ismailerum - really??!! Well I never knew that - do I presume everyone needs to get permission for fireworks here in Qatar? Not that I am planning any firework event - just curious!

Haroon - we are together with the family this evening - we have family over from the UK visiting - just thought that in case something would be lighting up the midnight sky I wanted to know in advance rather than mad dash up the building at midnight to show the kids! :-)

Happy new year guys!
