National Day

18 December 2009

Dear All,

I am planning my holidays. I know for a fact that 18 Dec is National Day but as it is coming on Friday hence when we will get this holday? Thursday (17 Dec) or Sunday (20th Dec) or none at all?

Also another question on the EID holdays are likely to be for 3 days or 4 days for Banking Staff as EID is likely to be Friday the 27th Nov (70 days from previous EID).

Thanks for your help and time. cheers

England flies the flag of St. George today !

By britexpat on Thu, 23/04/2009 - 7:42am

Away ya wee Scots... I'm painting my KIA Red and White for the day....

ENGLAND will be painted red and white today as millions salute the patron saint.
Thousands of events are planned to mark the national day in one of the biggest St George’s celebrations in recent years.

Culture Secretary Andy Burnham has instructed all Government departments to fly the famous red and white flags while church leaders have ordered parishes to ring out their bells in honour of St George.

Proud Bishop of Rochester Rt Rev Dr Michael Nazir-Ali urged clergy to hold dedicated services. He said: “St George came to personify the importance of conscience at the time people in England were beginning to emphasise the value of liberty.

In today gulftimes about Valentine’s Day

By TrueFriend on Sat, 14/02/2009 - 8:13am

Name: Khalifa al-Haddad
From: Qatar
I heard about Valentine’s Day through the media, but I always need someone to remind me on which day of the year it falls. I have also heard of how it is celebrated in the West, in a way that goes against our culture and traditions.
I know for example that you buy the person you love a gift on this specific day, but I don’t understand why this shouldn’t be the case all the year round. Love, by the way, can be expressed by other means rather than presenting gifts on one day of the year.
I want to be a loving and beloved husband, father, son, and brother each day of my life and it would be a mistake if we specify one day for that otherwise you are actually giving love a social value.

At Qatar Living we've also had a lot to celebrate recently. Apart from our third anniversary, we're also celebrating three other important milestones. We've always believed that the growth of Qatar Living was tracking the growth and development of Qatar. Both in terms of new people moving to Qatar and in terms of people going online. Reflecting this, we now have over 70,000 registered users on Qatar Living. We've also posted over 300,000 pages to the site and have made over 700,000 comments.

So congratulations to everyone in Qatar on National Day, and to everyone on Qatar Living for being a part of this fantastic community!
