr Kaluuns

Thats why they have invented high heels.

I would love to go Somalia...maybe become a translater for the pirates for a higher salary.

Like I said, there are very modest diracs. I'll prove it to everyone on Eid day...Now get lost before Cara gets her insect spray out.

^^I need to know who MT is before I can be suitably outraged? Blessed, tell them! Just because certain ppl associate diracs with semi-nudity.

Here I was thinking a nice holiday guide... I am still fasting you know...but I'll pay you back hodhowdi. The question remains, what were you doing listning to that kind of stuff to begin with? You do know that LP is based in your home town? Are you calling them lairs?

I'm here...well physically but mentally a million miles away reading Lonely Planet guide online. That is a terrible song by the way.

^^LoL

Nuune, not really, only the first day was tricky. Guess I should stop complaining Yeah, I feel sorry for people more up north.

Ibti, I still think if its a decent colour, not multi bright, like navy or grey you could get away with it, if the cold doesnt kill you that is. Looool@flash me abaya, never heard it referred to in that way. Sounds do-able. Geel...I think you missed the male free zone bit. Mac sokor.

I think most people in the West eat close to 8 or just after 8. CL lol, I still dont get it but I'll agree with others just to be on the safe side. Chub, its a good climate for fasting, its cool, not hot nor cold.

I never understood why people stuck to clocks? don't qoute me science. If its dark in your area you should be able to eat damn it. Who cares if its lighter half an hour away from you? The same should apply for Suhur!

LoL@ you guys. Would it be too odd to attend Eid prayer in a nice dirac? Not the bling bling silky ones, a solid one? I'm trying to come up with more places to wear dirac that isn't Aros.

Afternoon folks, I’m feeling the lack of suhur today, mainly dehydration & being in slow motion mode. Cl big storm predicted with flooding and high winds. Anyways, it's good for us, it gets darker quicker.

Ibti, yes, you should be careful about who you direct him to. Perhaps he should try his luck at the mosque. Almost home time, must pick up lovely deserts for Afur.

Ibti, I couldn't get out of work till 6 30. Oh well, next time. By food I meant protein (fish, meat etc.) and veggies? But if it works for you stick to it.
