[Lamagoodle]

I am impressed.
Visious ; it is Somali Shillings. Wrong answer.

GeoSeven, you are partially right! I studied medicine for two years and I have published but not in NEJM. I wish I could have finished my studies so that I could treat our folks back home.

GJ Jaamac and Julkimi; no, I have never been to the Al-aqsa mosque

Zulaika, I like your “maybes” Tactical manoeuvre

Jalaaludiin; LOL. Skinnies are actually hot in the royal houses of Europe.

Jasmine; LOL@@@@@ you don’t date. I wish I completed my medical studies and embarked on a research career so that you could pocket the million shillings

The happy one; there are no half answers. You did a Zulaika there my friend

DeeqaDeganeey; mmm. No. Remember Jeelle lived in Germany and not Holland.

Garooweboy LOL. I should have added this alternative; lunch with John Barnes, Ian Rush and Daglish. But that would have been obvious. You could have had a chance to earn a million

The following people will share the million (first come first served basis)
.
Marques ( you will get 500 000 shillings; you are the first)

DafiyoMiriq; lol. 200 000

Displaced Dirac 150 000 shillings

Expresso: 100 000

Maandeeq 50 000

Sorry. I am not using the 4,5 formulae to divide the money. The decision is final. Send me your Dahabshiil accounts and I will send the money.

This is the background.
I was in Zimbabwe for a ten day stay. We were three people from Sweden. Two swedes and I. We arrived at our hotel in the morning. After a few hours of sleep, we took a short walk to the city. As we passed through a park, we saw a TV production shooting a soap opera. We exchanged greetings. As we were leaving, we were approached by the producer. She asked whether we could participate in it. There was no script. The soap opera was about life in the city. It evolved around a woman who left her village for the city. The only asset she had was her beauty.

The storyline for the episode (they developed it in minutes!) was this this.

The reer baadiye lady (who was nicely dressed with rasta hair) was giving up living in the city because of the tough life when she meets three foreigners; two whites and a rich guy of African origin (they thought I was from the middle east and not a somali). One of my colleagues (the man) played the part of an old rich man. The other played my girlfriend. The Zimbabwean woman wants to date the old man for his duff but she is very traditional and wants the African. The white woman is jealous and my character is caught in a love triangle which revolved on many things; race, age, nationality etc etc. etc.

We did at least 10 minutes (maximum of 3 takes) and changed wardrobes a number of times.

Two days later, the producer came to our hotel and said that episode was a breakthrough for the soap. Many Zimbabweans watched it the previous night. High ratings. The local tabloids who were provided with a copy a day earlier were lyrical.

She wanted us to tape a new episode. This time, they will pay us, she said. We couldn’t be paid because we were on official visit so we opted for souvenirs. I got an elephant carving

We agreed to a five minute take; the climax. Both my girlfriend and the old man find out about our affair; we sat at poolside ( I had to wear swimming outfit; Baasto legs, chicken chest etc) and hell broke out. Cat fights. The old man dies of a heart attack. My girlfriend orders that we leave Zimbabwe. The poor Zimbabwean lady is arrested for soliciting foreigners.
