  1. What a delicious Monday. Is anyone here a fan of the series Supernatural? I just discovered it.
  2. Hello All...how goes it. Serenity, are you home?
  3. LoL..waa maxay meeshan aad u wada socotaan? Not that I want to join, am just allergic to secret gatherings.
  4. Mr Paragon, waa la khayr qabaa. How are you doing adigu? FB, OK. Have a good weekend, I'A.
  5. Are you sure? I don't recognise her..when and where?
  6. Nice face, nice songs. Not too sure about the peek-a-Boo bra though (second clip).
  7. ^^ LoOoL!! Odayga iska daaya waad ogtihiin odoyaasha soomalidu ma naxaan oo cidna uma naxariistaan.
  8. LoL...that's what I meant. My brain and fingers don't communicate as well as they used to.
  9. Aw, CL is very pretty and very fashionable, probably why she's approached so much. NG, is your colleague all there? What's wrong with taking a bottle of water into the toilet? *Waves lazily at the loitering trolls*
  10. Trollers! :cool: Originally posted by *Ibtisam: Apparently the girl was in his school back when they were 18 and he was still in Burco, they've kept contact since and she moved to Kenya. Now we know why we worked so many shifts and worked so hard! I don't know what the big plan is, I would not have contributed to bring him here for him to go back home after he affords his wedding. LoL...Ibti, sounds like love. Ilaahay khayrqabto ha uga dhigo.
  11. [EDIT] ^^ LoL, you posted this as I was writing my reply. I agree that most of the Somali family surnames I've heard correspond to those characteristics, especially #2.[/EDIT] I don't think ME is talking about 'surnames' in the sense of American or British surnames. The Somali surnames he's talking about refers to how Somalis recognise each other within the tribal system. For example, if I use the name Mohamed Aadan Dhamac, Dhamac would in this case be the recognisable family name and therefore the surname, i.e, Ilmo Dhamac, but it might not necessarily be the name or nickname of his grandfather. It could be a nickname that belonged to his great-grandfather or great-great-grandfather but regardless it is now the recognisable name, the surname, that defines that family. So Mohamed's son, Ahmed, would still come under the Dhamac surname, as he would be most easily recognised as 'Ina dhamac' within his respective clan or tribe or the general Somali community. Even if the son takes just his first three names, i.e, Ahmed Mohamed Aadan, he would still need to add his Somali Surname DHAMAC to the end if he wants to identify himself or his family to another Somali. Now Ahmed or his son or his son's son might next get a name or nickname that becomes famous and the rest of his descendants may become identified with that other surname, rather than Dhamac. I think probably the best application of ME's theory is at Somali Nikaaxs. Both the groom and bride are frequently identified by their full names plus their Somali surname, i.e. a recognised name or naaneys, whether it's from a close grandfather or one further up the family tree.
  12. I love 'Yes, Minster'. Originally posted by J11:

  14. What's more of an easier exit than the triple talaq? WKF WKF WKF as Cara would put it. Cohabitation is a poor man's marriage. I can't see any benefit in it for a woman. Ibtisam, sheydaanka iska naar.
  15. And which package would that be? That Zack...such edeb daro. *Shakes head*
  16. Nuune, really, as the Grand Qaadi of SOL, you should be doing more to promote the holy institution.
  17. LoL...Johnny, yuuna NG isku kaaya dirin. Anyone seen Couples Retreat? Is it any good?
  18. Some men are just not made for marriage, right Johnny Boy?
  19. Cute stories. I had a privileged childhood, alhamdulilaah. Originally posted by Faarax-Brawn: Childhood? Man, that seemed like a century ago. Urm, is that because it was a century ago?
  20. It's a gorgeous little country. Ilaahay barwaaqada ha u daayo.
  21. LoL...I got the cow one wrong too. 'Milk' came too naturally. MARX, you have become a bore. Fix up.
  22. Very gloomy and cold, Norf. Blighty is no fun. OZ, you cheeky beggar! It was more of a long-distance thing when I was away but now we are in the same place. Hey NG, did reerku gang up on you? Hehehe.
