Well it does happen and it's tedious.
On a lighter note, I love the furious posts from soemone whose wife as lost her wallet and, oooo shock horror it was probably stolen! Where I come from you can't even report that to the Police anymore and here we are in a one city country where if you lose your wallet you can alert about half the population on one website. (and it was probably the maid).

This is a tiny place that doesn't represent real life for most of us. It's the reason a lot of us are here in the first place. QL is too small if anything, I agree that there should be lots of forums in different languages and for different interests. Excluding Expat Woman which is not my cup of tea at all, what else is there?

On balance, this website has enriched my life, especially through the days when I didn't work full time and had the choice between reading about wayward maids and the highly original why all arabs have landcruiser or the reality of my days spent drinking coffee and listening to childbirth stories.
