Originally posted by Oz: The title of this thread is hilarious. Storytime: This is a true story. It happened to a friend, of a friend of mine. The friend came home after 14 hours of driving taxi. His intentions were to catch up on his sleep as he was sleep deprived and exhausted from a very hard day's work. Miss Dirac, also known as Miss Ayan, his wife had demanded the payment of her dirac. The poor guy only slept for 6 hours to the rude awakening (splashing cold water on him) of his wife. He had worked throughout the day and night. After finishing his shift and returning the taxi to the co-owner. Just before he could enter his house, he handed the money ($300) to Miss Ayan so she may purchase her dirac. He was not met with a 'Thank-you qalbi' or 'ilaahey khayr hakusiiyo', she mumbled and walked away. My heart does go out to this guy (and many like him) because in order for him to enter his own home, he had to pay a surcharge of $300. Lol. That is why I advocate some women should have a quota attending aroosyada per month and no more than once a month, particularly during the dog days of summer where Soomaali weddings are aplenty. And she should absolutely not attend any uninvited wedding, either. Should she breach that or cannot respect, she should sign a contract that stipulates she should wear her dirac to at least three weddings a year, consecutively three weddings in a row if possible. I can't believe some diracs are going up to $600 nowadays. That is friggin' shameful, a dirac that will only see the light once probably. Shuqul Hollywood keeneen.

Originally posted by Indhoos: I Have discovered him recently, but read most of his books. The Sands of Time was a very good one, I remember, I read that one in 24 hours. So was Doomsday Conspiracy . Those two are my most faves so far. I have few more to read. You won't be disappointed reading in all of his books. Easy to read, too. And waxaa kaaga sii daran, he never "wrote" his books. He dictated orally to a secretary, then print it out. He once said he would edit and re-edit and re-edit hundreds of times. His poor secretary. My first was If Tomorrow Comes, discovering si kadis ah at my sister's bookshelf. Many of them I had read twice or thrice, however want to re-read Sands of Time once more.

Juxa, waran abaayadiis? Dhawaantaan laguma aragee, roogtee? Labadaas oo banooni ciyaaraayo maa aragtay? Horta Tuujka qaab banooni maba laha, asagoo over-sized ookiyaal wato arkaayee. Waraa ookiyaalkaas so Kanye West waaye ee hana ceebeen iska soo siib. Nuunka, Kanada ma dheeree iskeena, siiba now wey isku darsameen the two tournaments. Meeqo koox ka imaado UK? Last count eight or nine ahaayeen. Waaba yaabayba. Wax wada gaab gaaban oo aad moodid... I should play runtii in the tournaments. This team yarka maamulo ee Xalane la dhaho always used to ask me to play for his team since difaac anoo ah hilfaha u qaadi jiray markaa isla ciyaarno. Waaka diidi jiray, oo Soomaali buuqeeda ma rabi jirin in tournaments. The team even carries where we play banooniga at xaafadeena, Albion, where I organize my own un-organized team. The other team all the time waa garaacnaa, heer ka gaartay inay keenaan yaryaruurac team leh kana participate gareeyo the tournaments. Still waa garaacnay. Tuujka waa inaa geeyaa meeshaas.

Adaa mudan, duqa. I still can't believe Xamar oo saas u eg inay wali somehow iska qurxoontahay kor laga arkaayo. And I never thought Xamar inay saas u geedo badnayd waagaa ku koraaye, inkastoo geedaha faafeen dagaaladaas. Still so greeny oo qurux ah u egtahay, albeit all its destructions. Geed talaal Xamar wuu qurxiye. Meelahaas hadda lama fiirin karo, wey kasii dartay, siiba baarlamaankii hore oo dhulka lala simay. I especially liked how strategic it was located in the middle of sadex jid meel u kala baxayaan, plus Daljirka Dahsoona ka gees saarnaa and its national park. Jidad ayaa ku wada wareegsan ku dhacaayo baarlamaanka. Feeri nays.

Ninyahoo I wanted to come for the game and play this year but shaqada kama maqnaan kari because vecationkeyga waa Aug oo europe baan u socdaa laakiin aniga xiritaanka aan imaanaa the last 3 days iisha allah.. we should have a get togher abkee Ciyaal SOL aan isku imaano and the visitorska oo UK ka imaan doonaan.. goooooodh Idea.... Eebba hana gaarsiiyo, ee let me know goortaa imaaneysid. Nuunka, kooxdaan kama muuqatidee see camal. Mise kan kaamirada haayo tahay. Waraa laakiin maxaa waligiin aadan u imaan Koronto? Baasaboor la'aan maa heysato ciyaaryahanada qaarkood mise Ryanair meel ay tagin ma tagtiin? Shiid waaxidiin. And speaking of it, Ryanair that is -- bahasha ma basaa? Maxee tahay cabitaanka la iska gadaayo gudaheeda? Shuud, no wonder one pound tickets isku advertise gareyaan. Waaku sirmaday hadda kahor Denmark u raacee.

Originally posted by Adam-Zayla: MMA,Paragon,'me' and others that used to live in Somalia - what is what in this picture? Mogadishu used to really look like a city from the future with those unique structures and stuff Daa'uud, that image after all is in Xamar. I was watching aerial video the other day and realized the same buildings laga arkaa. Fast forward to 3:47. You will see the buildings in this image in that video. The video is from post-civil war. The same buildings reappear in the video in a minute later, at 4:50. About where they are located in. Judging from the surrounding area, it is probably in C/casiis or Boondheere, though what looks like the national theatre at the background, I am not sure if it was located in those districts. I still can't believe I had never come across those buildings before. They are beautifully designed. I had passed some times tiyaatarka anigoo waalidkey la socdo, but never seen those buildings again.

Samir iyo iimaan dhammaan qoysaska iyo reerarka marxuumada. No sound person would ever cheer isqarxis -- in this case probably by an indoctrinated kid by perverted, deviant men -- masaakiin maati Soomaaliyeed lagu laaye, regarldess who is targeted or not. Always masaakiin bystanders ayaa ku geeriyoodo. And whoever -- be it Dhalinta iyo kuwa kaleba -- thought this would be a victory for their cause, they are sadly mistaken. Ha ogaadaan maroodi ayee isku soo kiciyeen. It will be sad, but qabiil dhan ayee isku soo kiciyeen. Soomaalis being Soomaalis this will be interpreted as an act against a whole subclan in their own town waliba. It also says more about their weakness than their gains in this ever-getting sick politics of Soomaalis. Mar labaad Eebba ha u naxariisto marxuumada.

Originally posted by Nin-Yaaban: Check Sidney Sheldon. He writes very great novels. I am sure Fairfax library has some of his books. I always thought I was the only maryooley who read his books. That was back in '90s. Sometimes waaga iigu baryi jiray reading them. The only novels I had ever read, the only novels I ever bought. I read them all except his last one and his autobiography, which I am looking to. He certainly knew how to capture your attention in his books. All were great, but Rage of Angels, The Doomsday Conspiracy, If Tomorrow Comes, The Sands of Time and Nothing Lasts Forever were more pleasure to read.

Are you among those "some people?" Maxaa keenay inaa isla sintid Rabigeena iyo adoonkiisa uu abuuray. Certainly those "some people" are not found on SOL, not the vast majority of members at least. The least you can do is ixtiraantid SOLers' faith. ______________ It's got nothing to do with it. It's just young people who aren't happy with things, and it's up to Iranians to sort this mess out for themselves. Corecction: Young affluent people of elite families, who are minority and do not like the wealth spread around. People on this thread are not against or for Axmediinajad, but we cannot tolerate the obvious Western propaganda. It is so there, one can even smell it. Cut the propaganda and leave Iiraan to Reer Iiraan, whose vast majority population have voted for their incumbent president, same as they did in four years ago.

Aaden, is she hotter than your dear, beloved Yaasmiin? That is almost blasphemy. Cawaale, Mariisa Karboone iyo Feynuusba labadooda heysan jiray telefashinka Xamar. Buuxo, haa, sheekh ayaa dhalay waliba dad kusii xaman jiray, oo waa iska taqaanaa Soomaali waxee sheegaan ma ween jirin, siiba waxee wax ka sheegi jireen "how dare ee u niikinee." To maryooleeys' mind, niiko was a dance kaliya practiced by a certain 'group,' and in their mind Feynuus was not among that said group. Hadda mid walba iska niikiso, but in '80s markee soo baxeysay it was in a different environment.
