incidents that sticks in my mind is the day that there was an explosion somewhere off Doha bay. All the banks and big buildings (there was nothing above about 5 floors) had their upper windows blown in and the blast went up at least one street richocheting from one side of the road to the other side breaking windows.
The telephone system became gridlocked as everyone rang everybody else and nobody could get through to anywhere. It was hours before the system was back to normal.
The initial causes were given as a mine being exploded offshore or a sonic boom depending who you asked.
It was only at the presentation night of the Ramadan Quiz (held every Friday on the QBS radio) that the probable truth came out when a guy from the Embassy quipped "We all know what a scud sounds like now".
There was enough happened over that period to write a book.
And yes Eccosavvy, the Kuwaitis did invade all the hotels in the August, many of which had to be re-fitted when they left.
