What do you do when spending New Year's Eve Alone?

Thank you Swissgirl, nice to know I'm not the only one! A very happy and prosperous new year to you and your family!x

welcome in the Club.LOL.But anyway wish you a verry happy new year and all the best for 2008

I'm in. Not knowing what to do except for long distance phone calls later on. Husband is working tonight, and babies are sleeping...so I'll be officially welcoming the new year a l o n e.

sight...

But hey, I always hated going out in new years eve. Think it's the worst night of the year you can pick for partying. Too crowded, too expensive, too silly.

Well I meet the first two criteria, but not the third, you also have to be between 18 and 24!! This is just too hysterical, is it a joke??

About my friends, well most of them are still in Canada or travelling elsewhere, that's why I am alone... sorry, missed your post earlier...

Just for you for New Year :)

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

if you would prefer that to Yanks, its where all the Qataris and Saudis hang out at weekends.

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

The guys are always out in the usual haunts every night of the week..You would have no problems pulling !!!

Whaaaat ? u don't want to go owen?? u crazy cuckoo! I'm getting dressed already! :P

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

[img_assist|nid=12867|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

I do go out, just that tonite im not.

Tickets only and every where will be stupidly packed, and you will have to wait ages to get a drink.

And ive just found out, there is an American warship and a British warship in port, so lots of sailors fighting later, i dont wanna get caught up in that !

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

i know SG...:P

cornellian, and they think QL is filled with bunch of loser who would fall for this kind of crap!...:/ anyway, just make fun of it...im in a cheery mood...

[img_assist|nid=12867|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

me too was reading it some min ago and i really hope that no girl will join them.It is a ....!!!!!

i think you know what i want to say.

LOL owen, very interesting ad...especially the last part :

"if you are in periods.. please donot waste the time.. try your luck next time.."

LMAO!! Guess there's more than just drinking and dancing ;)

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

Oh trust me, Alexa would sooooo do that! haha

Alexa I appoint u as my new match maker! lol

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

if i may be excused..i just saw this from the classified ads http://www.qatarliving.com/node/60148 ...any takers?...:P

[img_assist|nid=12867|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

U know Alexa, I start to smile and then I don't cause I get too chickened out haha. So I know how u feel like Paul.

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

Neither of us are perfect, but we tried to talk to u, u wouldn't listen...u left us no choice but to yell, maybe then the message will come across!

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

. Well, pardon me if you two are both perfect ! I thought we helped each other out here, not telling me off like a school kid, plus its easier for women to approach men than the other way round !

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Well it looks like to u like u are, sitting around and mopping and complaining like an old lady how ur no good with women and how ur all alone. We're just trying to help u out, honest, that's why we're yelling so u would get off ur lazy butt and go find a decent lady who'll make u happy :)

Nothing will change if u don't make it.

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

suche nicht,lasse dich finden.

:-D

i think thats the better way.

LOL Alexa, we think too much alike ;)

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

This is a very rare showing of my Feelings...You wont see them very often so make the most of it !!

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Oye Paul stop feeling sorry for urself and get out there and show people what ur made off! Find out where the parties at and just go, try talking to people and so what if a girl or two don't want to talk to u, just move on and find someone else to talk to. Sitting here, feeling sorry for urself won't change a thing. And if u stay this way, time will fly by and u'll find urself as a 50 year old lonely guy chasing hookers and whatnot...I don't think u want that life.

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

I can only watch while smooth talking blokes walk up to a woman and win them over, then my confidence drops another notch !!

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

LOL. Well you aren't going to find anyone to warm it staying home on New Years Eve!

without been too rude, you will have him in yer bed again.Thats what i miss the most, having someone to hold and comfort and all that type of stuff !!

My big bed is cold and empty !! Boo hoo !!! :(

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Don't feel so bad Mr Paul, I'm spending New Years Eve solo too. My friends are all going spending 600QR at the Marriot, but I'm broke and can't go, and my boyfriends offshore, so it's rum and cokes by my lonesome tonight. :)

In all honesty I don't mind it. For one reason or another I haven't gone out for New Years for the last 4 years and they've probably been the best 4 New Years I've spent. :P

"How come I can pick my ears but not my nose? Who made up that rule anyway? How come you say that's the way it is, that's just the way it goes, maybe you should decide for yourself what you can do and what you can say." Ani Difranco

why aren't you lined up for tonight with your tons of teacher friends / colleagues?

Thought you would have been spoilt for choice.

Seriously, hope you have a good one.

(And hope I can get back to big C - Alberta - in 2008 - I loved it!)

SS

And perhaps more importantly, when?

And where will Alexa be?

When WILL the David Dimble-bee, when will the David Dimble-bee?

Why DID the David Dimble-bee, why did the David Dimble-bee?

Hmmmmm, seems you dont tell the full truth either !!!!

Why lie ? are u ashamed ?

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Well, whatever the plans you make, I hope all of you have a wonderful time. I'm going to take off, have a nap, maybe find something to do later.

Enjoy the day and the coming of the New Year!

Hmmm what or who is Alexa ? That is the question...hmmm...

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

BC remember the open invitation from the group?...it's still open...PM me if you are interested...don't mellow honey, we are on the same boat...so what do you say?

[img_assist|nid=12867|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

700 guys?????????????? Oh my, well, perhaps not on my own then LOL...

watch TV and sleep..

that's what I can think of..

我听见 我忘记; 我看见 我记住; 我做 我了解。

You can't understand until you walk a mile in someone else's shoes.

SS

Thanks, I might just go down, anyone else interested?

Alexa, just checked out yer profile.....Thats a complete fabrication, so who or what are you really ??

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

QR 200 to get in, 2 drinks included (= net QR 140 for entry), don't know if any tickets left. Give it a whizz.

SS

Well, I'm not a bloke LOL... and it's still the same situation, so there you go, eh? I guess you just have to try to find someone with common interests :-)

Paul..Happy New Year!

我听见 我忘记; 我看见 我记住; 我做 我了解。

You can't understand until you walk a mile in someone else's shoes.

I am in exactly the same situation as you, and it stinks, doesn't it?!!

There is not much of a premium on single middle aged blokes in the middle east (or anywhere, come to that?!!)

How DO you break in to something?

Be good to hear.

(And this has been worth exactly 300 points - what a sad case!!)

SS

Besides Sealine, is there anywhere in Doha that you can go out tonight, if you don't already have tickets?? I'm wondering about the new Irish pub at the Sheraton... any ideas?

LMAO ss! U Lebanese ??

Grrr...Paul...there must be something!! So what if ur the only English guy in ur office? U can still befriend non-English folks.

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

Hey Corney.......You offering ??

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

And i dont do sport so....

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Are there any of the girls who'd like a little bit more?

Why do you feel alone ? you have your family around you !!

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

LOL Alexa, u advertising the Lebanese people ? Just goes to prove that u have Lebanese in ya :P

Paul, what about ur worker mates ? or how about joining a club or a sport which u enjoy? surely u'll find friends there.

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

Hi Paul!

Literally speaking I'm not but I feel alone inside..

我听见 我忘记; 我看见 我记住; 我做 我了解。

You can't understand until you walk a mile in someone else's shoes.

Whats happened ??[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Whising you a happy and blessed 2008

I will not be alone tonight, I'm with my girlfriends..

Dont wanna get caught smuggling do i ??

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

It might be the new thing in USA, but this is Bahrain, its not so big here, means you are still living at home (if you are locals)

I do have Pork and freely available beer though so not all bad i guess !!

YUM YUM

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

beer and bacon sandwich? why can you help supply these?

Never mind I did not want to get into trouble now do I?

Dardue .. be more specific ! what you mean by

"call me when you guys are done" ;-)

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

take yer old ma along with you, and you will shorely score!

Like women love babies, if they see you with your mum they will know you are kind, considerate, loyal, etc, all those qualities that they say they really value (bank account, car, looks, size - NOT important!)

Taking mum along is the new thing in USA, I read, and little ol' Sarko did it in China - and look who he's bagged!!

A good un!

Console yourself with your unlimited bacon butts, and pork saus., etc.

SS

Missy, making me look more silly !!! LOL

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Did I mention the word easy?

Did I say it was easy?

but sometimes its good to take stock.....

beer and bacon sandwiches will help MR P do this...its medicine

some good black pudding would help him to.

Last year to put it mildly i was 'not having much luck in love'

so I focused on my finances as my New Years Resolution.

(ie bollocks to the love thing - waste of time and energy - shelved the whole thing)

Guess what... financially - it worked and kept my mind occupied with a new focus!

women here are married, and people look like sad gits when they sit in a bar on their own.

Its not that easy to strike up a conversation with ladies ya know, unless you have the gift of the gab and are decent looking !

The only single girls who talk to you are hookers !! Sad but true !!

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Oryx

It is easier said than done... There are times it is not very easy.

Let's now lift the mood shall we?

[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

I spend all my time alone, its not of much quality, just the same old thing.

However, i have a rake of vids and dvds, beer, just need to stop at the shop and get some PORK Bacon, thats sounds like a good plan !!

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

I C U there too ;-)

[img_assist|nid=58165|title=|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

blimey i had better get my hala card reload as i will be sending NY greetings to friends n family all around the globe...

life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

Mr Paul... why not spend some quality time on your own?

At least be at peace with yourself!

Instead of the same old thing.

I quite fancy just going to see the film Elizabeth and just come home reflect and get my thoughts focused.

Why don't you just go and spoil yourself???

Bacon butties

Beer

A good DVD????

Can we lift the mood slightly ??

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

In fact, im guessing they will all be up the local tonite, who knows, maybe they will text me or ring ??

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

As people know, ive been alone for 6 months,spent my birthday and xmas alone, so why should anything change just cos its new years eve !!

The only saving grace is, im in Bahrain, lots of bars and clubs !will be the same same faces though, hookers and Yank Navy guys flashing their cash !!

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

[img_assist|nid=12867|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

oh yes I am naughty and nice..

And she is new here..

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Being alone, at least I don't want to land in ICU ;-)

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

.[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

you left it late, kiddo, but still not TOO late!

SS

hey two glasses of wine will surely make me happy. Well, at least for a while.

Anyhow, why are you alone Mr Paul? :-)

Deep down... You will be as bored and fed up and lonely as all the rest of us who will be on our own tonite !!

Dont try and kid yerself !

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

I will be drinking wine alone too but that is ok......

Invite everyone to my place if am alone for new year eve, xmas, birthday party, Or any type of celebration.

The Venezuelan Sensation!!!

Alas.........

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

a night in by the telly seems like a good option! :)

TV shows...Thats my plan for tonite !!

[img_assist|nid=59198|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

i don't want to be alone, not an option for me..i will die (literally die of sadness, missing home)...so i got to be with my friends, dine out and be thankful of the years/months/days we are alive and praying for another fruitful year..
