Oh, right. So Q-Tel sends me a message saying the parade is at 8am AFTER the Peninsula has said it has been rescheduled from 8am to "the evening" whatever time that may be (it probably won't go down too well with the parachutists), while the guys with the camels told me a couple of days ago that they would be parading past someone at 2.30pm.
Doesn't anybody have an official, up-to-date schedule of events ... or is it just the usual nobody (not even the organisers) knows what's happening scenario?
It's amazing. I can sit in Qatar and plan a day out at an event in Britain six months in advance, turn up and everything is happening as expected. Here I can't get usable information on the biggest state-organised event of the year 48 hours in advance.
