Ibtisam Posted December 22, 2009 Borders is closing Today is the last day and they have 90% off but the only one left is Brent Cross. Can I even take public transport there? I want to buy all their books on Africa (they only have about 150), that will be my reading set for a year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny B Posted December 22, 2009 Our shopping-mania is over. got all the presents,it's just that this sujui girl is not good at wrapping gifts ( wonder how they did back in east africa ), so i've to wrap them all by myself. Her appology being: most Somali men can't tie a nectie and most Somali women can't wrap gifts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cynical lady Posted December 22, 2009 Disgrace to the Sijui community...her inability to wrap a gift that is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny B Posted December 22, 2009 ^true disgrace indeed !! Given that growing up among other people Christians and what have you, gift-wrapping should be mastered at childhood, but those from Buroa or Bosaso are forgiven. Sujui community != Somali community?

Ibtisam Posted December 22, 2009 ^^It is not enough she is doing your dishes and cooking and now he wants her to wrap. Talking about being given an itch and trying to take a few extra yards too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny B Posted December 22, 2009 ^Little one , its not a matter of asking for more , It's a matter of un-bearable disability. Now think , how many times in a year do i ( you ) have to give away presents ... at least 18 Xmass gifts, at least 15 b-days, and two or three special occations , and 2-5 presents for the special one ( her in this case )in my life. I need help, and she is not of help in this particualr regard. Ps.. i own dishwasher, and i do the cooking, not that it should be mentioned but she gained few kilos since we met ( thanks to my meatballs & Crème fraîche & ginger sauce ) .

NGONGE Posted December 22, 2009 Ibti & Jb, STOP what you're doing. JB, you had a choice from all the women in the world and you landed yourself a sijui? Why? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cynical lady Posted December 22, 2009 *wouldn’t it be lovely if Jonny’s GF spends an afternoon with Ibti? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cara. Posted December 22, 2009 LOL @ Johnny. My technique is to just glue a ribbon or bow on the gift item in question. No messing around with yards of paper, it's bad for the environment anyway How are all the trollers today? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny B Posted December 22, 2009 NGONGE, Depends on how you look on Sujuis . As for me i expect more from them ... i could be wrong. CL, What can Ibti possibilly teach her? How to busybody?! Cara, you cheat with your presents ?.. can't help feeling pity for those who recieve them . Cara = ugly gifts ( glued ribbon, vissible price-tags ) , in short a gift that say " ku dhimo" Che´ Yes sir ... i too do search in the dark . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cynical lady Posted December 22, 2009 Old man- What’s wrong with Sijui girls? Minus Jonny’s lover that is….I’m sure she isn’t an authentic sijui who lacks a valid kitambulisho (gets all defensive) Jonny- what unimaginative person you are. Hello Cara and Che Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted December 22, 2009 I give maybe 3 presents a year, don't do Xams, Bdays, holidays or anything’s else, don't do Eid either unless there are kids at the house. So really I only do wedding gifts and those ones- I get the shop to wrap them nicely and at times even deliver it to the said couple. If you buy a nice expensive gift- the shop will wrap and deliver for you. Ngonge what did I do now?? CL: I so would lock her up for a while with her too-fast-for-her-own-good-self cooking and cleaning for some man :rolleyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
