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.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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!

And firstly, welcome aboard Scottish...

 

And secondly, so unfair you have to get 50 points to join the social gatherings....sheeeesh...

 

Anyways, back to scottish, yep mate...hang around...unlike previous years, Doha has pretty much grown up to considerable standards and does offer some good time pass...or more correctly, some leisure activites...

 

The next time we get out we'll let you know...

 

Till the next time, have fun, keep talking to us, and you will know the rest...and hey buddy, keep giving your salary some occasional justice (By Working ! ! !...LOL)...

 

Cheers...
