I don't understand. Is this going to be 'Zain'

or is this the same as what MTC did and licensed the Vodafone branding only?

humm... in my mind i expect,

-there will be non charge-able phone for students.

-if you register your son at government school, you'll get 1000QR prepaid credit and new handset.

-we can donate money through SMS

-buy 100QR credit, and won scholarship

Why do you keep on filling my glass. You keep on filling my half-empty glass whenever you see only half of its contents are left. What are your intentions?

I think I have had too much, Should I serve you as well. I will try my level best not to spill:)

If only you know what I mean:)

that's another of your 'glass half empty' persona.

when the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter,get out of the way fast, its probably a train heading your way

After reading Jay Pareda's letter to the editor in the Gulf Times this is what I think.

Hey, you said it, Knoxie. Actually I believed you. I don't expect jokes from you. Good work! Keep it up. Eventually you'll have a sense of humour :)

Come over to the light side.

For the record I dont drink, I have never ever tasted liquor. I might not be a great five times praying muslim but I do have my limits and boundaries.

Coz if I drink today then tomorrow I will not be able to ask my kids to abstain from drinking

Knoxie, if you were in NYC would that really make you happy??? Happiness is a state of mind, not a place.

God help me, don't bring your pessimism over my way...lol.

DG now my glass is totally empty, and also there is nothing left in the moonshine wiskey drum. Need to buy some moonshine from a black market dealer.

If only was in NY, I could have as much as I want, and get totally wasted in the christmas winter. Nothing like good old hard liquor in winter. Nothing beats the cold than alcohol

By diamond• 10 Dec 2007 18:08

lol...Knox, I'd temporarily forgotten how totally depressing and 'glass half empty' you are...have you been depressing everyone with your doom and gloom since I was last here you bad boy?

Actually word is VCU students will be bringing out a range of glittery sparkly mobiles in a wide range of pink shades with optional abaya and shayla covers...I think they'll do well :)

it's better than what happened in the UAE.

The second licence went to Du (owned by the government as is Etisalat). I cannot for the life of me see the sense in having two government controlled service providers supposedly in competition.

I go to my professor to ask some questions after university timings at QF and he tells me sorry son, not today. I have to help at QF mobile phone counter. Come tomorrow.

Best of all QF can also have only ladies only days at the mobile phone kiosks. or QF can make it protoypes serve the customers. For gurl robots they can make em wear veils. (Did anyone see the female robot invented by Japan, looks pretty real to me)

As the chairperson of QF is against arabic channels spreading obscenity so the QF mobile service can block the picture messages and the sexy sms as well. Hell QF can also censor sexy conversations.

Over to you diamond girl. No offence Miss.

So what? If it makes the market more competitive, bring it on. Nobody cares what it's called...if it was called Vomit Inc. and offered a great deal people would buy it.

Seriously what is the purpose of QF. As QF got it this makes the whole bidding process a bit suspicious? Dont you think so.

I wonder whats going on...:)

No hard feelings QF employees. I thought QF was an education establishment but behold I was wrong and looks as if it is a wireless phone service provider as well. Talk about some Change.

Way to go QF. Whats next? QF cement. QF Gas, QF oil, best of all QF zoo, or QF entertainment.
