People...whats up...

Alright people, just checking through my thread, and something shows me some signs of prosperity, quite a few things discussed but not seriousl topics...not bad...

Cheers guys and girls,

Discussion is good to an extent that it doesn't get too personal, and sometimes, a few topics are so sensitive that a small spit of fire can ignite the fire and bring down the whole house...(OF QL)...

So yeah, then Morning to everyone...

----------------------------------------------

" Live Life To The Fullest ! Enjoy Yourself "

the only thing some of us have learned from these topics is that they are best avoided.not worth seeing all this bloodshed to learn a little. at least thats the case for me because i see lots of bloodshed at work daily and thats not a figure of speech!!!

do it right - the first time!

Cambridge was nice. But me and son only there because husband need to do some exams to renew his certificates with the welding institude (TWI).

And no, i am not enjoying the weather. Freezing here ... brrr... I am not doing too well in the cold weather.

And yes agree with you UK best to be visit in the summer.

novita cambridge is a lovely place. i am sure you will enjoy portugal though i am not sure if you are enjoying the weather at the moment.lol.we visited uk this summer and had a great time.

as regards quality time i am not too sure....because of something my mom said .well lol that will be another discussion between us some day....good night senti...drink lots more beer and get to bed.

do it right - the first time!

Although there are alot of problems that arise from this discussions, and some get uspet, others start bashing everyone and it gets really ugly, but I'm glad we have them cause I keep learning something new everyday :)

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

good nite and sweet dream :D

I know ur imagining us rolling ourselves through the crowd! lol

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

When both parents had a career ... something got to give isn't it? So when you have the kids you will have to spend some quality time with them :D

I am in the UK now in Teesside. Just back from Cambridge for 5 days ... off to Lisbon on Monday, then London for 3 days then Lapland to visit Santa then back to UK till after new year.

the problem with online discussions (as we have so evidently seen) is that they tend to spiral out of control.people behind a computer think they have a license to write whatever comes to mind without thinking about how the stuff may affect others.

a religious or for that matter any controversial discusion is best held face to face.in online discussions choice of words is very important because they are the only clue about how a person expresses him /herself. in face to face lots of things such as body language,tone of voice gestures all come into play and can often allievate misunderstandings before they happen.

plus you dont really know who you are talking to.

part of the reason i think why so many religious arguements have turned personal.

do it right - the first time!

Cqm i am exicited to listen that incident.lol But not now.

Good night novita,Cqm,alexa,cornelien.Have a nice dream.byeeeeeeeee

"Drink Beer Save Water"

corne + bajesus = kids in football shape. Lmao ... such a sense of humour you have ...

to me personally ... no point discussing religion/politics on the public forum. You can't change the way people think/see things ... If everybody agreeing about religion / politic in this globe ... there will be no war/s isn't it? I have accepted that that everyone is not agreeing with everyone else. If you know what i mean.

novita i am not but the wifey is....sigh..thats what comes of being a family of docs.

the kids rarely get to see both of us together. sad isnt it?

just read that you were on holiday. where are you. hope you are having fun. i agree wholehearedly about emirates too. beats QA any time.

do it right - the first time!

U kidding Novi ? our kids would look like footballs!! hahaha

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

are you not on duty tonight?

hi novita senti . i agree novita its better to talk about anything but religion or some such. in fact i was about to make a post on an incident which happened at the hospital(keeping names out ,of course)but then that would have had religious overtones and so i just dropped the idea. well maybe i will post it later but definitely now is not a good time.

so how have you all been doing.?

do it right - the first time!

Dont worry good night topic will also be here.

"Drink Beer Save Water"

coolquietman ... i rather discussing those since i dont do religion and its kind of similar items :D

I KNOW connection is OK - I'm typing in QL! :P

It's our 'router' which wouldn't connect (it is apparently set up to allign with our old Q-tel phone number), so a man came to set up a 'switch' instead and THAT can't find the IP.

I don't understand, all I'm worried about is that he alters something on my lap top so I shan't even be able to connect at ALL !

Are you going through a personality crisis?

Your avatar keeps changing! (same character though, I suppose, so not QUITE a basket case yet)

:D

wireless modem is not configured by qtel you have to get the proper guy from the wireless you got to configure

as you already connected to net means your qtel modem is fine

I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I'm here

Than a whole truck load when I'm gone

hmmm

except it isn't wireless, is it?

When the switch thing is connected the message is that it's a bad connection and it can't find the IP

lol i know the zone # will that help you

the apartment has it's own internet connection included in rental (well, I suppose it IS Q'tel ..) however, although it works we wanted to have a connection which allows for both of us to be on line at the same time, and THAT's what it is which isn't working YET! Bloke coming back with a disk tomorrow. hmmmm

I find it difficult dealing with people who won't answer questions .... if you know what I mean. Guess I just have to trust that he knows what he's doing.

What I don't understand is ... how come I can connect without his 'switch' contraption?? and not WITH it!

its got nothing to do with qtel she has the connection but her wireless is not working

good luck with Q-tel ... lol.And you hv to tell me where your new place is when i am back to Doha

Happy with it - just ironing out a few things (like internet, cable etc). Surrounded by plastic bags with our little world packed in them - can't find a THING! :D

I am connected to internet, but we had a 'router' (?) so someone came to sort out a 'switch'(?). Neither of our laptops worked after that - grrrrrrrrr. Something to do with not finding the IP address. Bloke is coming back tomorrow, but I'm NOW worried, 'cos at least at the moment I am able to connect by just sticking the connection into the hole in the wall direct!

grrrrrr

husband out to take Son to daughter's house after having dinner. I just finished washed up ... and now i can have some peace and quiet of QL-ing time lol.

Off to Lisbon on Monday morning fr Liverpool. 3 hrs driving from where we staying ... and our flight is 6.30am with easy jet.

I cant stand the cold :-( Hate it ... No idea how i can cope when we go to Finland on the 17 .... brrrr ....

So Jauntie ... have you move to a new home yet ?

Shouldn't you be out drinking Newcastle Brown and chuckin' snowballs about?

Nice to see you - how's chilly old Blighty?

Nice thread, Ksara sara ...

Emirates in flight entertainment flight better than QA. My son loved playing with the video games during the flight.

I Agree with Mba'Novita,since I got bad experience with QA.

I used Emirates or Etihad cheaper than QA, flight time also comfortable

food is good,seat also very huge my child enjoy with game n cartoon movie.

In QA some flight full entertainment some flight was nothing,12 hours boring n boring only

Exactly what had happened there,i dont know.he told me,he got banned in simple discuss.He is non-alcoholic.lol.May be he became rude than that staff.But who cares ? if we have legs,we can buy lot of shoes.

"Drink Beer Save Water"

"Drink Beer Save Water"

One my way to Jakarta around 2 yrs ago ... i saw one of the 'housemaid' on the way home had that lucky experience. Somehow she managed to put her 'humble carrier bags full with toys to take home' in the overhead compartment that suppose to allocated to store cabin crew's stuffs. One of the crew just grabbed it out ... shouted whose carrier bags was that ..., poor maids dont understand what she is saying ... and i had to translate it. When she knows the bag belong to her ... she shouted at her that she is not allow to put her stuffs on that particular compartment. Off course then i told this 'sweet' crew that firstly there is nothing written whose allow to put the stuffs on that compartment. Secondly ... her ticket not free (she is a paying passenger too regardless who paying for the ticket) ... she shouldn't treat her with that kind of manner. The charming crew just 'shrugged' her shoulder. Great wasnt it?

not only that i've seen their crew really treat some passengers badly on the plane. Its like when u step on the plane ur supposed to know where ur seat is or if u ask for extra water they are like WHAT!! U WANT MORE WATER???? HOW DARE U!grrrrrrr

Where there is Fire...There is Coke. Where there is Rum..There is Smoke - Sir Smoke-a-Lot

I agree with you 100 percents, or even 1000 percents. Qatar Airways is no more for us. We always took Emirates nowadays and so far so good. Even better they have direct flight from Dubai to New Castle ... :D

I haven given up on Qatar airways now after they screwed up my booking last time all their staffs are good for nothing. I'm flying Emirates this time so lets see :)

Where there is Fire...There is Coke. Where there is Rum..There is Smoke - Sir Smoke-a-Lot

so who flies qatar airways nowadays?

ok thanks i will, much depends on the cost of living XL sheet posted my moonbeam and some heartnening information given by you.

anything which comes to your mind which i need to bring from nairobi ? anything vey expensive that i may need to use ?or is not available ?

are heaters really required in Jan Feb months ? does it get so cold there that it is almost 8 degrees centigrade ?

saggi26 You can..if you buy your Vegetables, Fish & Meat from wholesale markets which is nearby the Industrial area.

The Housing given to you seems good. So go for it. Try it.

ksarat16.

My arms are open and my hearth is on receiving mode. I came here with peace. Love is the answer. You may hear some rumours, but don't believe anything, I'm still that nice frog who is waiting for his princess :D

Some are Wise ... Some are ...Otherwise

you are right 1QR=17Ksh ,but I am also given to beleive that since my major ( almost 100 % ) expense will be on food I can spend about QR 1000 per month and save QR 3000 per month or Ksh 51,000 ? yes i would be in industrial are 30 kms from doha ( towards the south ? )plus shifting with my family would mean more saving ? apartment is 2BHK semi furnished-- TV, washing machine, microwave , fridge , beds etc all inculded-- i have to pick up my own vessels and kitchen stuff -- knifes, plates,etc .

afternoon meal will have to be home cooked-- no mess i guess-- did not enquire deeply.

finding another job ? will i get no objection certi from exisiting company if i wish to do so after a year or two ? write me more whether 1000 QR would seem ok if we do not eat out.......

saggi26 .....family of 4..!!!

Wait think hard....I thought you said for yourself. But with family of 4 I dont think you will get a Mess but will have to buy grocerry & cook on your own/wife.

QR2000 is the cost of grocery for a family. Then kids school fees =QR400x4 = 1600 at least. Plus the cost of books, etc.

Not much is left...I guess.

saggi26...main costs here are Rent & now food...

You will be housed..but what about food?....will you cook?/ eating out 3 times a day with that salary will mean spending all of it? Does your company have a Mess?

Medical means treatment at the local govt hospital Hamad medical Corporation.

Most probably you will be in Industrial Area which is 30kms away from the City Doha. I guess the production companies in the Industrial Area observe the Office timings ie 7am to 6pm maybe with/without 3 hrs break in between.

But since yours is a Managerial post you will have relative freedom of movement & not tied down in one place or chair.

1Qatari Riyal = 17 Kenian Shillings so if you feel its good money nothing very bad with that offer. And once you come here you could find other good job.

Most probably you are getting in PRO (mandoob) position...I think.

lol here we go again Indian bashing

All like to save not only indians

FYI only the wise save for a rainy day
