What is happening in Qatar?
Ok the site is called Qatar Living. There are loads of people complaining that QL sucks these days and is full of copy and paste. So.... without copy and pasting something, what can you offer as a contribution to a thread discussing what is happening in Qatar right now.
I will open with the roads. Regardless of the slating that the roads get, I think in the short time I have been here there has been significant improvements.
What else is there, oh yes activities. I am blown away by the sheer volume of interesting things that come to Doha. There is the Bryan Adams concert next month, and I read in the Gulf Times (not copy and paste) that the boating F1 Grand Prix will be on the Corniche on Saturday. Just look at all the sporting attractions in the last month.
Right well there are some openers.
LIS, let me check with my housemates and will get back to you.. lol :P
she has been warned! do you need a ticket by any chance? :0)
mj are you going to stage the event at your place? i will bring some plastic sheets, just incase!

TB Photography Competition

aiite TB.. les start ths agn.. u went off the hook..
lemme start.."QL - SUCKS"
Well in that case bdsa I owe you an apology, which I now extend with earnest. I honestly thought you were having another pop.
The point is that there are loads of people saying QL Sucks these days, yet never offer anything much themselves. They complain that the topics are boring and are always copy and paste.
So I created this thread to discuss the forums main topic (Qatar), current (what's going on), and without any cut and paste.
The idea was to see how many of the people who complain all the time come and contribute to the thread that they have been asking for.
lol.. jackie..
Sure brit, marked 29th April in my calendar already..
Heading to the book fair today
TB... Oh!........ I....... see

I really don't get ur point u/
Today will be the opening of Doha International Book Fair 2010. Which I guess the only chance to find decent books in Qatar after the recent downgrade of bookshelves at Virgin Megastore.
The bookfair would be held at Qatar International Exhibition Center

JM, BDSA was referencing the fact that I have asked her what her point was in the past.

Can I just pop in and say that the Big Event of the Decade will take place on April 29 and you are all invited ................................
bdsa be a good girl, go back to the top of the thread and read the topic again. Then after you understand what the point is (which everyone else has managed to do), come back down here and comment again.

Another great snippet.. LUNCH!
What are you having ??
Yes MJ, I was talking about the Exxon Mobil opens..
TB, ATP is for Association of Tennis Professionals..which is a body holding men's events.
"QL Sucks"...is a word I have been hearing it since 2007...the time I joined
...before 2007 it was even more lonely...
around 2007 there were a lot of active members .... but after 2007 - 2008 there have been very few active members...
How many active members are there now 10? 20? 30?
At least somebody is posting something? Because of that Google gives QL a higher rating based on the data being updated.....?
Anyway... today my agenda is LUNCH.... lol
aiite...johnny depp is in doha...and women are least bothered..
ths is whut happens in doha.
Perhaps it's a new page in Qatar's history.
the Book Fair sounds interesting...
did you just wake up?
hehehe ... morning everyone ..
TB... I have been hearing this tag line "QL sucks, there is nothing interesting etc etc " since I joined... I just pose the question "whom are you waiting for, why dont you do the honors"... the said QLer keeps silence for a few months which I think is spent into finding something original/ intellectual/interesting to post but when run the search string may be find that it would be a duplicate post and gets unnerved and comes back complaining and the saga continues...lol
i think ishi is speaking about asian Cup Games....... but i am waiting for Bid Result hope so we will get it by this dec.....
