^ I don't want anyone else, just NG. *Sniff*

*Holds back tears* Urm...where's NGONGE? Why hasn't he answered my call? Doesn't he want to be my Valentine? *Runs off to weep in the corner*

Stoic, baby, you're amazing, but you're NOT Ngonge. So get out of my way, you're blocking my view of the big man. :mad: *Start's singing 'You're beautiful' by James Blunt* My life is brilliant. My life is brilliant. My love is pure. I saw an angel. Of that I'm sure. He smiled at me on the subway. He was with another woman. But I won't lose no sleep on that, 'Cause I've got a plan. You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. I saw your face in a crowded place, And I don't know what to do, 'Cause I'll never be with you.

LoL @ Yahoo. I know the skirts you're talking about. S'Bush, indeed. Totally agree. Sheh, much obliged for the space. I feel a bit sad about shopping these days. I'm scrimping and saving and have been reduced to mere window shopping. *Sigh*

This is a valentine's dedication to a sample of male magnificence named NGONGE, who's known for his spectacular stories, endless flirting and promises to the SOL ladies that they might have a chance with him in a decade or so (the cad!). However, he hasn't been quite himself of late. Has he lost his mojo? I wondered. I suppose the unceasing flogging of the dumb and the demented on SOL could have had such an effect, but still.... This can't go on, I thought. I want the frivolous and flirty NG back, doing what he does best; Serenading, gossiping, storytelling , and just being plain outrageous! I felt I had to do something to change the situation...but what? Then it hit me. What better way to get my NGONGE back from the Gobi desert than to appeal to his vanity? Oh yes...adulation would definitely work. So I went all out and prepared a banner to show my affection. Ta daaa!

^ It's probably both; lack of money and sex. Disaster. Castro, not so much realist as pessimist.

^ Fartun is an optimist.

Yeah, scorned. Anyway, K, I know you. You're happy because its NOT you getting married. Castro: Nothing to tell. It's great for people who get off on bullshidh and madax xanuun.

Frankly, I don't think marriage is anything to be excited about.

^ Or lack of it @ Castro. I'm quite simply FED up with this subject.

^^ Why do you need to see her at all? You can maintain your relationship over the phone, maaha?

LG - Actually, the Sudanese Nubians are one of the most stunning people in the world.

Lo0oL @ Sayyid. My 4-year-old cousin insists he is 'caramel'-coloured and not black at all. He doesn't like the 'brownies' or 'chocolates' in his play-group, but he loves the blonde girls. All kids go through that phase apparently, but I guess it sticks with some. *Looks at Sayyid*

Inaa lilaahi wa inaa ileyhi raajicuun. Ilaahay ha u naxariisto Garaadka.

Norf - That's strange. I had to deal with Barclays through my job and they were atrocious! The only worse bank is Natwest in my opinion. Sayyid, I opened my main account with HSBC when I was in year 9, and now I have three other accounts with them. I recently found out that I have a very high rating with them, so I think my loyalty has been effective [and appreciated]. :cool:

^ The ATMs are placed within the front of the bank, but you can gain entry with your debit card and do your banking after hours as well. I guess your MBA fella didn't realise. I have been banking with HSBC for the last 12 years and I haven't had any problems with them. They're quite sweet to me actually. But maybe that's just my branch.

^ That's right. Some spanking wouldn't go amiss either. :rolleyes:

Originally posted by D-yeer: And the staunchest protectors of these criminals are women. Why do Somali women always end up doing the dirty work for their husbands, fathers, sons and brothers? This victimhood of Somali women goes much deeper than meets the eye. You're right. The level of hostility towards female victims from other women is ridiculous. It used to leave me deeply bewildered. But from my interactions with my grandmothers, I have come to the conclusion that upbringing is to blame. Culturally, women used to be brought up to believe that they were completely worthless compared to men, and that their only role and recourse in life was to take care of the blessed folks, i.e. their men. To the older generations, there was no other choice but to take any and all the crap thrown at them and persevere. Sadly, those attitudes seem to be deeply ingrained in the Somali psyche because a surprisingly large number of women still hold on to those notions.

I concur. There's a deep sickness in our community. Men are protected, no matter how heinous the crime, while women are stigmatised, especially if they are the victims. Blessed, Yasmin was a 100% spot on. There is a conspiracy of silence when it comes to rape and other crimes against females. We all know that. Just in the UK, most Somali rapists get away with their crimes because their families buy them a one-way ticket back to the 'homeland' to escape the law. Really filthy people.

All that ends well and all. I have been trying to verify lists and lists of post codes all morning. The trills of monitoring.

A desperate call for help, that is! Hmmm...lemme think... How about writing 'I LOVE YOU, YOU BIG FAT DORK' on a piece of paper, wrapping it around a brick and then hitting him over the head with it? I think he'll definitely believe you then. No girl puts a guy in hospital for anything less than real love. Good luck and God speed.

^ 'In Her Shoes' was a good film. You might think By The Cars You might think I'm crazy To hang around with you Maybe you think I'm lucky To have something to do But I think that you're wild And inside me is some child CHORUS: You might think it's foolish Or maybe it's untrue You might think I'm crazy But all I want is you You might think it's hysterical But I know when you're weak You think you're in the movies And everything's so deep But I think that you're wild When you flash that fragile smile CHORUS And it's hard so hard to take There's no escape without a scrape You kept it going till the sun fell down You kept it going You might think I'm delirious The way I run you down But somewhere sometime When you're curious I'll be back around And I think that you're wild And so uniquely styled
