Just looked back through some of my early posts (yes I have nothing better to do), and found this old thread I created:-

The question is.... is QL too serious now? Back then it was so much fun.

Specially for you..

An Indian chief had three wives, each of whom was pregnant. The first gave birth to a boy. The chief was so elated he built her a teepee made of deer hide.

A few days later, the second gave birth, also to a boy. The chief was very happy. He built her a teepee made of antelope hide.

The third wife gave birth a few days later, but the chief kept the details a secret. He built this one a two story teepee, made out of a hippopotamus hide.

The chief then challenged the tribe to guess what had occurred.Many tried, unsuccessfully. Finally, one young brave declared that the third wife had given birth to twin boys."Correct," said the chief. "How did you figure it out?"

The warrior answered, "It's elementary. The value of the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides."

Female teacher: Today, we're going to talk about the tenses. Now, if I say "I am beautiful," which tense is it?

Student: Obviously it is the past tense.

When I was young I didn't like going to weddings.

My grandmother would tell me, "You're next"

However, she stopped doing that after I started saying the same thing to her at funerals.

Rizks and WK meet. WK looks very down. As Rizks asks WK what was wrong, WK says:" You know, I have been trying to get married, but every girl I brought home was refused by my mother. I'm sick and tired of it." "Well," said Rizks, "you should find a girl exactly like your mother. Sure she will like her."

After two weeks Rizks and WK meet again. WK is still down. "What happened?" Rizks asked. "Well," WK responds. "I did what you said. Found a girl just like my mother, and when I brought her home, my mother really liked her." "And?" said Rizks, scratching his bald head. "Well," said WK, "my father didn't like her!"

MJ it brings to mind a great ABBA track entitled 'Move On'. Indeed things change, and we don't have a choice but to move on. I just wish QL would move on from its current dry state, to greener pastures. I'm sure there are some great expats about to 'Move On' in their lives and arrive here in Qatar, who have a great sense of humour and don't care to spend all day discussing religion. They will inject new life into QL and get the party going again.

A man finds out that his wife is cheating on him and decides to drown his sorrows in the local, after a few beers he opens up to the bar man.

Barman - 'whats up mate you look down'

Man - I caught my wife sleeping with the postman and if i could i would pay for her to be killed'

Barman - 'if you are really serious the man sat behind you is a proffessional hitman called Arti, he's very cheap and is the best in the business'

After contemplating his situation for a while he approaches the man in the corner...

man - I hear you are a hitman and you are very cheap, i have a job for you if your willing to take it?'

Arti - 'what is it you require?'

man - 'i want my wife killed and i am willing to pay good money for it to be done! how much would that be?'

Arti - 'I will do it for 1 pound! I love my job so much that i do it more for the love than the money!'

man - 'its a deal'

Arti - 'Ok tell me what day of the week she goes shopping and where?'

man - 'she shops in Tesco every Friday morning at 11 sharp, you cant miss her as she always wears yellow shoes and a blue jumper'

Arti - 'ok consider it done'

The man pays Arti his fee of 1 pound and leaves the pub.

Friday morning comes and Arti is stood by the fresh fish counter of Tesco at 11 sharp keeping an eye on the main door, sure enough a woman walks in with yellow shoes and a blue jumper. Arti follows the woman to the frozen veg section, puts his arm around her neck and squeezes the life out of her. On the way out of the store ANOTHER woman walks in the store with yellow shoes and a blue jumper. Arti is a proffessional and decides that he must kill this lady also, just by the pot noodles and cuppa soups Arti puts his arm around the womans neck and again squeezes the life out of her.

On his way out of the store the police arrive after being alerted to the first casualty - Arti is arrested.

The headline in the local paper the next day read as follows 'Arti chokes 2 for a pound at Tescos!'

This is one of my all time favourites..

Apologies for repeating , but i love it ..

Into a Belfast pub comes Paddy Murphy, looking like he'd just been run over by a train. His arm is in a sling, his nose is broken, his face is cut and bruised and he's walking with a limp.

What happened to you?" asks Sean, the bartender.

Jamie O'Conner and me had a fight," says Paddy.

That little sod, O'Conner," says Sean, "He couldn't do that to you, he must have had something in his hand."

"That he did," says Paddy, "a shovel is what he had, and a terrible lickin' he gave me with it."

"Well," says Sean, "you should have defended yourself. Didn't you have something in your hand?"

"That I did," said Paddy. "Mrs. O'Conner's breast, and a thing of beauty it was, but useless in a fight."

speaking of the office..

Timebandit walks into a doctor's office. He has a cucumber up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear.

"What's the matter with me?" he asks the doctor.

The doctor replies, "You're not eating properly."

QL site is fine..

The problem IMHO is the repetition of same old drivel between the pro Islam and the anti Islam brigade.

Believe it or not, there is a whole wide world out there with lots and lots of different topics to discuss..

Saeedkan.. mostly agree with you but I have one thing to point out. The QL looks good as it is. I think the classic look of QL is what makes it stand out from other cheap & glitzy websites. A new format won't do any good. Fancy looks will only make it slower. So I think the other points you mentioned are more important like a better spam filter, bring back recent comments, and better filter system etc.
