Ha ha...more like "war doqomaa maalin kasta na qabsada laakiin Alhamdulilaah waan ka soo baxsanaa ...except for hebel iyo hebel. Toodaa dhaamatay kuwaas". Not sure why I imagine the fish would have a Northern Somali accent.

Thumbs up. Thank you Iran! Masha'Allah, wadamada Muslimiinta aad ayey inoogu soo gurmadeen, may Allah (SWT) reward them for their kindness.

How does anyone become a minister in Somalia? Waa la iska siiyaa. Those soldiers all seem awfully young. What's the likelihood that most were born post-1990?

Heard about this too....horrific. But from waxaan maqlay Libyans Somaalida wey ka daranyihiin when it comes to qabiil iwm. Bilaa olol usoo socdaa?

LoL, who can understand it? An exercise in futility weeye. Even the fish wey la yaabaan am sure. Ama ha na soo qabsanina ama na cuna. Simples.

Morbid. But death IS scary.

I love Sheikh Sudais recitations. Thank you X-ka.

One hour to go and no desire to cook anything. Luckily I had the foresight to buy a slice of Tiramisu a little while ago. Lily, yah it's very nice dhaqan. I like it.

FF, who are you kidding? Adigoo lugo qaloocan oo qalaafo leh ayaa hiking aaday? *Ducks* Gorgeous scenery, I can't believe you get to enjoy that kinda beauty everyday (I'm assuming you didn't go too far out of town). Don't like the thought of hiking, but I would try just to experience that beauty! Khadar, lol @ I lived in a camp out in the bush. Bad memories accompany us all. My father absolutely detests and never eats laxoox. Why? Because that was all he used to eat when he was a hungry little boy in Boarding school way back. I mean, of all the things la naco, laxoox? Never understood it.

Showqi, your first order of business is to threaten innocent people with jail miyaa? Typical Somali. Inkastoo aad saacad wax ka yar haysay shaqada, waxaa ila quman inaad isku casisho sida ugu degdeg badan. Malika, of course, if I am going to convince my countrymen and women iney boodhka iska jafaan oo ey xaragoodaan waa in aan inguna si fiican u xaragoodo tusaale ahaan, which costs £££.

LooL @ Malika! Aw bless them. A hungry Somali ayey ku moodeen (of course being Ramadan and Somali, you WOULD have been a hungry Somali but maybe not in the way ey u fahmeen). Bless. Nuune, what you talking about? Of course last day of ramadaan waa maalin la sooman yahay oo la afuro habeenkii. It's only Taraawiix aan la tukan. Koley magaaladeyda caadi ahaan iyo dhaqan ahaan ayaa looga afuraa masaajidka. And according to the hubby, it's damn delicious and filling food (weli maan tijaabin anigu). It's also got a lovely community and family feel, with tents set up in front of the masjid and kids running around. This is the first place aan ku arkay dhaqankan though. But I approve.

Odayga Gadafi might be a mad dog but he's very clever. I'm sure his famous female bodyguards ayaa jilbaab u xidhay mar hore oo Tripoli ka saaray. Biluuba ku jirey dumarkii dabaaldageyey markey Rebels soo galeen magaalada? Anything is possible.

Our condolences to you and the rest of reer Kanada. Laakiin qofka ugu hadalka badan ee farahiisu meel walba yaalaan waa NG ee don't tar us all.

In that case, yes, I accept. It will my pleasure to increase tourism (dark tourism in this case), bilicda (whatever it is) and encourage Somalis iney ku xaragoodaan dharkeena hidaha iyo dhaqanka, ama duruuc for the modern marwooyin. Sounds almost easy. (Unless I misunderstood the responsibilities?) Malika, that was my worry dee, that I was being fobbed off with a weak post where I sit at an empty desk and twiddle my thumbs, whilst being paid less than the man twiddling his thumbs in the next office. But my feathers have been smoothed by Khadar's words.

^ That's kibir abaayo. Come to my house and I'll feed you some frozen food you'll just love! (It's all in the spices. ) Khadar, in my city most of the Muslims (including families) break fast at the masjid. It's cultural (Turkish community mainly). I prefer to eat in my own house but I'm thinking of visiting the mosque the last day of Ramadan insha'Allah to see what it's like.

Val Dalxiiska, bilicda & xaragada Khadar, this post sounds very girly. How much will I get paid (I hope not less than the men or mudaharaad ayaan qabanqaabinayaa)?

You've still got the African residue left in you. Fresh foods are a luxury for lazy cooks like me. (Although I have been trying to eat healthily for a while, you just can't beat Cod and Chips on THOSE days).

Hmmm...indeed, I too am struggling to recall the girls. There's Seeker, I suppose, although she doesn't post often. Bilan, definitely. What about Somalina? I have a feeling she might be repping the States too. Puja hasn't been around these parts either. OK, I give up.

Got any frozen foods? Just pop it in the oven. That's been my saving grace.

^^ And LazieGirl of course!

NG would either make the most brilliant Somali politician alive or dead and sweep the elections (who'll loan him the 20k? It's an investment!) or he will become the most reviled person in SL and be deported (sorry about that investment). It's 50/50. A good enough risk for some. I'm willing to contribute £100 to your campaign NG.

Koley I like the Canadians better than the Americans anigu! I kid, I kid! I like all the North Americans except for Rudy.

I know what you mean, Lily. A light sandwich or slice of pizza is enough for afur/dinner these days and maybe a glass of milk at suhuur. Can't be bothered with cooking or eating, good thing we've only got less than a week to go, I'A.

The love affair with SL is over miyaa? Bacdaada madow hadii aan dibada laguu soo dhigin waad nasiib badantahay. Anyway, since you hacked it for a year, well done. Dirty Jobless London awaits you.

Anyone remember the SOL trial of the decade, Derman Vs Lakkad, where Derman accused Lakkad of stealing topics from Sol and posting them on a Kenyan forum under the name of 'Veve'? That was a funny thread.
