So what's so boring about Qatar?

heero_yuy2's picture

Apart from having no mountains, no trees, no hurricanes, no earthquakes, solid rock soil, no sharks in their seas, all khaki-painted houses, tons of SUV's, lots of expatriates, no Optimus Prime toys, no pork, no historical landmarks...

Soon there will be a museum,there is the Equestrian club, camel races.....and so on and so forth.

A sense of humour is just common sense dancing, sadly, common sense has left the building and is dancing somewhere else.

Keep your mouth zipped – the "watch dogs" will be out calling us “leechers” and other funny names soon.

We are now getting dictated what we can and can’t say – so much for an open forum where people used to be able to vent their frustration (as they DONT do it in public)

Only talk about pleasant things. I’ll start.

The corniche is looking pretty today and isn’t city centre just smashing!! ::))))

Happy thoughts everyone :))))

It's funny how I made a comment on this thread without even thinking of the leechers, yet someone just randomly brought it up, hmmmm I wonder why?

Poor leechers must feel disappointed that they can't make ignorant generalizations with being called out on their bs. :(

It is a free forum, if, like in the big bad world, you're prepared to see past people's mind games and you're prepared to upset people.

Unless someone's got a gun to your head?
