Do they still have only one, really bad radio station that interrupts music for prayers and features news stories about what colour pants the Emir has on today?

Yes , QBS radio is indeed still shite . No real news , no traffic news , no decent programming and no hope !

We had The Worzels followed by The Brotherhood Of Man then Boney M this morning .

You know you're going to have a shit day when' Brown Girl In The Ring' blasts through the speakers at 6.00am !

6.00 to 6.30 am is monotone readings and interpretations from the Quran. And if you are on the road listening to that at 6.00 am then you have been here too long.

Yes correct , i have been here too long . It's actually called ' The deeds and utterances of the Prophet Mohammed ( PBUH)' .

Then Bernie Lyons comes on at 6.30am !

Avoid Qtel like the plague, they are useless. I have just spent 2 hours of my life arguing about my QR3700 bill for roaming when I activated a Qtel passport which gives me 1G of download and 100 minutes of talking. Seems it didn't get set up but the wifes did.............

And there is a new british speaking radio channel, 91.7 equally as shite as QBS but at least you can turn the Worzels off and listen to Climie Fisher.

I don't know about Vodafone but Qtel was wretched in my Villa in Al Waab (That doesn't really help) They are probably on a par but you will get a better deal with Vodafone.

(Just looking now, give me 5)

Qtel , i can't pick up much on Vodafone in Wakra or Mesieed but then again you're lucky if you see normal human activity in those two places .
