Why Qatar ?

We are all one big happy community again. LOL

DG I am so very glad you don't share the border with my country :P

Then again, I don't share the border with America and yet I believe I have the right to make fun of it as well. I think the whole world is entitled! :^)

I know I didn't hurt your feelings g24la, I hurt scmasse's feelings. I did do a poll amongst my American friends and they all agree I have a right to make fun of them, especially about George W. They than proceeded to make fun of French Canadians. :D

You didn't hurt my feelings, it is all good. No worries. :)

Make fun all you want. Who knows, maybe I might even give you some back someday. LOL

G24la I am simply retaining my right as your neighbour to make fun of you, and everything about you (by you I mean America). Lord knows your tv shows have made plenty of fun of Canadians, when I said "ya but your American" I wasn't actually implying anything. It was just something too say.

I did say I thought America was the best place on Earth. That is my opinion only. There are many immigrants from all over the globe that feel the same way, so that is their opinion. You are not a big fan of the current administration, so that is your opinion. I respect what everyone thinks, and I won't argue with you over it because no matter what I think, you are not going to change your mind. No matter what you think, I am not going to change my mind. We all just need to agree to disagree and drink a round of beers. After a few of those, we all be come good friends. :)

"We get the "Ohhhh, you're American...snicker..." or people are pissed at me for what America is doing. How is that rational?"

It's actually perfectly rational. Your country voted in the current government, they are not dictators, they did not seize power, you and everyone else in the US, let them in. If the Canadian government were doing something awful, I would accept responsibilty for it, because I live in a democratic country and therefore had some say in what government was chosen. To say that I didn't would be a cop out. Like it or not you are the government you choose.

Well no offence meant, but I guess that's the downside about being from the States, your government runs around making an ass of itself all around the world and your media show the worst possible sides of you, therefore the entire world only sees bad things about you, never good. But damned if I'm going to stop being sarcastic about the States, I'm from Canada, I have a right over and above anywhere else in the world to make jokes about the US, because we share borders (this is the only time I will ever admit this) and we are practically the same people.

Whenever I travel anywhere I get yelled at for being American as much as you do, so I know what your talking about, which is why I make jokes about the States, that and the reaction I get from real Americans.

Maybe, DG, it's because we hear it...day in and day out, from everyone. We get the "Ohhhh, you're American...snicker..." or people are pissed at me for what America is doing. How is that rational? It gets quite depressing. There are reasons I don't live in the U.S. and haven't for the last 11 years but I still hate when people make fun or judge me for being from there. Most people are defensive of their birth place...most, not all.

And at least you get you're kicks while dating. My problem is they never want to sleep with me again after the first time...:/ I hope that doesn't mean I'm bad in bed. :D

will be back

Nah Buttfly, actually WANTING to marry someone you've never met beats that by a long run.

being forced inti marrying someone you have never ever met before is worse

Meh, I can think of worse ways to do it.

Cos I thought in England worked like that.

You get pissed, he gets pissed. Go to bed have sex and collaps (sp?), So every following date the same process repeats it self until one morning you wake up and you are married. And you can´t even remember how it happend.

Yeah Buttfly, quite possible :p

No, my friend who lives there says this is how all the girls get their men, she said she was told the same thing. Hence why she hasn't dated anyone since she got there. :)

maybe she was just shy?

Haha

Well good things come to those who try, DG

I couldn't understand that part either. She wasn't an incredibly attractive girl, perhaps she thought it would help if he wasn't looking at her. I just can't imagine trying that hard to get sex.

But why does he have to look the other side? wouldn´t it be more exiting to look at him in the eyes and then kiss?

Now Now Cat, you know I'm a dull person with not every many funny stories, this is one of my good ones. And I believe you thought it was a good idea too. :P

Ahhh come on Butterfly, I was looking forward to trying my new technique tonight. :D

Thanks for the compliment though, and the vote of confidence. :)

DG I see you cherish the idea... I've heard it from you so often! You just can't wait to find a guy who is actually seated, to jump on his lap. Too bad they mostly stand in the bar there, you know ...

:P :P

Just at the end, I was visiting my friend who is finishing her Masters there, so only Masters and PHD students were left. I was actually watching the England V. Ecuador Match while the girl was telling me this. It's a really beautiful town. I loved the college.

With moderation, just like wine or fat. I love the golden tan you get here in the north of Spain. Mind you, both my grandparents suffered from skin cancer...so I should take care...maybe after I´m 30...

DG seems a good tecnique if you are ugly. But a gorgeous girl like you are doesn´t need to resort to that.

I was at uni in Durham. Were you there during term time?

I was at a pub when I was in Durham and a girl there, with the best "two belt look" and fake orange tan, could not understand why I had so much clothes on (you know jeans and a t-shirt) and proceeded to tell me that the way to get a man was to jump on his lap and make him look the other way, than while he is distracted, grab him and kiss him on the lips. Than you were supposed to get him to take you home and continue that process for the next couple of weeks. Apprantely after two months of random sex he would be considered your boyfriend.

I think I'm going to try that one tonight at Rydges. :D

they are northern brits buttfly. famous for it.

I'm white. Sun is bad for you.

think both canadians and brits are white. Exept the funny thing about brits is that they go to the solarium and get a orange fake colour. Spooky

You did get the boring part right Super (and I won't deny there are many stupid Canadians) being home was as about exciting as watching paint dry. It tends to make like in Qatar look like a never ending party.

Didn't you know that Canadians are known for our stunning tans and tropical climate?

Yes your deep tan is impressive I'll give you that

Yup. Brits all have a stick up their arse, and look like they havent seen the sun in decades.

Canadians are all stupid and boring

Why is it that Americans cannot take a joke about their own country? Why do you guys take yourselves so seriously. I honestly have nothing against Americans (unless you voted for Bush) I just love the way you get so riled up whenever someone makes a sarcastic comment about your country. People make jokes about Canadians all the time, especially where I am from in Canada, but I don't get upset.

No really scmasse, you didn't all vote for Bush? I think I know that, I actually have quite a few American friends. Perhaps it was g24la's comment that he comes from "the best country on earth" that made me want to point out the obvious not best things about your country. Or perhaps I was making a joke!!!! (perish the thought). However, you can judge Canadians all you want, however you want, it doesn't offend me at all. :)

It's ok TG, i was plannig to go tonight to try the seafoof at the Sheraton but hubby is working soooo i have to wait to the next week ... i will ask him if is ok have a third person in our date, three is always a good number.

sorry sandra i misunderstood u, back to ur topic, Sultan Ibrahim in Intercont. is damn good, little bit expensive but worse it. and there is a singer, nice one. there was a billy dancer as i heardm but i think men eat her alife lol> still my offer is standing , 50|% of my bill ;)

You must have gone through my previous post in which i appreciated your attitude because it makes things interesting, may that be on my expense.

About sandra, well it was a joke but i guess i need to work on my sense of humor.

About me living in a cardboard box, its true so no offense taken.

I wish i was a pilot, then i would have a ""Flashy car and loads of money""....

Well, you are right about me being desperate as well, I am a loser who gets kicks out of chatting with women.

All in all you are so right about me.

Beast666

DG, I absolutely love how you judge the United States on it's leaders instead of judging everyone individually. Maybe I should start shooting potshots at Canada...you must all be the same right? I cannot stand being looked DOWN on because I am an American, I didn't do anything wrong...I was born there...Regardless of your belief we all did not vote for Bush, we all did not invade Iraq, and we all don't support it...and above all WE ARE NOT ALL FROM TEXAS!!!

Ok, stepping down from the soapbox...

TG why you reply against me too ? I never judge people in or out of this forum !! And yes, my mistake ... it was you offering the guide services, i knew it was a joke or do you think i took it serious, i just bring it back because Sandie remind me of that. :I

QC,how r u, i missed ur comments, do u like to share in this domed topic ? really it drives so many inside Out. The site may have a committee " Committee of planning and association" I need board members and advisers :) joking

Sandie, can't believe I missed you! Oh, and I actually missed you, you know.

Sandie you say he lives in a cardboard box i can see you sat at the window of your trailor with all your kids from different men running around!!! Trailor Trash comes to mind!!!!!

Sandie I am so disapointed! What kind of insult was that, where's the bad spelling? The foul language? And a shot at Beast? What did Beast do to you? Nothing, where are your insults for Qatarbrat, Mochacrap and I (and how come I don't get a funny name). You're getting boring Sandie.

And TravelGate, seriously, Money, cars, physical looks is all I'm after.

You can not just judge ppl from what they post here, or then we will reach a conclusion that many ladies here are b....., ppl tease, flirt and chat, i take it in a good manner.

And Sandra, it is me who told u about the sea food restaurant not beast, and yes i told u 50% of my bill off. do u think i am serious?? oh, No!!

I forgot about that invitation ... maybe when he offers his guide services to have 50% of the bill free ?? Am i a thing ??

Don't worry about Beast. He's just trying to ingratiate himself with the ladies, he's so desperate. Read his past posts too. He's the one who asked Sandra "will you have dinner with me" or something like that. Poor thing. I mean Sandra.

I wonder why dohagirl thinks he's a pilot when he's so desperate to talk to chicks and lives in a cardboard box.

And who says you're a movie reviewer worth a dime anyway, beastie boy.

am back guys, but late enough to find u all at bed. Nice sleep:) beast am not after anyone :D she is lively lady, and i know she might be the hope of 10% of Qatar, but i do not seek dates right now. DG tried to make herself bad, by saying she is after cars money and so on. NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa , she is not bad.

As to fish and g2 why do not u answer the main topic , u r very interesting persons. :) ,, Beast ,, keep on the track man ;) ,,

Better sleep now.... G'night everyone....

Beast666

Everyone has an opinion, and I respect yours. Have a good night. :)

I really don't have the time or energy to point out why the US is most defintely not the best place on Earth tonight. That is a dissertation. And I am tired and I want to go to bed. Leave it at I am a really left wing liberal, and the US is most defintely not. I love Canada for its liberalism, if not for its economy.

They are a lot like something else that everyone has. LOL

It may have its faults, but in my opinion it is still the best place on Earth, and the only true real super power left in the world. OK, let the pot shots begin at the American guy..... :)

That is true Beast, I will admit I'm pretty quick on the comebacks, but in the looks department I am a big zero, which is why I had to work on the witty remarks. I'm a bit like Chris Farley.

I am Mocha, didn't I just say that. Good looking, falshy cars, big bank accounts.

g24la, I'm Canadian, there is a lot wrong with the states. George W. for one thing...Dick Cheney for another...Donald Rumsfeld for a 3rd...Condolezza for a 4th...oh, and Texas. :D

you can tongue whip... we all know that by now..

Trust me when I say I don't get my hopes up. :)

Your luck is what you make it, and what is wrong with the states?

you mean you're not really looking for good-looking dimwits with fast flashy cars and status bank accounts? :p

It's better not to get your hopes up g24la. And I know my luck on these things...and you're from the States.

Don't even know me and already judging me as ugly. LOL

All an act Beast, when I acually get offers I don't know how to handle them. I get scared and run away like the little bunny I am. I just like acting like a bawdy vixen. Also I'm afraid they are both really ugly. You on the other hand ...you do have taste in your comic books. :P

I think you could Mocha, you do have an awfully hot hiney! MMMMMM :P

I think I have to stop JOKING about sex so much, people are getting the wrong impression of what I'm looking for. :/

If you got it girl, for all of us that admire a good backside please don't harm it.

Being humble does not suit you.... You should be singing.. Its raining Men....

you think i can pull off ensuring my hiney for a million bucks like jlo did?

then DG can "accidentally" roast it and i'll be sipping on pina coladas in the carribean..backside-less of course (minor setback).

I know Beast, I don't get this much action at the bars!!!

hooooo DG you busy girl tonight

It is a good thing I have money, cars, and other things then. LOL

And for Mocha - a big backside is a beautiful thing. :)

I like my picture now, I think it suits my personality better. :( Sorry g24la, I'm a big shallow person. I only go for shallow stuff. Money, cars, looks. I'm a female pig. :(

I have never met any of you, so as far as I am concerned you and Mocha are both beautiful. How about that.

for a fish with an "ass as big as a house"

SURE! lol

We will let trvlgate decide if you are HOT or not ... after he tracks you down.

HE WILL BE WATCHING YOU..

No, ya see I need looks. Now Mocha, shes hot!

I am sure you are just fine. Personality counts for a whole lot more than people think (at least for me) :)

maybe cause your t-shirt says "cradle snatchers welcome", DG :p

Sarcasm Beast! I'm not hot! My picture on Qatarliving is hot, do not let it fool you. Super has met me and I am NOT hot.

You can look for me g24la, don't know why you want to. There's a reason old men go after me.

I was going to look for you at garvey's and rescue you from the old boring men you were talking about. :)

If you are as HOT as you say you are, then its worth the effort.

Trv gate ... go on man, give it your best.

Beast666

What can I say Beast, I'm hot stuff, it's a shame only 4 people on this site acutally know what I look like. Oh and I'm really picky, so it's really a waste of anyones time to try and pick me up. :?

I have, and responded.

Trl gate is making a move..... things are getting interesting now

Actually i was not going to repond leaving u with ur thoughts, but i am gentleman. I do not know u at all, it is just my experience i gained in life , that u never know what comes next. ;) have a nice evening and check ur mail

You're scaring me TravelGate, you aren't outside my door right now are you?

Don't be so sure :) ,,u never know what life comes up with

TravelGate, I gurantee you that you will never meet me, so it doesn't really matter. Sorry :)

Actually i was a BILLY man ,, 3 years ago ,, and the Italian was my best specially trousers >

And DG grrrrrrr... ,, do i need to know ur hips size and u fit in kids shirts,, damn why u leave me with these nice thoughts abput ur body LOL

German cut suits the guys who are set on expanding. Lots of those around too. No Italian there.

6 on the hips only. ;) I fit into childrens t-shirts.

we all arab men like the italian cut ,:)) some like french and german , i do not like the british cut at all , And DG < u r 6 OHH u fattyyyyy :^)

Anyone seen Downfall? Boy this thread has gone AWOL.

To tell you the truth I'm not enamored with Dubai. As for suits when I have to buy them then Salam suits (pun intended) my purposes. Italian cut is good for my mediterranean build.

Only in Korea and that was for two reasons, one: Korean women dress like my grandmother, two: in Korea I am fat (I'm a size 6), and could only fit into mens pants.

yeah, do u buy from there, or just teasing around :P

it seems that it is men times for fancy colours

"why DG go to men wear@!!"

What?

e46m3, i think u will have to drop some visits to dubai for shopping ,, i know u might do , just confirming and it can be good trip for ur family... however i found nice suits around ,, for the roads -as i am not experienced - i lost my way yesterday because of detour !!,, oh and if i may ask ,, why DG go to men wear@!!

i don't get why tutti fruity colors and tight garments dominate today's male fashion world

call it salmon pink..call it medium-rare-burger pink for all i care. it's still PINK :p

They have, I went to take the shortcut from Costa at the Centre to my office and I had no road to take. :D

After years of bone-jarring rides I awoke yesterday to find the road crews had dug up the very pockmarked and almost war-scarred road behind Ramada that leads to Ghanem Gardens and a couple of other compounds.

Seems things are moving. Still can't believe it.

I guess there were a couple of stores that sold that kind of stuff. Lord knows I had to shop at the mens stores to find anything decent.

I go for the khaki type of clothes; Swiss Army, Marlboro Classics et al, some Lacoste. Salam dropped Marlboro Classics because people complained about the brand and they dropped Lacoste because they didn't want a croc on their shirts. I kid u not.

of course if you read the post I made about Culture Shock, you are still in the euphoria stage, which means you don't find much wrong with the country...not that there is anything wrong with Qatar, there isn't, it's a wonderful place, but you haven't found your pet peeves yet.

It's perfectly natural to have pet peeves about a culture and country that aren't your own, we have them in our own countries we just call them bitches.

There is TravelGate it's called the men men men :D

i joined the country to have some rest from the Dynamic, demanding and pressing live i was in before. a day after a day i get used to the country , and discover another reason to attached me more. i really do not have long term plans, at least till now.

I cannot judge the negative things but i can say i am suffering from damaged roads, driving :( very small empty city.

On the other side ppl here are really good, modest -at least ppl i work with. what is confusing that i know there is a life here, but when i go to a pub i find men and men and men,,,,,, and when i go to beach club i find women women women .....? is there a monster hunting ladies at night?

You never had trouble finding masculine clothes in Japan and Korea????? They dress gayer than the men here???

Some are already doing it, except for the skirts and dresses. All in the name of fashion.

I never had trouble shopping for clothes in Korea, Japan and Thailand to name a few places in Asia.

So basically it's online orders for me here.

unless the men don't mind dressing in drag of course :D

Great shopping for women e46. Asia tends to be a bad shopping destination as a whole for men.

Great shopping for women maybe.

Of course people say negative and positive things about Qatar, people say negative and positive things about everywhere. There is no such thing as the perfect place to live, everywhere has its downsides and everywhere has its plus sides. It's just because the majority of us pointing out some of the negativites are expats, this is simply because we notice them more than the people who have been living here all their lives. I notice lots of negative things about Canada now when I go back that I never saw 3 years ago. In fact to fellow Canadians I don't have much good to say about living in Canada other than its pretty and sometimes the people can be friendly and I like Canadian winters better than Qatar summers. :/

What do I say about here: really nice people, I go on and on about how beautiful Qatari womens abayas are, great weather (most of the year), A higher standard of living, a welcoming culture and great shopping, lots of jobs and opportunities, beautiful city that just keeps growing and growing (my mother always says Arab children are the most beautiful in the world).

negatives: crazy drivers (not neccessarily bad, just reckless), HOT summers, a lack of business sophistication, a lot of loser men (among the expats, not the Qatari's), and the bars aren't great, but they are better than ones in Korea.

This place doesn't even compare to the festering hole that is Seoul, Korea. This place is heaven compared to there.

1) The scenery and weather.

2) I'm a home-in-my-hand kinda person.

3) Previous Gulf experience made the adaptation easy. However 10 years ago Doha lagged behind 1970s Kuwait, for example.
