My boss told me " you are fired"

I told him " boss i didnt hear the shot"

And one more member to keep the outrageous threads more exciting. Just don't buy Land Cruisers. You will be condemmed by curse.

avoid too much expectations...what you might read and heard aint not always true...

see for yourself...little advice : expect the worst

Thanks again for all your welcomes and advice, and only one negative comment-not nearly enough to put me off :)

All the best Irish ! Come with an open mind and loads and loads of patience.

*Bunga*

lol thanks for your replies everyone, just can't wait to arrive now and see everything that I've heard so much about!! :)

don't forget to bring your SENSE of HUMOUR with you. You'll need it in dealing with crazy drivers on the road, when dealing with sales persons at the shops/malls or your teaboy at the office :-)

while applying nail polish,,,try not to forgoet to apply some on your finger and toenails...lol

I'll try that when i buy another can opener...by payday...lol

the water is turning your can openers rusty.

try applying NAIL POLISH to your cans errr can opener...lol

But I find myself buying 2 can openers in one year. Either the handle breaks or the screw gets loosen up or the blade gets all dull and rusty (eekk...clostridium botulinum = lockjaw)

Now I buy canned goods with easy open tabs...hehehehe

What to bring? Bring me a carton of Carrols for a start, And 5Kg of Irish bacon(vacuum packs)White puddin' and if youve any space left a nice hunk of soda bread wont go amiss. PM me when you get here....LOL. Welcome!

missed out the most important thing to bring.............A sense of humour.

try ACME brand of can openers....

A can opener? ;-P

seriously, You're coming over when Ramadan is about to start which means, you'll be working shorter hours and would have to cook your meals at home/accommodation as all establishments serving food won't be open until after the 6PM/breaking of their fast.

men's clothes?...your business suits or office attire. Unless you're picky, you could always buy what you need as there are shops/malls here.

OOOpsss...BTW, if you're taking medications or prefer a certain brand of medicine for colds, fever or flu...may I suggest you bring some with you. You can't buy antibiotics without prescriptions here.

Any other suggestions, guys?

irishmiler,,,try to remember "beauty with a purpose,beauty with brains"....lol

just be ready...wheres the friggin' welcoming committee?

lower your expectations......better still, don't have any.

and be prepare it totally different from UK,

I'm sorry!! Really I thought you were a guy for some reason. Ok - bring Playgirls?? :0)

Whatever you vividly imagine, Ardently desire, Sincerely believe and Enthusiastically act upon, Must inevitably come to pass.

Shame! You will be arriving during Ramadan. Not the best time to arrive. O well, bring as many packets of bacon as you can and Playboy magazines!

Err, Tucky, I don't want you to be tacky. Shorts are fine for schoolboys and the beach but not for everday wear. Besides, you'll get a second-degree burn on the backs of your legs if you try to get into a car and frostbite if you visit a mall or restaurant.

Mandi

just come n u b surprised :d

` c h i n g a A a l i n g `

hot humid environment here consider this in your mind

yes QL and that too...

mamille is right...patience u must have that...anyway goodluck...

Yes Tucky,

As long as you 'tuck in', do not leave it hanging out!!

Does that affect me as a man?

Am I okay in t-shirt and shorts generally?

Looking forward to exploring Qatar!

... and loads and loads of sanity ;)

PLEASE BRING COMMON SENSE.......

For the rest, I just don't care...

just don't wear revealing clothes and you'll be okay...what else to bring, loads and loads of patience ;)
