QL Gathering - Beach BBQ - Update

smoke
By smoke

Last month I had posted a thread about organizing a beach BBQ for all the new comers in Qatar and on Ql as well as to try and gather up the senior citizens of Ql that I've not seen in a long time. I offered to do all the arrangements for you from A to Z, all you had to do was SHOW UP. Unfortunately or Fortunately the weather turned out to ruin things and the event was canceled.

BUT...needless to say I'm pretty disappointed with the lack of interest it generated after all the cribbing and crying i kept seeing on Ql about having "gatherings" and "social meet ups" and about how you guys want to find and make "friends".

So with that in mind let me just say that we have decided yesterday at the coffee meet up that we are going to cancel the beach BBQ.

Hence forth I'm not going to organize any more meetups either. If you want to make friends get out and do it yourself I'm sure everyone is very capable of doing so.

To those that paid me for the trip, you guys have my number give me a buzz anytime over the weekend and I'll meet you to return it. :)

Thank you and have a nice weekend.

PinkPaw - and I thought we were bad being here two years and not socialising much! Haha!

As I said earlier in the thread my greatest competition for my husband's mostly one day off on Fridays is the Australian Rugby season kicking off. But he can be reluctantly persuaded - yes I have ways and means! LOL

It would be good to organise some sort of get together especially now the weather is about to turn Spring-ish! :)

I do one to ones now, no more open meet ups. Open meet ups are too time consuming and you never get a chance to have a decent conversation. So please do PM for a one to one meet up..:)

Rizks that does not apply to you..:)

Rizks

Smokey, i think now a days people of Fed of the same ol coffee and muffins which we get at those outlets there, why not try something New ?

Try 'Rizks Romantic Emporium' for Karak Chai along with oily Parotas, Pappadums and Gooseberries...:)

By Captain_Lost• 8 Mar 2012 09:32
Captain_Lost

Suggestions and Suggestions and then more lame excuses.. but nobody actually shows up

I guess people on QL are just good enough to talk only

Someone's meets an accident on their tricycles.. others forget ... and some are just too afraid to meet new people..

I think you made the right to decision, smoke...

By smoke• 8 Mar 2012 09:29
smoke

are we going to have a match between captain and ingen now :P please say yes...weekend is upon us i need to see/do something exciting.

By Captain_Lost• 8 Mar 2012 09:28
Captain_Lost

ingandmerimaro.... i believe you were suppose to come last night.. but then i heard some one else came on you .. ??

and you are most welcome to "win" some games from me ;)

By smoke• 8 Mar 2012 09:26
smoke

metoyou makes no difference, if someone wants to just come and observe and see who is who they can still get the venue through pm and show up, or come to the meet up and give us some false id. End of the day its a matter of personal choice who wants to socialize and who doesnt.

By metoyou• 8 Mar 2012 09:23
Rating: 3/5
metoyou

sorry to hear that smoke.. my suggestion is that maybe you or we can create a group or start with a small group that is already trusted here in QL. It's like building a strong foundation of friendship that everyone can benefit. Maybe it's better if we could avoid also few things:

1. Posting the venue in public(maybe it's better so send it through pm the venue only to those who confirm to come.

2. Add only those who are serious about gathering not just the one who come and observe. (you know what i mean)

hope this would not be the end.

By ingeniero• 8 Mar 2012 09:09
ingeniero

So finally..!!! but around 27 confirmed on the main post of Beach BBQ.. Some just want to hide behind the screen, But doesn't matter, we can do coffee meetups, and Billiard meetups, and win some games from Captain_the_get_Lost

By khan222• 8 Mar 2012 08:59
khan222

guies social meets are great,, i think ,, do it for some cause ,, we are from different countries ,, in the country back there are many unprivileged people , needy , organize a meet and raise some fund to help do socializing for social cause,, 'smoke' you are good person who tried to gather people... please put an aim in each meet and surely you will feel happy and proud of yourself even people will not show interest in that......

By smoke• 8 Mar 2012 08:53
smoke

I have always done open meet ups and never concentrated on any "group" of people. Seeing the type of nutters that keep posting on Ql discourages some long time members from coming for fear of running into these type of people.

Guess the only way to go about this is the old fashioned way. Interact with people on the forum, if you click with a person just send them a pm and meet up.

By alien_guest• 8 Mar 2012 08:51

OH YA by the way HAPPY HOLI Everyone(Indian festival).

hats-off off to you Helen...:)

there Smokey - u see now ? We still have people who dont give a rat s**it abt anything and just wanna join to socialize and meet new people around !

Lol ArieL

By HelenMS• 8 Mar 2012 08:40
HelenMS

Shame Smoke as I unfortunately don't check the QL forum often and was not aware that you were organising get-togethers! Of course the weather may have been a bit of a factor with people lacking in enthusiasm as we seem to have had lots of cooler days lately.

My husband has fallen into working almost 6 days again - Safety Mgr - so it is hard to get him out on his only day off - Friday! - particularly now the Australian Rugby season has started! LOL.

But if you do decide to do something again or you hear of someone else having a "do", please PM me? Would love to meet some fellow expats - we've been here nearly two years ashamed to say and not done a lot of socialising for one reason or another! High time for a change I reckon! :)

Will check QL more regularly now!

By cherukkan• 8 Mar 2012 08:35

smokey, there were a lot of QLers who enjoyed meeting other QLers in coffee meets and similar gatherings. Unfortunately most of them are either left or are hibernating (as mentioned by baldy). Now a days all the newbies are good in posting their urge for a gathering but none of them are really interested for it.

I skipped it because of other meetings and usually I will be busy on Thursday and Friday nights.

smoke missed out the 6th idiot. Sir. Rizkz. :)

By alien_guest• 8 Mar 2012 08:24
alien_guest

Thats most unfortunate Smoke i would have come but since i am travelling tommorow needed to make arrangements/purchases.

I feel many people dont like to go out and meet new people in person these days( unless they are told that there will be many hotties...).But hope we can still have small outings/sheishas, drinks etc etc.....

By Rizks• 8 Mar 2012 08:22
Rizks

but smokey, u didnt had to quit for some nutters - right ?

U can still organize and meet new people along with some Ol ones...who ever wants let them join and whoever feels like hiding behind the screen let them be - atleast for some u cannot stop meeting new people and discovering new things and info around !

just my thoughts !

By Captain_Lost• 8 Mar 2012 08:22
Captain_Lost

Right decision Smoke.. eff it !!

By smoke• 8 Mar 2012 08:15
smoke

My point exactly...rizks no one's asking anyone to even reveal who u are on QL you can just show up have a good time and leave.

By Rizks• 8 Mar 2012 08:08
Rizks

OK, i know i dont attend most of the social meet-ups tat doesnt meant i am against such meet-ups...:(

i dont understand wats the harm in social meetups ?

After all you tend to meet new people, share ur ideas, chit-chat,make friends and GO....:(

No one is going to gulp you completely like a snake whenever u attend such meetups- right ? :(

Uk its not easy, but then again i enjoyed doing it coz I liked meeting new people and i have met a LOT of my friends through QL social meet ups, i made the effort to go out and meet new people. I guess not everyone thinks this way or would prefer to hide behind the screen.

hmmm

social meetups were good for u guys...i think such gatherings were happening on QL since many years.dont know whether there is any disadvantage of this..

anyway you must have considered some valid reasons/points before taking this decision. so good decision.

Umm...can u list down the qlers in 'Idiot' and "quality" groups plz ? :)

I suppose with all the "idiots" that keep posting on QL, i cant blame people for not wanting to get out in the open to socialize. QL has been going downhill for a while we all know that, just a hand full of "quality" ql'ers left around here.
