Aye.. "ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may titter, talk, snigger or even take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR LOVE!
are the ones that worry too much.. ignore them..they are ignorant...you are wise.. also
a wise American (oxymoron?) once advised...."a rose and nettels must never walk together the thorns become weapons to each others sides....." Maybe there is not hope for you two? I am sorry
You worry too much about labels....a smart Brit (oxymoron? ) once wrote..."That which we call a rose by any other name..." Smell and enjoy your rose.....
I feel your pain, brit, forced to eat pecan pie and the like (she shudders delicately.) Perhaps you should just make the ultimate sacrifice for love and adopt an American accent (the shudder becomes less delicate.) You could almost - dare I say it? - "pass." I know, I know, your life would become a sham and you would always be looking over your shoulder to see if someone would reveal your dreadful secret. But as you say, it's all for love (sighs romantically.)
Well, i thought you were kidding, so i hope you apologize me. All i can say is that you should worry about the 2 of you and if one stares too much, just tell him/her that she's pretty but she's yours or make some silly question like: "Do you wanna buy it?"
I think i know how you feal, just carry on living and ignore thoose folks, don't forget they elected G W Bush 2x in a row, so, they aren't that smart ;)
RP: I'm not including you as 1 os Bush supporters ;)
Edifis: Lol.
Only God Can Judge Me
الله فقط يمكنه محاكمتي
I am you and you are me, if you love i love, if you suffer i suffer
أنا أنت, و أنت أنا, إذا أحببت نفسك أحببت نفسي, إذا عانيتَ عانيتُ
eh.. so what about ME then? I have been introduced to a whole different world...thanks god i am pretty much flexible and adaptable to everything and anything, including an obvious nonsense..LOL....

Then you should pick your bride from the FTV! They are so skinny.I bet they hardly eat anything! You will not have to worry about any food. But I think they don't cook much either.
Yes! I realised that long term relationships don't work.. Also, with the inflation in Qatar, I couldn't afford her daily food intake and other "demands"..
Sad, but life moves on.. As Gypsy says, There can be more than one true love in your life..
Thanks for the kind words.. problem is that most people are cynical. They think that I am going out with her for other reasons than love..She is very good looking, whilst I am average..
Why should you be bothered by the people around you? their stares? soft whispers? At the end of the day, it will be only the two of you working out your differences.
Count your blessings buddy..there are couples out there with far more complications in the relationship.
Is funny, but I got the whole collection of the BBC Mini series Spooks..........Dammed I love watching some other TV shows, I can't remember the names. Yes I got it, Sherlock Homes stories, talking about classical stuff.....
The Seven Words You Can Never Say On QL by George Carlin
Buddy, I would do anything for my Love , even though she speaks a slightly different language.
You are right, I have been brain washed by Dallas, Dynasty, The Price is right, Jerry Springer Show and ofcourse the Dallas Cowgirls....
I look at Turkey as an oversized Chicken, so it's not too bad.. The Cranberry Sauce takes a bit of getting used to, but the Newcastle Brown washes that down.
Anyway Buddy, Have a great thanksgiving and enjoy yourself.
I have a got feeling that you are selling yourself to highest bidder.
How could you celebrate Thanks Giving day?
We all know that you are not American but British.
I'm confuse with this culinary business of British CITIZENS eating Turkey in Thanks giving, which is an American Holiday.
Probably you brits are being Americanize the hard way in accepting our ways at your own convenience.
Well, anyhow, Happy Thanks Giving and gut-en appetite Monsieur Britexpat.
Did you enjoy watching and listening for the last time, Our 43rd President George Bush, last Presidential Turkey Pardon? Dammed Bird got himself a first class flight ticket to a bird refuge in Florida. All this at the tax payers pockets.
The Seven Words You Can Never Say On QL by George Carlin
it is a tradition to take a long walk..Maybe we will see you and your American Girl on the Corniche..we will be the other couple holding hands ..DONT STARE!
This sort of thing is not funny , unless it happens to you. Yes, they will also stare at the couple you mentioned and perhaps even pass queit and snide comments.
They say that love conquers all, but is that true? Why are people cruel ?
Alexa: i am learning a lot from her. I can now Barn dance, I know who Tammy Wynette is and have come to love Bagles..
Brit you are just kidding around huh? ...if they stare at you how about a white american guy with big green eyes walking in corniche with arab/gulf woman wear abaya? will they stare or grab? lol
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
Its not the food.. Its her own people making snide remarks.. I can feel them saying, "what does she see in that limey?".. It hurts , even though I try to shut it out..
your a fool brit to have continued the relationship in the first place, you shouldve realised that you both werent meant for each other the moment you discussed crisps/chips, Mrs brit is right, its chips ;-)
Don't mind people around you. Just follow your heart as I did. Now I am happy and different from the majority of people because my mind is wider than before, hambullila.
is this a sort of english version of the other thread? but who cares??? as long as you're not doing anything scandalous to the public, let them stare all they want... lol :))
tongue in cheek;-) if not, oh well.... but anycase... how would they even know that you are of different cultures ie. US and UK... they're both western countries, aren't they? :-P
"if you don't like the heat... get out of the kitchen... but stop trying to fan the flames before you leave... it will burn you on the a** as you go through the doorway...." ME
britexpat, why do you think they stare? Seems strange to me, culturally there is less of a gap between brits and americans so I would not have thought it would elicit such behaviour??
Sigh.... dreaming of a love one that i can show off to the world ... as if telling "Hey,I'm with him so back off you girls!" Too bad, it's just my dream ;)))
r u serious brit?? are there still people who would "stare" because you two are from different culture? why do you think they stare because they cannot be happy for you guys? maybe they admire you, that's why they stare...
..actually, 'specially on the Corniche, some people are sitting and staring on everybody and everything who or what's passing by...it's kind of entertainment...
i don't think it has anything to do with your different cultures though

wen my woodby cam to doha on transit in the airport all dumb people were staring at both of us also as we are sum aliens,come on just leave it dude and be happy.i am an indian but people dont believe so bcoz of my beauty they r like r u an indian and they r surprised wen i say dt coz it seems that they have not cn such a beautiful indian b4 in lfy.its the peoples mentality wich u cant change so get going and wat others think is none of ur busness
In the end of the day, if you are in love then that is all that really matters to be honest.
In ten years time, (hopefully) you will be together and most of the people who "stare" will not be around. What is infront of you every morning and everynight is what should be important, i don't mean being in eachothers company 100% day and night, sheesh everyone needs a couple hours away from eachother, but you being together with eachother is far greater than any contrasting look could ever mean.
You are either on your own, or on your own with someone at your side (trust me it makes sense in my mind)
Ignorance is not without it's blissful qualities.
People will stare when it is something they either envy/want or if it is outright disapproval, niether of which should really worry you mate.
This is a society where looks are important, and everything should follow the status quo... sodd that, we need indeviduality here.
just look at it this way, these people are all green-eyed monsters.... so envious of others that they just cant help staring... well, i say to them, stare all you want, drool all you want, like hell i dont care..

I'm talking LOVE here.. I can live with the corny jokes and the sequined tank top, but you do have a point about the long, blonde, hairsprayed hair..
yes, brit but their sense of humour is awful so dump her.....and they have thick hair....
America is no longer the "Land of Opportunity"..why do you think I am here!..SHAME!
be "in love" for the correct reasons
Aye.. "ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may titter, talk, snigger or even take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR LOVE!
Ach no worries brit... Shield of Zeal and keep yer sword arm free.
Ye'll be fine
____________________________
Please don't shatter my world.. Who was this "wise American" who does not know of love ..
I will persevere and we will be together always, or at least till I get my green card..
are the ones that worry too much.. ignore them..they are ignorant...you are wise.. also
a wise American (oxymoron?) once advised...."a rose and nettels must never walk together the thorns become weapons to each others sides....." Maybe there is not hope for you two? I am sorry
Not everyone thinks the same as you..
They see us together and think , what is that rose doing with that bunch of netteles.. What does he want from her..
They are thotns in our side..
You worry too much about labels....a smart Brit (oxymoron? ) once wrote..."That which we call a rose by any other name..." Smell and enjoy your rose.....
Soooooooo romantic..lol
Language is not the main issue. We can communicate.. Her language is not that different from mine..Sometimes we use hand signals or even "brail"..
I can eat Pecan Pie and buckets of ice cream for her..I just wish people would leave us alone and not interfere or pass judgement.
I feel your pain, brit, forced to eat pecan pie and the like (she shudders delicately.) Perhaps you should just make the ultimate sacrifice for love and adopt an American accent (the shudder becomes less delicate.) You could almost - dare I say it? - "pass." I know, I know, your life would become a sham and you would always be looking over your shoulder to see if someone would reveal your dreadful secret.

"I would do anything for my Love"

I am sorry it didn't work out. Love is give and take.. However, the family must be included..
People always talk though..I am becoming used to the difference in cultures.. I have been introduced to Burgers and fries,grits, pecan Pie, gumbo etc
We'll see how it goes..

It was good last night. The meal was great , although the Turkey spoilt the taste of the blood pudding...
We sang songs including "uno paloma Blanca" and listened to Shania Twain and old George Bush speeches..
Thanksgiving is great...
Dove...La Paloma...

But what will happen to the Cuban "Cumba Jay"?
She's my "dove" , not a pigeon. One day we will build our nest and no one will bother us..
Birds of a feather , flock together. If people see a pigeon with a rook, then they will talk..
it is a tradition to take a long walk..Maybe we will see you and your American Girl on the Corniche..we will be the other couple holding hands ..DONT STARE!
Hope you have a great time..
Hubby and I are celebrating our Thanksgiving "festival" @ a Texas BBQ???? ...only in Doha :)
Thanks.. That's another 'festival" I've come to know about...
Wish your gal "Happy Thanksgiving"!
If u r in true love then nothing else happening
around should matter u..
U have to be happy tat u got ur love to support u in everyway..Love is blind..
Love is understanding, sharing,caring..with 2 people..
Not to get worried abt others thinking abt u and ur partner..dont be inferior, be proud to urself and for ur love..

You must atleast give some time for the broken hearts to mend!
Brit! When did you break up with Cumba jay!!
Gosh! you are so fickle minded.
This is not fair! Not happy with the Cuban, now you go for the American. Will the next one be Japanese?
Brit you are just kidding around huh? ...if they stare at you how about a white american guy with big green eyes walking in corniche with arab/gulf woman wear abaya? will they stare or grab? lol
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference
Well atleast she is getting culturised (if I may use that world)
What culture do they have..
-----------------
HE WHO DARES WINS
There's that brolly again ;-)
Its not the food.. Its her own people making snide remarks.. I can feel them saying, "what does she see in that limey?".. It hurts , even though I try to shut it out..
She eats burger and French Fries with Ketchup
I eat Cod and Chunky chips with Salt and Vineger
-----------------
HE WHO DARES WINS
We may be similar, but we are different. She's American and wears jeans, cowgirl boots and likes country music..
I wear a suit, bowler hat and carry my brolly with me. But these are superfluous. Inside we are both human and we love each other..
Happiness is another name for money in your wallet.. the more you spend the happier you'll be..
