ha ha , actually i'm quite the relaxed one. its just he seems to do and enjoy things that a 5 year old does. I suppose it never use to annoy me much but i guess i've matured now. Its just not cool anymore. Why are you so stressed over a guy? domineering perosnality, loutish behaviour and plain and simple ignorance. :mad: My problem is annoy me once, i'll tell what you did wrong, continue to annoy me and i'll still give you the benefit of explaining why your behaviour is wrong. But to keep on annyoing me, well i have to reconsider our friendship. :rolleyes:

LOL @ ''I'm a jihadist on the weekends" just going to cut down the amount of time i spend with him. slowly reduce and drift away naturally. Hopefully he's smart enough to get the message as i've told him hundreds of times about his behaviour.

whats wrong with people. first of all he claims never to have slept in his entire life. To rub salt into our wounds (metaphorically speaking) they tell us he has the stregnth of 30.000 men. if you believe this then your beyond naive.

yes che, its embasrsssing for me as a proud Somali to have one my friends be ashamed of his heritage, so much so as to claim he is half something else. I suppose i shouldn't judge, as he was a refugee in Yemen for some years in his childhoon, where he picked up the Arabic language, and when he came to Europe he had the chance to 'reinvent' himself. he considers himself more Arab than Somali. The irony is he is 100% somali. He speaks Somali, and looks like a typical warya, LOL.

what i meant C&H is that prehaps growing up in a household dominated by many females is maybe a way of explaing his ways. To complicate things further i have just found out from a reliable source(s) that one of my other friends who claimed was half somali half yemeni is infact 100% nomad. we live in a shitty world where people feel ashamed of where they come from. i always suspected he something wasnt right and he looks more Somali than i do. Anyway its too embarrassing an issue to bring with him. cant bring myself to do it. :eek:

Nuune, its hard to change people once they become adults and their ways set in. Bob, he is an Arab, educated and employed. I'm the same except i'm Somali. yes he's also muslim. the problem is he is childish. i just can't handle childish jokes and stuff anymore. The problem is my other Somali friends ignore his tasteless jokes and banter, whilst it gets under my skin because i'm aware of the realities ot it.

I have this friend of mine, who i get along with except for his annoying characteristics. 1)Very childish 2)Very loud, he always has to be heard 3)Always has to be right (even if this means he’s in the wrong) 4)Always has to get his way (at all cost even if it’s to detriment of others) The straw the broke the camel’s back for me is his insensitive jokes about poor and starving people. I told him especially because of my background (Somali) I’m particularly sensitive to him ridiculing less fortunate people who are starving. He says he understood, but continued to use profanities aimed at starving people aimed at my other Somali friends. His excuse is hebel doesn’t mind and isn’t as sensitive as me. I become quiet because I’m engulfed with rage simmering deep inside me. I don’t care who you are you just don’t take the piss of less fortunate people even if it’s in a joking way. I’ve known him since university and we have shared many good times, but I’m maturing whereas he seems to have stayed the same. One possible explanation for his behaviour is he the last born like me in his family, but he lives with his mother and sisters. So I assume he’s adopted some female characteristics. (Sorry ladies) So I’ve tried talking to him to no avail. So I have decided to cut down on the amount of time I spend with him, hoping to send a clear signal that his behaviour is wrong. It’ll be sad to let him go. Any advice from mature SOL’ers who’ve strolled down this path before sincerely welcomed.

sorry folks don't mean to hijack this thread, but can anyone explain to me why i can't seem to understand the meaning of Somali songs. this is strange as i'm told my Somali is formal and clearly understandable. So i can speak the language and can comuunicate fluently in everyday use. But when it comes to Somali songs they may aswell be speaking Hebrew. I'm terribly confused

Inshallah i'm there, will be my first Somali event.

ha ha i remember getting my haircut from them. it was okay, and the foam on the face was suprisingly refreshing. everyone who is anyone gets their haircuts from there.

i ran into Cameron on Sunday morning at 8am whilst buying my sunday papers in the local shop. he seemed in good spirits and seeing as we were the only two in the shop i decided to spoke to him for a bit. Looks like a prick on tv but in the flesh he's quite a nice guy. told him i voted Labour, he asked why, to which i replied i would be otherwise ostracized if i hadn't. he burst out laughing anyway from his high spirts on a sunday morning i gathered there was a good chance he would be our next MP.

Libaxx its also usually a stepping stone into national politics itself. most of todays members of parliament held roles as councillors prior to them winning a constituency. so its a deveolopment in the right direction. anyone care to share their names and councils?

hopefully going to see this on wednesday. have heard many good things about this

the swing in the Sunderland seats is most worrying. over 8% and at this rate it looks like the tories will have a working majority. I'm off to bed thoroughly depressed. oooh as i write result for Torbay in (lib dem strong seat) Lib dems hold on and Labour with poor showing. Good night folks i'm off to bed i just hope for at best a hung parliment which will give us a chance of a Lib/Lab coalition. Anything to keep David Cameron and George Osbourne out. God help us with George Osbourne as Chancellor. :eek:

you really are buffoon Peacenow; short-sighted and narrow minded. interesting to see how the London Times uses a picture of an Afghan Burka to conjure up emotive imgaes of 'poor' oppresed women. Also the fact that its quite a ghastly thing in itself doesn't help.

that last video really upset me B, being the sinister guy i am i can tell you some seriously bad shit would have happened to that cameraman. the terrorist comment was the one that broke the camels back for me.

ha ha somalis use to do the same back in the day. I've heard a lot of stories about peoples grandparents being victims of 'overzealous' young camel herders.

what utter tripe, how does stuff like this make into respectable papers. we'll see how he's doing after day 15.

heart wrenching stuff

i think inter deserved it over the two legs. No way in a million years was Motta's a sending off. sure Barca went at ten men inter for most of the game, but if one admires Barca's attacking style of play, then one also has to laud inter's defensive display. Yes Bojan's goal was wrongly disallowed but that made things even on the night. Well done inter. Gotta love Jose Mourihno.

One of the worst places i've ever visted. From the morons at immigration to the moment of leaving that terrible place. A wasted week of my life.

ha ha goats are freaky animals. i hated them when in somalia. Degmo is a nice place and Hamish is a proper Somali, he's one of us. heard about it from somali kids in London. we need more places like this for our younger generations to find out about their heritage. He did a stonkingly good documentary on the BBC about a decade ago on Richard Burton's foray into east africa. I think it was called something along the lines of The Forbidden Journey. anyway check it out if you can.

moderators please don't delete as i'm not intentionally advertising, we post youtube and other links why not other media

your MP Andy Slaughter is live on nomadradio.co.uk tune in and ask questions, i've already fired in my first salvo via email, even though i don't live in that area.

I have always had a fascination with dying spectacularly. Not a healthy 'fascination' to have buddy. having buried my aunt not long ago, i can tell you it scared me shitless (sorry for langauge if offended). getting down in the qabri to recieve the body and lay it to rest, has changed my life. It was my first ever funeral :eek: i think of death just like evryone else, but instead of being fascinated i am usually scared of the consequences my actions will have on me in the after life. Thats why i'm scared. anyway it was a productive experience for me as i live and grew up in a society where the realities of life/death are often overlooked. i just hope you were joking when saying that statement. :confused: the beauty of death is usually you don't know when your going to die. it can happen anywhere anytime. thats the beauty of it.
