It is being neglected and this upsets me.

even if its not really the longest overall!

"When you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer...Superstition ain't the way, no no no..."

Stevie Wonder.

I think this was all one of the threads that got hijacked pretty fast. and maybe also the one that reached the fastest century. -:)

great.

for giving me the longest thread on the board. I don't see many bright additions to my Ten Top Tips for the Road, though...[ the one about wearing dark clothes at night deserves to be included, though.]

"Do what thou wilt". Probably explains the fairies as well.

Stop judging each other! It will not do any good to any of you!!!

It's not impressive!!! and it's not nice!!!

Do unto others, what you want to do unto you!!!

Could somebody explain these statements. Or does it have any meaning??

this thread is really funny. LOL

happy heart

drive safe because someone is waiting for you at home

Do unto others, what you want to do unto you!!!

These fairy is a symbol of light!!! Oooppsss!!! what happen to the fairy???

i just had a mild panic attack thinking about what life would be like on here without it.

i am declaring today National fairy day and will set-up a fairy folder in pictures in dedication to our much maligned and misunderstood flying ladies.

Loose the Fairy, or make it smaller so that it don't occupy so much screen space in here...

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

yes, the fairy is really annoying, especially wen checkin QL from work. i u r so insistent about keepin your fairy, atleast make it smaller so that it doesnt take up all that screen space!

How about IRSTBO?

Kiaras fairy now accounts for 7% of the internet.

The fairy has its own weather system.

Nasa are planning unmanned missions to determine where the fairy actually stops or if it is ever expanding like the universe.

The fairy mings.

I agree. I'm all for freedom of expression, but the fairy is frickin annoying.

Hello all

I am a very peaceful person and I enjoy reading QL although this is my new account since I lost the password of my previous account…… anyway even though I do not post a lot I just read and enjoy. But Today I have a request to make LOSE THE FAIRYYYYYY , whenever I want to enjoy reading at work and I open QL it gets on my nerves please lose it .

Thank you

Live to ride and ride to live.

I love the smell of napalmed fairies in the morning.

Reason you guys talk that way?

You guys are not men enough!!!Hmmm L.O.A. and L****s

Do unto others, what you want to do unto you!!!

These fairy is a symbol of light!!!

you guys just made me smile this lousy morning.

go on, this is real fun, after a long time on QL.

happy heart

drive safe because someone is waiting for you at home

I have checked with the PC department and you are not allowed to use the word fairy.

Perhaps the next poll on this site should be "Who thinks it's time to get rid of the stupid fairy." or something slightly more PC than that.

Todays "rules of the road" post is all about the love.

Its two thirds "happiness" sandwich with a one third spread of "lover not a fighter" jam.

But the fairy has to go.

Setupguy, She was sprinkling me with something as my cornflakes seem to be trying to climb out of the plate.

Maybe she should start talking to the man in the mirror... oops let's change that to woman...

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

on other posts you try to be peaceful and ask all people to calm down and not fight while here you are trying to bite heads off for a very silly reason! I did not attack you but you were very offensive.

Typical Hypocrisy. At least try to live by your own slogan

Were they sprinkling you with angel dust?

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

I kept having nightmares last night. I was getting attacked in my sleep by fairies with large exclamation marks. Large fairies.

Seriously... what's up with the fairy?

and oh... here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had some spare ones too...

Hey Rock... how's it going pal?

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

the poor little exclamation marks?

Anyway. You said to stealth that you tend to keep your saying do unto others what you want to do unto you, but this is happening to him because he is doing these things to others, so it goes back to him but I think it has gone round so much it is coming back to you and if you maybe offset it by not doing something onto an other it might rverse and you will end up doing unto others what you shouldn't have in the first place. Yes?

Here, have some exclamation marks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have some spare ones, I never really use them much anyway.

You're the one who wanted to minikmized (correction minimized) my fairy and you think it's toooooo boring!!!

Hmmm! you're boring person yourself you know nothing much intelligent things to say just a typical moaner and sarcastic. and you said I'm typical westerners? You poor thing! You know? I knew lots of Indian people and they are very Intelligent but unfortunately! you seems to be not one of them!!!

I tend to keep my saying do unto others what you want to do unto you, but this is happening to you because you are doing this things to others, so it goes back to you!!!

See you tomorrow!!!

Chao

Do unto others, what you want to do unto you!!!

These fairy is a symbol of light!!!

Privateer, tell your wife she's paranoid for no good reason or rather not confident enough and think my fairy looks more exciting than her!!!

And Stealth as far as I know, since I read all your nagging with the other block in the board you act like 7 years old fighting with hmmmm! let me think who's that other kid you're fighting with earlier!! Will get back after I check it out!!!

Do unto others, what you want to do unto you!!!

These fairy is a symbol of light!!!

some still think they are kids. Its difficult to get over that feeling. I suppose someone here is in need of some light.

SO since I do have ADSL I'm not poor?!! glad to know that I'm amongst the top notsh here in Doha - at least till the end of the month.

Anyway your signature istaking lot of space. My wife just thought I was watching cartoon porno pictures!!! give us a break please

Hmmm!!! I wonder if you know what you're saying. You have said lots of thing today!!! Why you're so het up???

You poor thing!!! You must be *** you like to argue with woman!!! and plays the victim and innocent.....

Do unto others, what you want to do unto you!!!

These fairy is a symbol of light!!!

"My hubby is college lecturer and he is nice and quiet, so please don't generalized people..."

Whos generalising now eh?

First they came for the surfers in the internet cafe and i said nothing......

Then they came for the surfers without the ADSL connection an I said nothing......

Then they came for the surfers who didn't know what L.O.A means (WTF) and again i said nothing.

Oh! you want people to be racist???

I don't want to be like you!!!

As much as I can hold my tongue I will!!!

You're not my match and I don't need to waste my time with you!!!

And my fairy says, breath deeply they are not worth it!!! hi! hi! hi!

Do unto others, what you want to do unto you!!!

These fairy is a symbol of light!!!

It looks like a typical western mentality. Come down from our pedestal and just look around how much space you are simply wasting............

There you go again. You think you are too intelligent. Or you seem to be living in a fool's paradise or is it that there is too much light in front of you that you are not able to see your monitor clearly?

You can't afford an ADSL? you're using net on a cafe and you're bored and who's preaching???

No wonder! you like to waste money on the cafe just to annoy people on the board hmmmm!!!

typical L.O.A's and N.S.P.

Do unto others, what you want to do unto you!!!

These fairy is a symbol of light!!!

its an irritant anyway and toooooo boring. if you cant stand this criticism then stop preaching................

Lose the fairy. Its sucking up all the bandwidth.

People in the internet cafe keep looking at me like I am checking out the Barbie website.

Better still, print it off and stick it on the front of your monitor.

Nobody tells anybody what to say or do!!!

People has their own mind, likes and dislikes!!!

If you have nothing more important to say or share just keep it to yourself!!!

Do unto others, what you want to do unto you!!!

These fairy is a symbol of light!!!

if the fairy is minikmized at least one will be able to view properly. its too much anyway.

Do you have a problem with the exclamation mark key on your computer?

You poor thing!!! Sorry no time for you!!!

You're definitely L.O.A. if you know what that means!!!

Do unto others, what you want to do unto you!!!

These fairy is a symbol of light!!!

If you want to share and care with people who want to know more about the fact of Living in Qatar you should go onto a website such as Qatar living......oh.

I am not upset it's just whenever I check this board I expect to hear from intelligent people who has lots of things to say, to share and to care with people who wants to know more about the fact of Living in Qatar.

Do unto others, what you want to do unto you!!!

These fairy is a symbol of light!!!

What started out as a mud-slinging match, as turned into a humourous post.... by the posters that were having a go at each other to start with....

I am with gypsey on this one.... Gonna make me(oopss, sorry Terramax), some popcorn... and sit back and enjoy the show....

Do unto others, what you want to do unto you!!!

These fairy is a symbol of light!!!

And please excuse using college lecturers that cause all the trouble!!!

My hubby is college lecturer and he is nice and quiet, so please don't generalized people...

What happen to this board???

People are run out of things to talk about???

Stop judging each other! It will not do any good to any of you!!!

It's not impressive!!! and it's not nice!!!

Okey! wait for another topic I'm just about to post, hang on!!!

someones getting a little pinged over here?

Its always the college lecturers that cause all the trouble.

No, I was the guy who called you "bhanchodd" when you were ...ing your bicycle in the middle of the street.

I'm wondering... with all the stats that you've come up with...

were you one of dem census guys ringing our doorbells and taking details... the guy even asked my my drivers nationality and age...

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

keep going...................

Nothing to see here.

Rock the Casbah: Wow, now we know what your profession is.

Do I wanna do dat? No, I doan wanna do dat.

Hang in there rock... with our thread hitting the All Time Popular Content and you eventually getting the 2007 Escalade, you won't have that problem anymore...

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

98.75% of statistics are mad up on the spot.

True fact.

Setupguy: these "some people" are their countrymen driving passenger vans, buses and heavy trucks. Even 50% of landcruisers are actually driven by their own kinsmen, working as family drivers.

Too bad the "Roadkill grill" concept "You kill 'em we grill 'em" won't work here.

You wanna enlighten me on how terramax is correcting me?

Figure it out, I was telling him you don't drive a bicycle, you ride it...

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

My stabilisers keep hitting the drain covers though and need replacing every few months.

I am not a chicken.

Even if they ride on the extreme right, the way some people drive, they are soon ROADKILL... so their thinking is probably like... "WTF, if I'm gonna go, I'd rather go in style riding in the fast lane, than like a chicken in the slow lane...

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

Setupguy: they do DRIVE bicycles, because they think their bikes are cars. At least judging by the space they take on the road.

85% of the bicycle drivers that end up in Hamad hospital are from Indian subcontinent. This is official statistics.

While you are correcting him could you please have a word with him about all this "dis" and "dat" and "ima" baby language he uses in his posts?

Rock if we keep goin, I think we're gonna feature on the All Time Popular Content... and hey I'm not goona be as pricy as you... 2007 Escalade? Pheewww!!!!

I think ima settle for a 2 bedroom apartment at "The Pearl Qatar"... ha ha ha!!!

Should we start singing the Everly Brothers track " All I have to do is Dream"?

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

I told the bullies at school....

"sticks and stones may break my bones

but names will never hurt me"

After that it was sticks and stones all the way.

This road rule reminds me when I was in Saudi, I used to go out by taxi, as woman are not allowed to drive there.

In Saudi, when they see the traffic light on the other way is yellow, they will go even it's not green yet.

One time I rode with an Indian driver, as he moves he almost had an accident and he said "Pakistanis"

Next time I rode with Saudi driver he's quite aggressive driver and as he did u-turn he almost hit a car then he said "Indians"

My kids school bus driver is Pakistani and one time I went with my kids for a meeting using school bus another car over take him and cut him he said "Saudis"

People do blame each other just to convince themselves it's not their fault!!!

Do unto others, what you want to do unto you!!!

These fairy is a symbol of light!!!

Do we get a prize?

I want, NO, demand the new 2007 Escalade.

I cannot be swayed in this matter.

Its the least Qatar living could do for our efforts in "raising the bar" of this sometimes tedious life.

True Rock... all the squabbling (not forgetting like preschoolers) has gotten us to numero uno position on Today's Popular Content... way to go!!!

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

I think me and setupguy have come along way today.

We were like chalk and cheese this morning (Me, the chalkiest of chalks to his cheesiest of cheese's) but now we are almost like brothers.

Where else other than the Information Superhighway would this sort of things happen.

Setupguy, If you are still around, I am booking flights to palestine for the two of us. We will give them a new road map to peace and stop them squabbling like "pre-school Canadians" (is that a state in America?)

Your incomprehensible rambling has exasperated, confused and probably entertained all here... you sure sound more like Vicky Pollard...

And R2 begins...

Ok later guys I have a meeting to rush to... keep talkin rock... maybe it'll get you on QBS... lol!!!

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

I'm going to go make popcorn. All I need is one of those looking for friend ads and my day is made. :D

Let round two commence..............enjoy Gypsy!

Are you Vicky Pollard?

TRUCE.... hey rock... shall we call it quits or do u wanna have the final say and still talk to da hand...lol ... I'm waiting... this actually was fun...

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

I was kinda enjoying the argument, reminds me of preschoolers fighting in a playground.

This was quite an amusing thread until the agro started.

Call it a day and shake hands?

No, but your pea-sized brain wouldn't grasp that now, would it?

Look who's talking bout getting out more... did it ever occur to you that you're the one offshore and I'm the one on. That says pretty much...

Oh... BTW, keep talking... but to da hand, coz I'm outtie now...

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

is it because you have your racism sensors set to level 11 and any assumption on my part would be classified as such?

You need to get out more.

Staring at that aquarium is driving you mad.

Keep talking rock... Da hand is listening... Ima grab some lunch now...

And BTW, don't assume what nationality I am... you know why...

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

Calm down and don't get your knickers in a twist.

"talk to da hand"???????

I think you need to get out more and spend less time watching 1980's American sitcoms.

Oh and its "The" NOT "Da". You seem to have a fairly good grasp of the language so the extra effort in typing should'nt hurt too much eh? Or are you Russian?

Run along now boy.

Rock were you always taught to speak outta turn or is it that no one talks to you at home? You're offshore rite, so all you have is da sea... OK... talk to da hand...

Terramax should have generalised his statement and not pointed out any particular nationality. Like acb said, and I also agree, besides Indians and Paki's, there are loads of Egyptians, Syrians, Philipinos and Syrians also riding bicycles all over the place.

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

People are extremely touchy and try to attack by nature.

Terramax was stating a fact. Just go to HMC and ask how many have been checked in because of crossing road, riding bycile & car acceidents and then come back & state the FACTS

Cheers

There you go again. Shhhhhhh!

Speak when you're spoken to... or wait a minute, are you his mouthpiece?

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

Better keep it shut then setupguy.

15. When in traffic try getting as close to a Landcruiser so you can catch wats happening on the screens behind the drivers seat.

16. Recline you seat as far back as possible so that only your fingertips touch the steering wheel.

17. Always keep your left leg folded and on the seat when driving automatic transmission cars (especially four wheelers).

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

For one, you don't DRIVE a bike or bicycle... you RIDE it.

Have ya heard this... its better to keep you mouth shut and let the world think you're a fool... rather than open it and confirm their doubts...

Assumption is the mother of all F%#kups.

13. Use the same set of tires until you sell the car

14. Do not slow down if it rains. It is better to get there fast so you are not in the rain too much, as the car will get very dirty.

Silly me for missing off one of the most important things.

It is compulsory. But you forgot to say that it is also compulsory to wear dark clothing to ensure that there is absolutely no chance that a driver can see you.

I thought it was compulsory to ride bicycles at night, with no lights, going a against the flow of traffic and negotiating roundabouts the wrong way?

As far as I am concerned, Sri Lankans, Nepalese, and Bangladeshi are of the same subcontinent ilk. And they are definitely different from Syrians and Egyptians.

I also have seen a few europeans riding a bike, but it was a race bike, and not in the middle of transit.

How do you know they are pakindians? Did you ask them or was it written on their faces? Or maybe you are very good at telling nationalities by looking at a person. They might be Egyptians, Sri Lankans, Nepalese, Syrians, etc. etc. etc. I have seen a few whites driving bicycles around as well.

abc150: sorry, but I haven't seen anybody except for pakindians slowly driving bicycles in the middle of the road. There is nothing racist about it.

12- you can park any where with out blocking the street/highways/lanes

Especially if you have Luxury car

It was all ging very interesting and funny till racist comment by Terramax. I do not know how drivers in Brazil drive but I am sure they are not extremely law abiding drivers (nowhere are).

I'm so looking forward to learning how to drive here. It sounds like so much fun!!!

[img_assist|nid=6108|title=Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

Yes, and hire a driver who got his license in a country with left-sided traffic.

Also you might want instead of a car drive a bicycle in the middle of the road, obstructing all traffic. This rule applies to pakindians only.

Never use turn signals under any circumstances

11. When texting, concentrate on the phone not on the road.
