Chewing qaad use to be a social activity back in the north of Somalia and reserve area. The olden days, this was predominantly engaged by "Khusuusida" but it has later become too common and has lost it is prestige. And the way it is consumed in the west is it's lowest fashion.

Very sad indeed. Alaahayoow nabarkan kakici aamiin.

Writing for monetary reasons is the wrong route to take—you could make money in less intricate endeavours. Writing requires a passion together with tenacity and the ability to differentiate a good story from a brilliant one; skill most people lack not to mention some mediocre writers. Anyhow, Good luck to you all.

Goonle (change the name; you are an insult to JS family) has been speaking of nothing but trash. If you have an issue to Puntland Admin then deal with it.

Sorry to 'butt in' but I thought the purpose of Cabaya was to act as a Hijab? If that is the case; what is up with this fitted thing and glamarous Cabaayado?

Willamina dont blame me; you chose blue elephent; an expensive joint; the girl might had a 'sophisticated' taste; caviar might have been on the manue.

Gedid, she will be Brahmans and I guess you know what you will be

The food was fantastic and the melody of the music was bringing forth much needed soothing!. Elmi: Dear, I have always wondered, how could you possibly be single? Ceebla: Gives a sheepish smile, oh you know busy with school and what have you. Elmi: interupts! you mean you are now ready to embark on the voyage of your life time, sail through the tumultous waves that is relationship and arive safely the promised island full of all that delights the eye and captures the heart.....! by now she is just restricting herself not to burst into a laughter. Ceebla: Nigger pleaseeee she mutters; come on what are you some romantic character out of some 18th century novel. Come on. Cilmi: He glances over, sees the waiter and with haste asks for the bill. "The waiter take his time" minutes turned to hours! the tension is so thick you can cut it with a knife Ceebla: come on, I was messing around bruv Cilmi: Whatever b**ch, you dont dont deserve this place. The waiter arrives Cilmi: looks at the bill and nearly faintes. He takes out his Bank of Britain Debt card to settle the bill. Ceebla: glances at the bill and say, let us go dutch babe Cilme: What, come off it girl; I dont allow a girl to pay for it. "the waiter takes the card away smilling, brings the mechine and asked him to put the pin card, then moments later, the waiter apologetically says, the card is declined sir Cilme: How is that possible (he is feeling rage inside) I have £3000 in my account. Try it again; the polish young lady who was serving unsually had crisp english accent (could only tell her nationality because of the name tag)she kept smilling as she tried again. Cilmi knew that the card would not work as he had less than 200 pounds and the bill was 320 pounds. Expectedly, the card didnt work. At this juncture, ceebla was looking pensive. She didnt know what to do as she had no money on her (typical of many young ladies who take for granted that men would foot the bill however redicilious the bill might be). Ceebla: War card kale maheysid miyaa she said in Somali! Cilmi; I have plenty of money; I think there is something wrong about this card; he looks at the waiter and asks soryy dear, where is the next cash mechine? the women tells him "just when you get out of the restuarant head towards Fulham station; on the left handside there are couple mechine. Cilmi: looks at ceebla, smiles and say give me fine minutes will be back with the cash!. YOu know the rest of the story guys; he does a runner; and what is the MORAL OF THIS STORY?

Lily, No, I know many women who are talented and intelligent that is why I am sometimes attracted-- it is because of superior intellectual ablity that I am stimulated; so please DONT CALL ME A BIGOT. Also, married men are much more attractive then singelton flanderers-- we offer stablity and emotional stimulation that our counterparts cant.

Naah; you see desire can be created; the man just needs to understand what the woman wants and then fashion himself to that imagine; whence you do that, wether you marry two or three would matter less to her. She should feel that she has done well for herself for the fact that she gets you 1.8 days a week--- a very challenging task to fulfill; but it has been done succesfully. If that is not the case, then the irreligious man would cheat (obeying his natural needs) if you are religious then you will live miserably or in oblivion. PS: I know plenty of faarax's who would be able to buy you any Jacobs bag or the latest Tom ford designer dirac
