Mmmm...Friday! Am I glad that the weekend is finally here! Not soon enough tho...not with another 5.5hrs to get through. Sleep deprivation, RSI and a cold office are not exactly conducive to a good working day. *Oh Lord*

Always glad to help. I expect a percentage of any profits you make from this little tidbit of info.

^ No dear. I don't even have sambuuse in Ramadan. I had the sabaayad and Shaah.

Can't say I am in a hurry to gain any of those skills. Talk about restrictive and boring. Add some plumbing and dirt-track racing courses and I could be interested. Haahey. *Nods*

Zu, don't be perverted. Off course I don't serve tea in a short skirt, especially not to my female boss! But Callypso is a different story. PS: Have you seen the film The Secretary, with Maggie Gyllenhaal?

I drew a matrix of the possible combinations and there are too many variables. The only certainty seems to be that Ngonge could only have had the yoghurt and shaah. Cally and Foxy could both have had the coffee and donuts. Foxy may have also had Anjera (laxoox, man, laxoox!) with coffee. Castro could have had the sambuusa with tufaax juice. Or alternatively he may have had the Donuts with Shaah. Poor Ngonge didnt have much of a choice (calool qush-qush or what). I could have had the Sambuusa with balbeelmo juice but I probably had the sabayad with shaah (however did you know, JB? That would be my ideal breakfast if I could make the darn things). That's the best I can do, I'm afraid.

Originally posted by Femme Fatale: Ahura, That just totally kills the image I had of you wearing leather gear and a whip with the trademark snarl on your face. That's an outdated image, dear. I retired from the S&M scene quite a while ago. Coincidentally my confidence took a bungee jump around the same time. Perhaps, much like Samson's locks, my whip was the source of my strength? God forbid. On a serious note, I work in a really close knit team and my manager isn't so bad either. I enjoy my job for the most part. But, and I don't know how it happened, am apparently the most technically able person in the team (I know..me...technically able...what a joke), so a lot of work outside my JD tends to fall into my lap and I seem genetically incapable of saying 'No thanks, am busy'. PS: Did I just imply that making tea was a technical job? Heh. Of course I don't mean it like that (yes, Brown, am talking to you. I know you'll be tempted to comment).

A 'Mehram' leasing company Lovely Johnny, always coming up with spectacularly innovative ideas.

UD, Ha ha ha. Yeah right, bet you would never do that, even if they had your ar$e in a grinder. Thanks for the laugh tho. It's my fault really, I was always too eager to help. Waxaan shaqadeyda ahayn ayaan intaa faraha kula jiraa. So, I can't exactly turn around and tell them to French Connect themselves out of the blue, can I? But yeah, one of these days I will have to sit her down and tell her I'm not happy with the way things are.

Ya. Time well spent. :rolleyes:

Yoonis, Bisinka. Xaasha, waxaasi afkayga ma soo mari karaan. Brown, LoL...more or less (altho I can't say I have ever had a sugar daddy...only poor-as-dirt faaraxs). Baashaal, huh? That word was spoiled for me by tuujiye. Sheh, My grasp of Somali is a lot better now, but at the time I did settle for 'enjoygareeyey'.

'He' maaha. Waa a 'she'. But I'll file your advice away for future reference. All the crap jobs go to me for some reason. Do you remember the Ghostbusters theme song? 'When crap happens, who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!'? Well, replace the Ghostbusters bit with my name and you have my job title. :mad:

LoL...Yeah I can just picture politely thanking someone after an evening out with: Waad mahadsantahay walaalo, caawa aad iyo aad baan u raaxaystay. Yikes! Sheh: Manners, my dear girl, manners. You have to say you've enjoyed urself if you have. Enjoyment is good, istareex and raaxo are bad. Bad!

^ Haahey...nin caqli badan baad tahay. Masha'Allah.

I don't think picking up a book would help you, Abstract. There's no medicine for certain ailments. I watch L&O as well. Especially SVU and Criminal Intent (when will the new series start anyway? Am tired of the repeats!).

Not many people speak classical Somali. Keena ugu fiican wuxuu ku hadlaa intuu suuqa kaga soo adeegto. Guilt - I have no idea. MMA's suggestion sounds closest to me. But am hardly fluent. One word that I have never been able to translate into Somali is 'enjoy'. How would one say they enjoyed themselves in Somali? E.g: 'Thanks, I really enjoyed myself tonight' The closest thing I could come up with was: 'Istareex' sounds sleazy/perverted (even if its a correct word), 'raaxo' is close but isn't quite the right word. The opposite of raaxo would be rafaad (struggle? suffering?), but neither struggle nor suffering is the opposite of enjoyment. That's how I made the distinction anyway. Baashaal (as in, ii baashaal...) isn't quite right either. Any thoughts? LoL @ Bal adba. Xiin, funny you should bring that phrase up. It is one of the many kooky Somali phrases that I adore. I recently heard a story about a certain Somali tribe lagu dacaayadeeyo their use of 'Bal adba' as an answer to enquiring/difficult questions. Oh and Yoonis? You should quit while you're ahead.

*Giggles* Someone forwarded that email to me sometime ago, and I laughed so hard I almost threw up. The poor woman.

Boss: Could you do me a favour? Aniga: Off course. Boss: You couldn't make the 7 people I'm having a meeting with drinks, could you? Here's the list. Thanks. Aniga: Oh sure. Happy to utilise my invaluable skills and experience to undertake such a task. I love my shaqo.

Waterfall, could your head get any larger? Tut, tut.

All fun and games, I see. I personally don't see any humour in this issue. The sinster face of the Sex industry.

Originally posted by FARIID: Nur has been championing the womens cause in SOL from the word go. I dont remember the last time one of your gang (sheh, aero,fame et al) brought a serious debate about womens issues. You are all too busy raising worthless chit-chat topics like butt firming exercises. This is the reason men like nur have to raise these issues time and again. LoL. Hardly bro. Overlooking the 'thought-provoking' suggestion to re-establish FGM as a 'solution', I am wondering what constitutes a champion? For example, would this championing of women's causes you mention, include the threads ramming polygamy down women's throats? Or perhaps you are refering to the ones categorising girls as either 'sisters, Transistors or Resistors', depending on how they wear the hijab? Yes, luv. I can see how Nur's threads might be mistaken for those of a women's champion. I'm sure the brother does great work. Am also sure he's a great person. But as far as women are concerned, his views have been coming through loud and clear for quite some time. Perhaps the devoted followers have had their fingers plugged firmly into their ears? Anywho...this isn't really an issue for me. I know most people's views quite well, so I never had any illusions to begin with. Must run now. Those butt firming exercises need doing.

^^ Looks like it was deleted, along with mine and Curling Waterfall's. Whatever could be the matter?

Intaa meel aan lagaaga baahneyn baad afka lasoo gashaa, NG. Let the girl whip the chauvinist in peace. He more than deserves it.

Hope he is released soon. False arrests of Muslim men are becoming quite prevalent.

1) Burnthwaite Road, London SW6 £479,950 Freehold 2) The Estate Agents Blurb reads: This super two double bedroom period cottage, full of charm and beautifully presented, offers great potential for loft extension, subject to planning permission, an excellent contemporary kitchen and bathroom, and a wonderfully spacious double reception room with stripped wood floors and French doors leading to a pretty patio garden, situated minutes from the shops, restaurants and... It's a gorgeous house, in an area I am dying to live in. It would only take me 35mins to travel to work from there. However, as you've already surmised, I will have to sell every organ in my body, prostitute all my sisters and become a well-used cocaine mule to even come close to affording the stated price. But those are just details. 3) Why do I deserve to have it? Because I have always wanted to live in Fulham. Because I have wanted my own place since I was 5. Because it would make me ecstatically happy. Because I would finally have something that's mine alone. With my own space (stop sniggering you damn Americans - space is a precious thing in this country), I could finally pretend to be an adult! 4) I will be incessantly happy, won't I? No one will have to put up with my moody episodes anymore, which should improve their quality of life.
