NG, Learn how to cook? Heh. I know how to cook, I just dont have the desire or patience to spend more than 15 minutes in the kitchen. As you know it takes a solid hour at least to conconct anything semi-decent. LoL @ side-kick. You're so mean.

^ I know...I was hoping there would be at least one. Juma mentioned an Equatore before but i dont know how good a place it is.

^ Going out for lunch is the best bit of the day. Am not gonna miss it. :cool: Sheh, LoL...Lets not go there. Yeah, it will prolly end up being Thai...but its a little sad. I wouldn't have minded a nice bariis and suqaar. UD, Is that what happens in Canadian Thai restaurants? I'll have you know I have been to plenty of Thai places and the food is always out of this world. I havent found any other type of cuisine that comes even close to Thai. Also, the point of the lunch-outing is to get out of the office. NGONGE I'll only cook if there is a threat of physical violence against me. Otherwise no can do.

^^ I notice the 'edit' did not include me? Why you no talk to me? Patience is a virtue, dear.

Originally posted by NGONGE: I didn’t think you needed much help there, silly. If you’re mad enough to take your work colleagues to a Somali restaurant that you have not been in before, who am I to try to help you? I would not take my own father to one of those (not unless I’m 100% sure that it is a good place). Can you imagine it turning out all rubbish and dirty? He’ll disown me and assume that these are the sorts of faaraxs I mix with. :rolleyes: My advice to you is to cook at home (you can cook, can’t you? ) and bring the food to work. It works out cheaper too and a couple of pots won’t break your delicate back either. That has got to be the worst advice I have ever received. Why on earth would I cook and then lug it all to work when I can just go to a restaurant? I cant see the logic in that. Also, I have 1 and a half weeks to find a nice restaurant, which I will of course visit before I take anyone there. Are you mad? I have no desire to embarrass myself like that. If I cant find a good somali place I will just settle for a Thai restaurant. That was my initial choice anyway, before they started pestering me about somali food.

Norf + Amethyst LoL... I would definitely do that if it was an evening dinner type of thing. But its just a lunch thing...I can't go far (altho they all drive, the lazy bunch). Plus, they insist on having somali food. And I wouldnt mind showing off our food if I could be sure it would be deliciously made and beautifully presented.

^ For a minute there I thought you were actually going to help me. Oh well...no matter. I know wembley isnt in ur part of the world. :cool:

Londoners (specially Jumatatu) More questions about the somali restaurant in harlesden am afraid. Does anyone know the address by any chance? To be more specific, is it on Harrow Road? Its just that I have recently started a new job in Wembley and my colleagues have a policy of going out for lunch twice every month, with a different person choosing the restaurant each time. It happens to be my turn next week...and am suppose to take them to a somali one (Yikes!). Ideally I would have preferred to stick to the places I know, i.e. the Ocean branches in Haringey or Shepherd's Bush, but they are too far away for a lunch-time outing. So, I am stuck with Wembley. I know there are lots of places to eat somali food, but most seem to be plain ugly makhaayado, I havent seen any proper restaurants yet. Either way, I need to check out any appropriate places before I actually take them there. Any help? Any Wembley/Harlesden/Stonebridge/Alperton residents in here? What the hell..let's make it the whole of London Borough of Brent. If you guys can't help, I will be forced to sit through another spicy indian nightmare. Please don't let me...

^Good luck then. I'm sure you'll ace it, Insha'Allah. Amethyst... Whatever. :rolleyes:

^ My boss is on Annual Leave. But you're right. My pologies for going off topic. *Dons her inquisition hat* Somerican, am curious, who wants to have the tattoo removed? Coz you didnt specify. Is it you or one of your friends? What type of tattoo is it? And where on the body is it placed?

What happened to the rest of the posts? :confused: Amethyst, you incompetent cow, this thread doesnt belong in the jokes section, it should have gone to the Women's forum. Assuming u were the one who moved it. If not...sorry love.

^ LoL...damn chinese rascal!

Wall? Yeah, thats right. I have a tattoo design stuck to the wall above my desk. How did you know?

Nothing to tell.

^ Joke you say? When has it become a joke to play with people's feelings? Eh? :mad: Am just messing wiv you Ma'X.

^ How underhanded is that? It would probably be much easier to make like an adult and tell her you're chucking her like an old smelly pair of shoes. :rolleyes:

^ Sounds like you know what your talking about. Anything u wanna tell us? Somerican, I was reading about that the other day. Laser is the only way to remove tattoos. But it can be excruciatingly expensive.

*South* sounds good.

Innaa Lillaahi Wa Innaa Ileyhi Raajicuun. OG-Girl, please accept my deepest condolences to you and your family for your loss. May Allah rest your father's soul in paradise.

^ LoL...you beat me to it FF. Xoogsade, Sounds like you are over-compensating for something.

She had a problem, he offered a solution. She should take it or leave it. I don't see a dilemma here.

If you had asked me this question 6/7 years ago, I would have said my home is Somalia. Now, I feel my home is London.

^ Usheeg. Intaa wax aan looga baahneen bey faraha kula jirtaa. :rolleyes: @ Zu.

^ It apparently does. Tuur calanka and get urself another avatar.
