Hey I´m from Halmstad too!!! I´m really looking forward to go now, since I found this site I feel like I´m already there! I´m at work so I´ve gotta go! But it was really nice to get a reply!!

hey i am young boy aged 20 and i would like to make many good , trustworthy friends in qatar. and i have been here abt 3 months so i dont know more abt qatar. so i would like to know more abt you i am residing in Mugalina and Working in GUlf street as secreta in private company..My phone no.4317400...call frm monday and i will expect ur call or mail([email protected])
Actually i registered from a long time but this is my first time to see this topic .. It's really very lovely to make friends from all over the world .. i'm a Dot Net Programmer but for some reasons i'm working here as a clerk .. i'm also guitarist .. plz no body ask me to play anything in a party or somthing cuz i just get nervous very fast n propably will make too much mistakes .. I worked as a graphic designer for 2 years .. some body tell me wut is the exact name and i'll make a logo n funny pics for t-shirts n caps .. that would be my pleasure .. i know where n how to design n print .. i need somebody to support it with money .. lol ..
I am from Palestine, loking for an opportunity to work in Qatar. Yeah, it's my favourite country after the UAE. It's very wonderful and has good economy. I am looking for real friends there who could tell me how wonderful life is in Qatar, for, as far as I know, Qatar is worth to live in.
Be not niggardly of what costs you nothing, as courtesy, council and countenance
I appreciate the advice, and I may well check out the RC tonight. I know my wife is a big hesitant to go out in Doha, after our Ramada incident, but I will see if she is up for it. My wife is a Filipina-Canadian, born and raised in Vancouver, Canada, but in the Ramada she was getting a lot of looks as if she was "new meat" in a sea of Filipina "companions". It wasn't nearly as bad as this in the Emirates, so hopefully the rugby club will be a bit less stressful for her.
My wife and I just arrived in Doha from the west coast of Canada, and while we are more than happy with the job and general living situations, we are a bit at a loss to find a decent crowd to hang with. We are younger than all the fogies in our compound and the few cool folks there dragged us to see a band at the Ramada the other night, which featured some rather amaturish singers in red spandex hooor-suits. Pretty racy outfits, but whatever helps take the focus off the ladies' adam's apples!!!
Anyway, we could definately be up for some QUIF. We went to Rydges, briefly the other night, and it seemed ok. But I am not sure what to compare it to.
hi der,,,,me new ...jus wana kno.. hav u guyz/galz had ny parties...wud lik 2 join dis group....let me kno abt da party stuf nd all dos shit.....til den bbi....cya ..tak care ...chil out...
I am trying to decide whether or not to accept that same position with ITT as a mechanic. Have you made it to Qatar yet? My main concern is the working conditions..first off I was told I would be working 12hrs 6 days a week, with about the same monthly income as you listed, so with that much work the money isn't really that good. Not sure how you talked them into 5days a week..If that were the case it would make my decision much easier. I'm hoping that with housing and food allowance I can save alot of it though. Anyone know if this works tends to be indoors, or am I out in the weather all day long. I'm not sure I can hack a qatari summer if I have to spend it all outside?
Yeah, if it's a 4-bedroom villa, and the total for the villa is around QR 16,000 a month, that works out to QR 4,000 per person. Not bad. Let me know when you have found out something...
I will ask about the other rooms and what i can do with them such as renting them like you are asking about...and yes it has cable internet and tv service. I havent heard anything about a phone though. I just sent an email to the contact i have with the company in qatar and i will probably hear back from him in about 2 days. That is normally how long it takes him to get back with me
I dont know where the exact location of the villa yet as i am still getting information about the whole job/career thing. Yes it is brand new from what i hear and fully furnished. One of the bedrooms is a office, there is a living room, kitchen, dining room, and extra bedrooms. My roommate here in the US has moved to Qatar and did the exact thing that i will be doing and he said the villas they get are really nice. I just have to work really long hours every day. 6:00am till 6:30pm 5 days a week
The Company i will actually be working for is called ITT and they subcontract for the military...I will be a humvee mechanic and they pay 3400 us dollars every two weeks and its all tax free which is awsome...they pay for living and transportation and give me 30 us dollars a day for food. That is why i am going over there, so i can just save tons of money because they pay for everything. I want to live in a new place to i have always been in nice places...for i have lived on the beach in florida my whole life. I think the military pays for a 4 bedroom villa for me and i can share it with whom ever i want.
I'm actually coming from Toronto, Canada. Any good villas you can think of to share? Must be in a nice area and must be new..have you thought of your living arrangements so far?
I am moving from Clearwater, FL. in the US. I have no idea how to ease the transition....except just going over there settling in the going out and meeting people to hang out with and possible relationships with. But i hear bad things about how all the guys treat woman horribly so i am afraid that i will have a bad reputation to start off with even though i am one of the nicest guys
I am moving in about two months!!!! I cant wait i am so excited about the big change of moving from the US all the way on the other side of the world. LOL i havent even been out of the country so this will be interesting.
But can I join the club? I read only the last page of the thread so don't really know what name u guys selected or who is coming or not, but sure it looks like a fun thing to do, n that's to meet ppl from the Net who will pay for my dinner ;)
Am fairly new to Qatar Living. (Qatari - great job is setting this up.. finally a local venting line.....!)
I like the idea of cheesy (Keep coming across cheesy references and pitches in my line of work) but not with Q..please no! Don't we have enough Q's already???
Best one I heard was a pitch for Q-con!! (Qatar construction!)
Let's try a khaleeji thing - The Harakat Habarbash????.. ok just kidding but please no Q's..
I believe being Coy is wise decision even if a person is not coy by nature..I would always prefer private chat room discussion before getting published anywhere..
Its nice to jump into strangers when its just out of courtesy..but when you are looking at people meeting each other as a club or meeting often..I would "choose" to be coy..
I absolutely cannot come tonight. Work has gotten in the way and I will be in meetings till who knows what time tonight. Sorry guys, I was really looking forward to it. Maybe we can try for during the week sometime next week? Or next weekend?
Nah, seems like Mr. QCat's mind is firmly made up regarding our weekend plans. My apologies for having to pass this wonderful opportunity to meet you all, and I hope you guys have a great time!
There are certain members in the forum who are keen to chat...Here is an idea...
Create a Yahoo ID..A new one if you are not keen to get your regular one disturbed by it...and lets chat at Yahoo...
Though I wont be able to chat from office...Evenings are fine....
I have just found a weird handle(name) to start chatting...
Drop me a line at [email protected] and those who are hesitant to send their IDs here.. ..We can decide how we want others to join in......Please while you Email make sure that you mention the Qatarliving handle so that I know whom I am chatting with....
I am a business journalist, having relocated to Doha in this May. I am an Indian by nationality. I am also looking out to make friends here. what really happened to the friendship club some of your were planning. I am quite eager to any sort of association with any club.
And, I do not have to hide my name and identity as i am going to be in public domain soon, and who knows I may even meet you without knowing you. So, please inform me of any such meetings in future on my mail id [email protected], and my mobile number is 5334314.
yo folks can i join 2? b4 "ok!" add baps that will make 7 and if u wanna include mr journalist too. i might b a lil younger than u guys, but can i MJ? Mr J chillies is somewhere near the pizza corner. best and safe way 2 reach dere is by takin a cab. karwas r comfy. tell em tak me 2 the chilies restaurant near the Ramada junction. n after goin thro d traffic u will fin ur self dere. gud luck

If a chatroom isn't feasible, maybe a private message function. Than those interested can share their contact info privatly and just add each other to their MSN Messenger or Yahoo Messenger.
We should request qatari to launch a chat room..or we can also publish our other Chatroom IDs..and start chatting...But please..no boring political topics.
I'd say it's best to stick with Chillis. If there are people who want to go elsewhere later than thats fine, but lets stick with a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. :)
I would love join the group !! Any probleam if i dont understand everything ??? My english is better but of course i need more practice and at the moment i am in home all the time.
Im realy sory to be late in my reply .. but im realy busy in this period becouse im going to open internet caf'e and im now in the final stages , i hope we can bring this idea to life as soon as possiple , and i think if we do that in good way im sure it will be the most wonderfull idea , and then we can improve this .
This is why I was suggesting a bar, than everyone could get really drunk and not remember each other in the morning, therefore keeping our anonoimity intact. Unfortunately Muslims don't drink alcohol, which is good for them, but which ruins my blackout idea.
Perhaps you can show up in a costume Super. I think it's hot enough in what I wear now to put any more clothes on.
Who else wants to join! We can be the cool group on Qatarliving who actually knows what each of us looks like and what are real names are...Of course this means I'll have to watch what I say to you guys from now on...or make sure you don't find out where I live. :) kidding.
I reitirate that I have no life. Thursday would be better for me though, since I get off work a little earlier. Also I don't work Friday so I can stay out past my bedtime :P
LOL well as long as we agree on Chilis as a venue, that's a start. Maybe now someone could come up with the time? I can't make it today or tomorrow - already booked :^) But any other time during the week should be fine. Dohagirl, what says you?
uh huh, Lol. QUIF shirts and hats, heh. Seems like someone with photoshop skills could do a pretty good job with that and get them printed onto plain shirts, for that matter. Just an idea.
Ah well, As much as i'd like to come, I doubt if there would be anyone my age, so slash me out. HF.
I once played for the Korean Ultimate National Team (KUNT) I also played for the Korea's Less Intense Team (KLIT) I have hats and shirts for both of them, that I wear proudly.
I can't go to Chilli's tonight unfortunatly, I made plans to go out with a friend which is why I was trying to get all of you to go where we are going. Sometime during the week next week would be cool for me.
i think since you all want to make t-shirts i have thought of one that would be sold and could be internationally wanted now that i think FCUK is getting old
anyway it is Qatari Union of National T???? cant think of some thinging for that
Call it "The Qatar Expat" . It has a music lounge, bar, snooker corner and a coffee house. Now, that is somewhere I want to be after work. Not a friendship club. It's too childish a name for a place to be.
I think that sounds like a great idea, but why don't we put it off till sometime next week so we have more time to discuss where, and when and who wants to come. Because I have to leave the office soon and I won't be near a computer (hopefully) for the rest of the day.
I see your point Qcat, i does depend on how strict they are being and girls will normally be fine but as it will be mostly non members tonight anyway they might be a bit stricter.
Sorry. Don't give up though!!
Better to come during the rugby season (sept to Apr) then you can watch a game and it is pretty busy.
Ha, my boss just told me that Rugby Club is "cliquey" and you can't buy booze - you have to buy a book of tickets and then exchange the tickets for drinks. Should be fun :D
Can we come up with a really cheezy name like the Happy Sunshine Expat Club or something. :) I'll only join if we have a cheezy name...and if there is hot guys.
Qatar's winter months are brimming with unmissable experiences, from the AFC Asian Cup 2023 to the World Aquatics Championships Doha 2024 and a variety of outdoor adventures and cultural delights.

Hopefully, I'll see youz there!
don't go to garvey's it is like something from phoenix nights. Don't go to the ramada on thursday.
Intercon is best but drinks very expensive
Yes Hannibal try the Rugby club tonight. Sammie will be there. You don't want to miss that.
There is Garveys, rugby club and a few others! Do not go to the Ramada strange place!
Try the rugby club tonight or tomorrow i think are the best nights you can find it on the map! Also Garveys same nights
Hi folks,
My wife and I just arrived in Doha from the west coast of Canada, and while we are more than happy with the job and general living situations, we are a bit at a loss to find a decent crowd to hang with. We are younger than all the fogies in our compound and the few cool folks there dragged us to see a band at the Ramada the other night, which featured some rather amaturish singers in red spandex hooor-suits. Pretty racy outfits, but whatever helps take the focus off the ladies' adam's apples!!!
Anyway, we could definately be up for some QUIF. We went to Rydges, briefly the other night, and it seemed ok. But I am not sure what to compare it to.
Keep us posted!
hi der,,,,me new ...jus wana kno.. hav u guyz/galz had ny parties...wud lik 2 join dis group....let me kno abt da party stuf nd all dos shit.....til den bbi....cya ..tak care ...chil out...
hi doha girl!
I am trying to decide whether or not to accept that same position with ITT as a mechanic. Have you made it to Qatar yet? My main concern is the working conditions..first off I was told I would be working 12hrs 6 days a week, with about the same monthly income as you listed, so with that much work the money isn't really that good.

Anyone know if this works tends to be indoors, or am I out in the weather all day long. I'm not sure I can hack a qatari summer if I have to spend it all outside?
letz have the name as "Doha Dudes"
Yeah, if it's a 4-bedroom villa, and the total for the villa is around QR 16,000 a month, that works out to QR 4,000 per person. Not bad. Let me know when you have found out something...
I will ask about the other rooms and what i can do with them such as renting them like you are asking about...and yes it has cable internet and tv service. I havent heard anything about a phone though. I just sent an email to the contact i have with the company in qatar and i will probably hear back from him in about 2 days. That is normally how long it takes him to get back with me
So how much would it cost me to rent a single fully furnished room in your villa with a private bathroom? Do I go through you or someone else?
Also, is there cable, internet and TV available? Try to find out the exact location of the villa and get back to me -- thanks...
I dont know where the exact location of the villa yet as i am still getting information about the whole job/career thing. Yes it is brand new from what i hear and fully furnished. One of the bedrooms is a office, there is a living room, kitchen, dining room, and extra bedrooms. My roommate here in the US has moved to Qatar and did the exact thing that i will be doing and he said the villas they get are really nice. I just have to work really long hours every day. 6:00am till 6:30pm 5 days a week
Not bad; so is this 4-bedroom villa brand new? what's the location? and what sort of rental rates are you looking at monthly?
The Company i will actually be working for is called ITT and they subcontract for the military...I will be a humvee mechanic and they pay 3400 us dollars every two weeks and its all tax free which is awsome...they pay for living and transportation and give me 30 us dollars a day for food. That is why i am going over there, so i can just save tons of money because they pay for everything. I want to live in a new place to i have always been in nice places...for i have lived on the beach in florida my whole life. I think the military pays for a 4 bedroom villa for me and i can share it with whom ever i want.
I'm actually coming from Toronto, Canada. Any good villas you can think of to share? Must be in a nice area and must be new..have you thought of your living arrangements so far?
I am moving from Clearwater, FL. in the US. I have no idea how to ease the transition....except just going over there settling in the going out and meeting people to hang out with and possible relationships with. But i hear bad things about how all the guys treat woman horribly so i am afraid that i will have a bad reputation to start off with even though i am one of the nicest guys
I'll be there in a month too! Let's get together and plan on how to smoothen our transition!
I am moving in about two months!!!! I cant wait i am so excited about the big change of moving from the US all the way on the other side of the world. LOL i havent even been out of the country so this will be interesting.
you guys started the club? whats its name? no threads ... it seems everybody on vacation ....
But can I join the club? I read only the last page of the thread so don't really know what name u guys selected or who is coming or not, but sure it looks like a fun thing to do, n that's to meet ppl from the Net who will pay for my dinner ;)
So count me in, if all is free of charge :)
Who are u Bibliophile? :) abee at3arraf ...
Hi guys,
Am fairly new to Qatar Living. (Qatari - great job is setting this up.. finally a local venting line.....!)
I like the idea of cheesy (Keep coming across cheesy references and pitches in my line of work) but not with Q..please no! Don't we have enough Q's already???
Best one I heard was a pitch for Q-con!! (Qatar construction!)
Let's try a khaleeji thing - The Harakat Habarbash????.. ok just kidding but please no Q's..
That's true. ;)
Sorry DG but who else is going to!?
very sad indeed. nyway might aswell go and play some baskeball. i wonder people even wants to meet at all........oder den da ladies tea group.
Well that was nice... everybody backed off... Good I checked otherwise I would have been there asking people , r u from Qatarliving.
Could not connect as I was moving to qatar and ramada hotel charges millions to log on to the net.
Sad, very sad.
Beast666 is disappointed
Don't flatter yourself Super.
Marjorie DG likes teasing me. Cute isn't it!
I believe being Coy is wise decision even if a person is not coy by nature..I would always prefer private chat room discussion before getting published anywhere..
Its nice to jump into strangers when its just out of courtesy..but when you are looking at people meeting each other as a club or meeting often..I would "choose" to be coy..
Coy is my middle name Marjorie. ;) Actually I just like teasing Super.
Really sorry guys but its a client you can't really say no to.
Very Well ...
Sounds like we should postpone!
Well, I don't know who is comming and who is not .. I'm confused now.
QatarCat, DohaGirl and Sandra won't come as I expected :) (talk talk talk and then suddenly cancel).
I don't what's the status with Beast666, he didn't respond for some time.
So what do you think Marjori? Shall we meet or shall we postpond it? ....
Looks like I'll be able to make it tonight!
Will there just be a gaggle of people outside at 8? I'm already feeling nervous about walking up to stranger and saying, "Um, do I know you?"
Alas, unlike Dohagirl I have been less than coy with both my name AND my face. So you all should be able to tell which one I am. :-)
Maybe DohaGirl .. maybe,
I absolutely cannot come tonight. Work has gotten in the way and I will be in meetings till who knows what time tonight. Sorry guys, I was really looking forward to it. Maybe we can try for during the week sometime next week? Or next weekend?
Hey guys !!! I am moving today to a new house so i am not sure if i can join you tonight ... Next time for sure bye bye
oh well i'm 16 even tho i have a 25 year old brain i don't think i'll find anyone around my age :p so i'll just join the chatrooms :)
So what about tomorrow night DohaGirl? :)
So what about tomorrow night DohaGirl? :)
Nah, seems like Mr. QCat's mind is firmly made up regarding our weekend plans. My apologies for having to pass this wonderful opportunity to meet you all, and I hope you guys have a great time!
I'll be waiting for the meeting feedback here :D
Lets chat...
There are certain members in the forum who are keen to chat...Here is an idea...
Create a Yahoo ID..A new one if you are not keen to get your regular one disturbed by it...and lets chat at Yahoo...
Though I wont be able to chat from office...Evenings are fine....
I have just found a weird handle(name) to start chatting...
Drop me a line at [email protected] and those who are hesitant to send their IDs here.. ..We can decide how we want others to join in......Please while you Email make sure that you mention the Qatarliving handle so that I know whom I am chatting with....
Or Is MSN better??
Your comments are welcome...
Regards...
tg1234 is dead..long live tg...
Go ahead. The more the merrier.
I could make it if I were to bring Mr. QCat along. What do you say?
Qatarcat!!! I'm very disappointed. :). Have fun at whatever you are doing.
Well, 1 goes 7 left. And the number will decreament until the cancelation :)
But looks like Mr. QCat has a plan of his own for Thursday evening, and there's no way I could escape it. Blah

Right!
So lets review the list:
Beast666, DohaGirl, QatarCat, Ace_11, Sandra and I. Ok! :D
IM in
I'm am sticking ..
With ya Beast666 :)
Guys lets not suggest other places at this time....
Chili's near Ramada
Thursday @ 2000
Maybe if it turns out well.. next time we can try another place.
Beast666
I'm inetersted DohaGirl ;)
If a chatroom isn't feasible, maybe a private message function. Than those interested can share their contact info privatly and just add each other to their MSN Messenger or Yahoo Messenger.
No problem TG ;)
Mj..
I support You...
We should request qatari to launch a chat room..or we can also publish our other Chatroom IDs..and start chatting...But please..no boring political topics.
You know what Chaps??
I think we need chatting room ....
;)
Oh.
No one said you were invited anyway :P.
And I'm not here again! So no fancy dress.
The big reveal of Super7's true identity must wait.
If there are people who want to go for a pint after Chilli's than you can defintely count me in for that too.
Oh and my friend is coming to I think. SO that would be 8?
I'm in again, then :D
I'd say it's best to stick with Chillis. If there are people who want to go elsewhere later than thats fine, but lets stick with a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. :)
I'll take your word for it... and I'll pass still :p
Qcat le manor at sofitel is actually quite nice. Big leather chairs and decent steak
Chaps! We don't wanna make any changes now .. 8:00pm thursday at Chilis ....
Thuersday 8:00pm at Chilis
Now we are 7...
For anyone who want to suggest another place, it is better we all meet at Chillis first and then we can discuss another place.
Ummm count me out then. Sofitel is not my kind of a place, at all. Sorry folks.
pint be it then..
could do with a cold pint
The Le Manor Steak Inn in Sofitel Hotel welcomes Qataris..
For those who would like to have a drink and chat, may I suggest Le Manor.
Sorry, I don't drink Lixie :)
If some of you want to drink and others don't, then why not go to Mercure (Sofitel) they welcome Qataris, then whoever wants a drink can have one?
havn been 2 chilies 4 a while. count me in. dat makes us 6.
ramada signal chilies 8pm got it. :) cyaz
Hiya Sandra!
Well, seems that setting at home is a bit boring eh? OFCOURSE you can join us! So we are five now.
Cheers!
I would love join the group !! Any probleam if i dont understand everything ??? My english is better but of course i need more practice and at the moment i am in home all the time.
S.
Im realy sory to be late in my reply .. but im realy busy in this period becouse im going to open internet caf'e and im now in the final stages , i hope we can bring this idea to life as soon as possiple , and i think if we do that in good way im sure it will be the most wonderfull idea , and then we can improve this .
see you later
Sorry MJ, I get so carried away :P.
We need emoticons on this site so I can use the one with the rolling eyes so I can show when I'm being sarcastic. :)
DohaGirl , take it easy :D
Everything will be just OK! :)
This is why I was suggesting a bar, than everyone could get really drunk and not remember each other in the morning, therefore keeping our anonoimity intact. Unfortunately Muslims don't drink alcohol, which is good for them, but which ruins my blackout idea.
Perhaps you can show up in a costume Super. I think it's hot enough in what I wear now to put any more clothes on.
What I look like!! My real name!!! You are not selling it at all.
Perhaps a costume party
cos I´m in Spain... Maybe next one...
Who else wants to join! We can be the cool group on Qatarliving who actually knows what each of us looks like and what are real names are...Of course this means I'll have to watch what I say to you guys from now on...or make sure you don't find out where I live. :) kidding.
Oh cammon ButterFly, why not?
Cool!
So, Beast666, QatarCat, DohaGirl and I agreed on Thuersday 8:00pm at Chilis! Good job mates! we are 4 now!
Cheers! :D
Wish I could join...
Have fun everyone
:P
Thursday 8pm is fine with me too...
No objection, but I though we agreed to meet at Chilis eh?
So, Thursday at 8:00pm infront of Chilis?
Arrival Time === 2000
Place Ramada Junction ?? objection anyone...
hala
wt u think abt "Qtz" or "Dohax". WICH CHILIES BY D WAY?
I reitirate that I have no life. Thursday would be better for me though, since I get off work a little earlier. Also I don't work Friday so I can stay out past my bedtime :P
I don't mind either for Tuesday or thursday :)
Duhhh... We'll never agree. Thursday is fine, but I am sure someone else will say they can't make it on Thursday :p
I agree with you beast, weekend is preferable.
Lets do it thursday night....
I will be glad to join any gathering, Tuesday is fine for me and also the time.
About the name I think it should be QHell :) we are in the summer :P
That's a start :^)
I say 7:30 Tuesday ...
LOL well as long as we agree on Chilis as a venue, that's a start. Maybe now someone could come up with the time? I can't make it today or tomorrow - already booked :^) But any other time during the week should be fine. Dohagirl, what says you?
I have no life outside work, anytime is good for me. :)
I think we won't agree about an appointment for gathering ...
Come on Chaps! This is seriuos :)
guys can anybody join ??
Lets keep it during the weekend may be thursday or friday ....
Beast666
by any chance are u doing the serving for that 'special dinner for ladies' ? :-)
uh huh, Lol. QUIF shirts and hats, heh. Seems like someone with photoshop skills could do a pretty good job with that and get them printed onto plain shirts, for that matter. Just an idea.
Ah well, As much as i'd like to come, I doubt if there would be anyone my age, so slash me out. HF.
I read it as 700QR a month, I can defintely afford 700QR a year. Now I just have to learn to play rugby...once the season starts again.
Bar is better during rugby season as I said to Qcat. Will be quite quiet this time of year.
Dohagirl it is QR700 a year not a month.
Very cheap
Well, Tuesday is alright for me too .. but when?
I'm not a member of the Rugby Club.:( to poor to pay the 700QR a month. I just hear it has a relly good bar, and I'm sick of the all the hotel bars.
Very funny laudgi.
Don't know you then Dohagirl. I was looking for an H.
If you are in Rugby club you can sign everyone else in no problem BTW.
!
Next week during the week is cool with me too. Lets say Tuesday at Chilis?
I once played for the Korean Ultimate National Team (KUNT) I also played for the Korea's Less Intense Team (KLIT) I have hats and shirts for both of them, that I wear proudly.
I can't go to Chilli's tonight unfortunatly, I made plans to go out with a friend which is why I was trying to get all of you to go where we are going. Sometime during the week next week would be cool for me.
I am NOT wearing that! :p
i think since you all want to make t-shirts i have thought of one that would be sold and could be internationally wanted now that i think FCUK is getting old
anyway it is Qatari Union of National T???? cant think of some thinging for that
i know people will take offence but ....anyways
Well, Chilis sounds really cool ... I'm with ya QatarCat but when?
I don't know Dohagirl ... when next week? or do you meen next weekened ... cause I might go for training course .. who knows ..
:D
Call it "The Qatar Expat" . It has a music lounge, bar, snooker corner and a coffee house. Now, that is somewhere I want to be after work. Not a friendship club. It's too childish a name for a place to be.
Rydges would be fine with me, but as there are Qatari people among us I don't think that a bar is a good idea :)
We could go to Chilis :p Fun atmosphere and not so constipated.
I think that sounds like a great idea, but why don't we put it off till sometime next week so we have more time to discuss where, and when and who wants to come. Because I have to leave the office soon and I won't be near a computer (hopefully) for the rest of the day.
Then, why don't we meet in some good resuarant? :)
Oh and Equni0x, isn't it a great abbrev. Thought that one all up on my own. Like I said, hats and t-shirts.
I don't think Qataris are allowed in the bars. :P I didn't think of that. I forget I'm in the Middle East sometimes...till I go outside and melt.
I neverbeen to Rydges but sounds inetersting. But I don't know if they allow Qataries in Bars (I don't drink). My first name starts with M
I don't know if we can talk in the phone ..
:D
Ahhh no Rugby Club. Rydges good with everyone than? It's the least sleazy of the Hotel Bars in my opinion.
Super, my frist name starts with E
Wowowo .. calm down people ..
So, where is it going to be? Where should we gather?? Come on makeup your minds ..
:(
So QUIF it is? Wow.. there'd be an abbrv. hard to remember, Lol. Btw, whats on the menu?!
That's a cool idea, All the best
Aha I thought as much, Super. Some other time, some other place, I guess.
=^..^=
I see your point Qcat, i does depend on how strict they are being and girls will normally be fine but as it will be mostly non members tonight anyway they might be a bit stricter.
Sorry. Don't give up though!!
Better to come during the rugby season (sept to Apr) then you can watch a game and it is pretty busy.
Thanks, but "just say you have a friend inside and go in and ask someone to sign you in" method doesn't appeal to me one bit.
So I guess I'll pass, unless we change the venue...
The chance to meet Dohagirl would normally be too good to miss but unfortunately I am at the rugby club ball tonight so can't make it.
Gutted
Dohagirl what letter does your first name begin with? I know a canadian in PR, well met one once so it might be you.
qatarcat you can use cash or credit cards at the rugby club
It will be very quiet there tonight though as it is the rugby club ball tonight which is at the ramada so none of the members will be there.
You are supposed to be a member or get signed in by a member but just say you have a friend inside and go in and ask someone to sign you in.
There is whatever kind of booze you want
Ha, my boss just told me that Rugby Club is "cliquey" and you can't buy booze - you have to buy a book of tickets and then exchange the tickets for drinks. Should be fun :D
I've never been either.
I think you can just pay a small cover at the door. The food is supposed to be alright.
I've never been there. Do you need to be a member?
I'm going there anyway, so I might as well kill to birds with one stone.
That's one possibility... a rather boring one, though
:^)
eemmm ... Apple Bee's ??
Great! Ideas?
Great. I say the first meeting of QUIFF will be tonight! Where and when people.
Ok, but all finance and money issue will be handled by ME :D
I'm in :p
Nah we are not getting out of hand.... yet.
I didn't think we were getting out of hand!
How about QUIF-Qatari Union of International Friends. :)
We could make hats and t-shirts
Why should we? :p
Wowowowo, girls .. take it easy ..
:P
Noway I would join a "Chaps Club"! You'll have to do better than that!
Dohagirl, I never said I won't join if there are hot guys :p Actually, hot guys could probably compensate for the lack of hilarious club name!
What Cat! You're not going to join if there's hot guys! :P
emmm .. how about Chaps Club??
LOL yeah that's like my initials - QC :D
Also stands for Quality Control.
I agree with Dohagirl - I'll only join if the name of the club is funny and cheesy enough :p
Well why don't we call it Q-Club ;) ? (Qatar Club)
Can we come up with a really cheezy name like the Happy Sunshine Expat Club or something. :) I'll only join if we have a cheezy name...and if there is hot guys.
Well, I see that you are an IT guy .. me too .. so we shall start a team now :D
