Moving company in Qatar

Does anybody have an idea, what I can do?
I moved from Qatar back to Germany in August 2009.
The removal company was:

Freight Forwarding, Logistics & Removals.

Global Freight Systems Co. W.L.L.
P.O. Box: 30640 Doha - Qatar .
Packing started on the 18 of August, they finished after working one whole night on the 27. of August.
So we are talking about 10 days packing by 4 people. The same contents were packed in Germany and in
England within 3 days by 2-3 packers.
There was only one competent packer, the others were willing put they had no training.
We left Qatar on the 28, being told, that the ship would leave on the 29 of August,
arriving in Germany on the 26 latest 28 of September (a realistic time, moving from GB to Qatar took including tax four weeks).

What prize do you get for a quiz? Somalia

I can't write stuff as funny as this, genuis, pure genius...

The winners of a quiz organised by Somali Islamists have been given weapons and ammunition as prizes.

Prizes included AK-47 assault rifles, hand grenades and an anti-tank mine.

The quiz ran during the holy Muslim month of Ramadan in the port city of Kismayo, and included questions about the Koran and Somali geography.

A representative for the al-Shabab militant group said the quiz aimed to stop young men from wasting their time and focus on defending their territory.


Why did Nandos not reopen after Ramadan?

We just wondered why this restaurant hasn't reopened as we really enjoyed the food.

The Teachers of death

MULTAN, PAKISTAN // Last month, the chief minister of Punjab, Shabaz Sharif, was given a highly confidential briefing by the Criminal Investigations Department of the Punjab police. He was warned about growing extremism in southern Multan and told that at least eight suicide bombers who had attacked the country over the past year had emerged from this belt. He was also told that the ammunition used in the February bomb blast at a mosque in Dera Ghazi Khan, which killed 30 people, had been stored in a school house in Multan.

Ramadan Photo Competition: And the winner is

1. Drac - Whilst its a bit blurry and the colours are dull it does show a 'high level' of devotion. Might have worked better as Black & White

"Ramadan2009" .

2. Scarl3T - Suffers a bit from motion blur, probably from too slow a shutter speed, but a nice composition and meaning


cancel day off not paid

May i ask if it's reasonable to offset cancel day off last ramadan time?? They canceled our day off telling us that this will be paid in our salary of the said cutoff period. Recently, the management told us that they agreed in their meeting not to paid the said "CANCELED DAY OFF".
The management want us to render at 2 days off per week of this month until the said canceled day off will be offset. In the first place they never inform everybody this will be the arrangement after our service of work. Can u give us some advice what to do??? Thanks.

Have you heard any recent new rumors since Ramadan, of the QDC closing permanently?

ok i dont understand whats going on.

Hello everyone, I have a problem... I've been in Doha for about 2 months now and I am having trouble finding a job. I am an American with work experience. I am applying to a good amount of Jobs and Im not getting any calls back. Now many people said "dont worry everyone gets lazy during Ramadan/Eid" which is fine but I am starting to believe that many companies dont even check their e-mails. Because when I called a company that I already sent my CV to.. the person said that they never received anything. All the companies I applied to are Qatari Companies.. most start with a Q. Is there a site or anything that I can find international companies in Doha? In the marketing field if thats possible. But at this point any job will do, I came here for work, not to sit down at the beach.

Dear costumer Please hold the line ...AARRGGH

Ok now i am getting sick of these lines!, it's happening since the month of Ramadan. I call 111 and try to talk with the customer service executive or whatever, but since the month of ramadan , i'm listening this.... DEAR CUSTOMER YOUR CALL WILL BE ATTENDED FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE, PLEASE HOLD THE LINE, YOUR CALL WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE NEXT AVAILABLE AGENT. Dayammm ... The whole phrase is in my mind all the time. You would be thinking why do i want to call Q-tel's BORING SERVICE ... just because of one kid, hardly 7 years of age. I gave him my cell-phone to play some games. He went in front of the TV n saw few adds, n subscribed to them through my mobile, n you know wa? ... everytime I recharge my phone, a message come n say THANK YOU FOR RENEWING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AT AL-AFASY! ...
