i am good CB thank you for asking.

How are you? Hmm just thought it funny she answered a post from a year back lol, just wonder how she found it.

CB ...indorachel is new. She havent got the hang of QL forum yet.

You probably see her as a member for quite sometimes, she been talking to me for nearly a year before she arrived in Doha. I did asked her to joined this forum sometimes back, i guess she only being an active user recently.

Interesting you answer this now the post is a year old

where is glam who has started the ball rolling for thursday night has she left already she is noticeable by her absentence

I've been here just over 2 months and feel similar Glam.

I have always kind of gotten used to being alone generally but there is something about Doha that magnifies feelings by a significant amount.

how or where do i pick up tthe thread for this social group

I am up for it. call me. I will bring our 2 Egyptian friends also.

I second you that she is a very 'lovely' lady. Always open to make friend with everyone.

Hey Vasquez and Derry Boy, I started a Thursday Night out thread in the Social group, so sign up there. I'm thinking Rydges, but it's still up in the air.

Oh and I'm also in town for once - so I might join as well!

Sl - Richard et al! Are you up for it?

- I took the blue pill and found myself alive in Qatar - wish I had taken the red and stayed in Europe

Derry boy, are you paranoid? Don't think that just because people haven't written to you, you are being sent to the boonies as a social outcast. :) Really, I'm just messing with you.

Guys (to you to Glam) you just have to smile and strike up a conversation with someone you might find interesting. Most of us walk through our daily routines just trying to meld in the background. The only way someone will notice you is if you stand on the table and laugh to hearts content. Now I don't mean that literally, but you catch my drift right?

I have made some very nice friends here in Doha. But I think that has more to do with actually getting out there and doing stuff that interests me, and these friends happen to walk into my life.

I'll give you an idea. Xena is very active here in Doha. And the nice thing about her is that she doesn't limit herself to 'one' kind of people. You'll find her at get togethers on Animal welfare, for example, which is where I met her. As a mom, I don't really go out to clubs anymore, but that doesn't mean I can't find friends.

So get out there, and make yourselves heard with a smile on your face, and people will come.

every one seems to have gone quiet on me what did i say

am open to any social invites that might come my way for the week end

I had the same issue when I arrived and found a lot of the English I work with, stuck in their little click. Eventually over time I found friends and settled down (as much as you can here). It does get better in time....just give it a chance.....the key is to travel as often as you can.

I talked to myself LONG before I moved to Doha. Seriously though Derry boy, never fear, you've found QL now. :D

Perhaps we should get a social group thing together this weekend? Who's still in town, I know Joe is gone home and Ducky has left, is Xena back? Greeker is here, Manutbl, JonB, WhoMe, scottishlad, Bennis, Cornellian.....Who else is still in town? I might actually be able to go out this weekend.

i am irish and yes there is a difference

Hi Everyone,

Im due to start work at the Qatar Leadership Academy in sep 07. with a view to relocate with my family.

Any information on the Qatar leadership Academy and life in Qatar in general would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks..

I guess just hang in there. Most of my social group is with my workmates (QP) but there are certainly other groups. I'm a Canadian and the Canadian group is doing some interesting (and some bizarre) things, "Turkey Curling" anyone.

There are large groups of EXPATS here and there must be a group of Brits (I think you're British). Talk to the people at the British Embassy and see what they have to offer.

There are also groups like Toastmasters and the Geographical (Historical?) Society that does interesting things along with some dive groups.

I vote for a Grand Cafe Sheesha / Lemon n Mint meeting :)

This is purely out of boredom any 1 else has any ideas ??!!! Other than walking in the open air Sauna (Corniche) !!!!! did any 1 see blades of glory ?!!! Supposed to b a good laugh !!!!!

LOL DaRude, you have to be genuine nobody could make you up. :D

You need to look under groups, and then look at social group. It's been a little quiet lately because the social guru Xena had to run home to South Africa, but once she gets back I'm sure it will be going full swing again. :)

[img_assist|nid=13228|title=I feel your scorn and I accept it-Jon Stewart|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

you are makin me shy for callin me Genuine :D

[img_assist|nid=13339|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

can you give me some info on social group because believe me am starting to go stir crazy last night i even started to talk to myself

Join the social group here on QL. I've found the people I met to be really friendly, and defintely some of the nicest people in Doha (because I know what you mean about people here not being very friendly).

I know it took me at least 6 months to start meeting people here and really about a year before I met some genuine nice people.

i also have been in doha for just over 3 months and i must say it has been the most depressing time of my life. i have been to the qube, sheraton and ridges and have found them the most unfriendly of places.i would like to meet someone but if you try to you are branded some kind of a saddo and as for the drivers here i think well i cant say what i feel be cause i will be deported, i am seriously considering resigning from my job which by the way i love but i feel that if i dont have a life away from work then whats the point

join the group of walkers who walk on corniche every other day male female both. hope u like that. Ram arranges for the spot where to meet on corniche.

[img_assist|nid=13339|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

[img_assist|nid=13339|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

I've met apple, azzi, junarc, cygnet, daylight, pwb78, emcee in person. They are soooo friendly and accommodating. Suddenly, my weekdays got busy.

I've got friends on line like E46M3, johny boiei and DaRude. PM here, PM there.

Some people played bowling on friday. Some are meeting up for coffee in the evenings.

They had a going away dinner for Ducky.

Check out the QL Groups, and you might see something that's interesting for you.

I'm pretty sure you'll gonna get along with us here. Get it on!

Cheers,

Shav

You're in the rite place, you can hook up with any of the groups on here, they'll be more than happy to have you.

BTW, isn't your Inbox loaded with offers already? If not, lemme know, I'll start, by offering you company... lol!!!

...There are groups of QLers who meet on a semi regular basis. I've been here for months but it's taking getting together with the QL folks to really get me going out. I'm really not much of a boozer anymore so the bars mostly just bore me.

Welcome and good luck...
