New in Town From Scotland
By scottishladdie •
Hey, I've recently arrived in Doha and I'm looking to see if there is a social scene here. Anyone from the U.K/Ireland about. I'm in my twenties just for a bit more info and I'm looking for things to do and people to meet.
thanks everyone. I'll try get involved in the rugby club and the bars. Sounds like I can make a go of it. I have not heard about my reeking lum for a while, I can't beleive my reputation preceeds me all the way over here. Though i'm from the other side to Auld Reekie.
Hope you enjoy your tour in Qatar :D
Lang may yer Lum reek! (an aw dat)
As the thread is hijacked already thank you very much for the mug I am very pleased about it.
There was thread a while ago about the door policy at Garveys. Some people were finding it difficult to get in according to their nationality. I agree that Garvey's can be good though if you are lucky enough to get in. The Irish Bar at the Sheraton is GREAT! Very friendly and sociable. They also have sport on the tv. Golf club also good.
have you tried going to Garveys club, lots of young people go there, you can watch footy, av a few beers, play darts n pool. also av a swimming pool
Canary of all the ladies that came last night you were the lucky one to have two handsome big guys escort you to your car! Plus dont tell scarlett that u gave me kissy on the cheeks coz she's my official cheek kisser...so hush hush ;)

Very well considering all my gutterballs yesterday - what an affront, much worse spicemom put it on real thick to get me over there and said she only thre (threw) gutterballs.
The escort back to my car was impressive and had a good laugh all in all, because I had received some very bad news before I come over there.
thats right skdkak we all know you, so there's no worries that darude will throw u out if you turn up for any of the events (even if your not in the social group) but i guess since the number of people required for the dhow trip was full its no point in keeping that thread alive :) besides who the hell takes darude seriously in QL?
_[]~SMoKE~[]_
CB.. how are u today. every thread goes the same expected way. lol

You are all crazy you hijacked this thread
Smokey: Thatz exactly what i am also gonna do from now ur VIP pass type of attendance in outings. LOL.
[img_assist|nid=60386|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
smokey... It was not removed. I deleted that thread and some comments related to that thread in this thread & that was for a simple reason. The way my thread and posts were taken by a lot here was not the intention.
It started to be related as a hate thread than what i realy posted it for.
[img_assist|nid=60386|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
At home but just going out now to the wide and exiting variety of shops in Dukhan. Not. See you soon, Text us about lunch
Who told you were a Bad Cook...Infact Steve told you were a ....
Terrible Cook...Lol...but then again...its fun to make some andn throw some down the drain and some down the throat...
So you at work now or at home...
hmm a little bit off topic coz i think skdkak's thread has been removed...i'm just a little bit confused..is the QL social gatherings only for members of the Social Group or is it for all and any members of QL? coz if thats the case then i'm not part of the social group and i have already attended 4 social gatherings already...may be i have VIP pass eh?
_[]~SMoKE~[]_
It is very tiring but only part time and I love it. I did warn you I am a terrible cook! Last time I tried to make brownies I cooked them for 40 minutes and then had to POUR the mixture down the sink!
See, Steve it is...didnt forget the name...anyways...cookies, and christmas ...hmmm...now come on get to the kitchen one of they weekends...and bake some for me...Lol...by the time you bake 'em for Christmas...you never know what can happen...and I dont want to go anywhere not having those cookies...
And working in Doha, thats nice...so I'm sure you are dead by the time you reach home...
commmon you knows its not just bowling. its all for you guys some miss it and then if they miss they do make it for the other event. or the third or fourth. you know that you saw it.
[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
Come on buddy dont act kiddish, we need you here... and you are doing a great job as SG manager... so chill...let people say what they want... who cares..
Yes, Steve is correct. You are right, I do still owe you cookies, by the time we get around to it it will probably be next Christmas! I am working now part time in Doha so less time on QL but all is well.
Its good (naaa) to be back...moreover glad to see you...
How have you been doing...hows things going...and hows Steve(i just hope I have his name right)...Please tell me I have the name right...
And speaking of Homes R Us...you still owe me that cookies remember...
It's so good to hear from you! Remember when I saw you in Homes R Us?That's just what I am talking about.
You can't teach experience...
Everyone apologize and get back where we use to be...
I don't want our DHOW trip getting messed up...

You can't teach experience...

Thats right what you just said...O well we miss you tooo...
,
deleted. as the purpose for posting was different and what was read is not what i intended.
Welcome to Qatar
I think the problem is not when people SAY they can't make it, but when they say they will be there and then don't turn up. Because I live in Dukhan, bothe Xena and DaRuDe have both been understanding that we are unable to make so many of the weekday things during the term time. I have been to a coffee evening and to the bowling and really enjoyed it, it's hard to meet people here, especially when you don't live in Doha. I love it when I meet people in Doha who I only know through QL, I feel as if I have friends!
Have and am willing to dedicate my self for all the members on this site. this site is nothing with out you members specially the regulars.
Fine i will step aside and lets see what you guys can do.
SURE NOTHING JUST BANTER ARGUING AND THATS ALL.
