A woman visiting Doha decides to go ice fishing. So she cuts a hole in the ice and sets up her stool when a voice booms from overhead, "There are no fish under that ice."

She moves her stool over a few feet and cuts another hole. Again, a voice says, "There are no fish under that ice!"

"Is that you God?" asks the woman.

"No. This is the manager of the Villagio ice rink."

Two days of amazing, absorbing and fascinating football. Bayern Munich and Dortmund FC outclassed the Spainiards giants.

Being a huge follower of Barcelona and Messi, it was a huge dissappointment but yesterday's RM's was a bit of relief.

Some interesting tweets :

'Wow. Spainsh teams EIGHT a lot of goals in Germany'

'Lewandowski? More like LeFOURdowski'

Looking forward for all 'German' affairs in the final.

Mars One, a Dutch company, has begun its search for volunteers to fly and live on the red planet - but it's a one-way trip.

At a press conference in New York City on Monday, the company's CEO Bas Lansdorp announced an open call for anyone to apply for the flight, knowing that they will never be able to return home. The mission will be one-way only because there currently is no technology that would enable a return trip from Mars to Earth.

The wealth of the nation is its air, water, soil, forests, minerals, rivers, lakes, oceans, scenic beauty, wildlife habitats and biodiversity… That’s the whole economy. That’s where all the jobs come from. These biological systems are the sustaining wealth of the world.

Qatar landed a major coup when they recruited Spaniard Valero Rivera as the coach for its national team. He had helped hosts Spain win the 2013 IHF World Championship in January. Qatar are set to host the IHF Worlds in January, 2015.

Qatar’s Sealine Cross-Country Rally, the next round of both the FIA and FIM Cross-Country Rally World Cups, gets underway from the Corniche in Doha today from 18.00hrs.

Ahead of a provisional 38 cars, 15 bikes and eight quads lie a daunting 1,525.11km of desert terrain that will test the stamina of competitors and reliability of machines to the limit. Entrants can expect midday desert temperatures in southern Qatar to be as high as the low forties over the course of the four days of competitive action.

Twice Dakar Rally winner Jean-Louis Schlesser arrives in Doha with a slender lead in the 2013 World Cup for Cross-Country Rallies. The Frenchman finished third in Italy and second in Abu Dhabi and now leads the series after two rounds.

I take a lot of photos. It is my hobby and my passion. I am lucky enough to be able to earn a small amount of money from my hobby and passion, which although very small does kind of make me semi-professional. A status that I quite enjoy giving myself. Why do I take photographs? The simple answer is I can’t draw. I am artistic with artistic tendencies and a creative mind but I need a camera to produce my art for me. I started with my first SLR camera (Single Lens Reflex) and a tiny black and white dark room in my coal shed back home in the UK 33 years ago, and I have been with digital cameras ever since they became available. I sold my first picture at the age of 16.

What is your dream resignation idea (given you have life time opportunity to pursue).

Hello there,

If you're in the mood to donate to a charitable cause, please give us a patient hearing.

Qatar Animal Welfare Society is being forced to move out of their shelter after nine long years. To help them out, Neenu's Cakery, a home-based start-up, has come up with a charity sale - 'Qup Qake 4 QAWS'.

We will sell 10 dozen cakes /-a-t-/QR100/dozen. THE ENTIRE proceeds from the sale of the first 10 dozen cakes goes to QAWS. Thereafter, we will donate 55% of each subsequent dozen cakes sold.

Please checkout our facebook site to get a better idea about us.

Thanks everyone. Let's all come together for a good QAWS.

Has anyone else visited the QP Environment Fair, which is open to the public starting today until April 16 at the Doha Exhibition Center?

I was there earlier today and was really impressed by the exhibits. There are also lots of activities, including a play that children and their parents would really enjoy.

Check it out! It is on until Tuesday from 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM. You'll get gifts from some of the exhibitors as well.

If you haven't been to the ASF yet, you don't know what you're missing!!!!

So I went to the African Stage Festival today 'n I had the best time EVER!!!!!!

A very nice way to connect with different African cultures experience African Music, customs 'n old traditions!

I think is a very important event of exchanging of culture, ideas, and goods 'n another milestone for the entertainment/tourism industry in Qatar 'n in achievin that "Globalised community image" 'n I really hope Katara more such colorful events not only for Africa, but also other continents/races from around the globe.
