I’m by no means a certified hip-hop head but I’ve long maintained that my top 3 rappers would be Yasiin Bey, Black Thought and Nas.

Somalis are a very unique breed.

A Somali businessman has offered FIFA referee Omar Artan $100,000 to compensate for the loss of earning he would have made officiating the World Cup.

Official referees at the World Cup earn approximately $50,000 to 75,000.

Mexico vs South Africa:

If we support south Africa they'll say we are taking their jobs.

@hlbas1 @hwendec Certain fruits are higher in carbs than others. What is considered fine in Banting is anything under 10g of carbs. Using the traffic light system, you’ll find fruits in the green and orange list and the ones to be avoided in the red list.

Easy answer: corruption.

Iraqi footballer Aymen Hussein issued a statement after being detained and questioned for seven hours upon entering the United States:

“If America is so hostile towards foreign nationals, why is it hosting the #2026WorldCup?”

@hlbas1 @hwendec Not quite Banting. Banting allows for certain fruits in moderation.

[Hugh Laurie @hughlaurie]

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.

One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??

The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.

Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!

Are there people on this app who have Watched more than 4 world cups ?

I reject the derogatory term “amakwerekwere” completely. It is a slur used to insult fellow black Africans simply for being from another country. If loving and respecting other black Africans makes me a “kwerekwere”, then I am proudly one and I will never apologise for that.
I am against illegal immigration and have said so clearly and consistently. South Africa has every right to secure its borders and enforce its laws. But I will not support xenophobic hatred or the dehumanisation of innocent people who are here legally simply because they are black Africans from other countries.
Discrimination based on nationality or skin colour is wrong. We must deal firmly with illegality not turn fellow Africans into enemies. South Africa’s problems will not be solved by attacking people who look like us.
Let’s focus on the real issues: rule of law, border control, and building a better country for all South Africans without descending into tribalism or xenophobia.
Enough with the slurs.

@_DJShort Wow. And then Dexter and Peabo passing within days of each other. 😢

I don’t know how I really feel about this. The police are being attacked but they won’t arrest the attackers. Meanwhile, they’ll arrest anyone supporting Palestine Action.
What to do?

bro to bro: if you like skinnier girls, get yourself a skinny girl. if you like thicker girls, get yourself a thick girl. if you like fitness girls, get yourself a fit girl. you are entitled to your own preferences.

but what you are not going to do bro, is date a girl who is not your type and make her feel inferior to other girls.

You are better off not knowing about the depth of Zimbabwe's resources. Once you know about them, nothing can contain the outrage that becomes your daily life.

Iran knew. Thanks to Chinese satellites they knew exactly where they took off from as well. That’s why they hurt UAE so consequentially and destroyed its oil infrastructure. That childish Emirati misadventure cost UAE its reputation for stability, and scared away westerners, millionaires & investors. The only people coming to UAE are Israelis. 40% of their residents are already Indian. A nation of expats dependent on Indians and Israelis the two most apartheid disloyal nations on the planet…. This won’t end well for UAE

“Up Above My Head”: Rance Allen and the Sanctuary of the Falsetto

“Up Above My Head” is built around Rance Allen’s falsetto and is one of the best examples of a vocal style that might have been interpreted as “just too much.”
