I actually had a great weekend in Doha, out on thursday and met a lovely English lass with the morals of an alley cat..........Brunch on friday which was very good, though much more expensive than any in DBX/AD Followed by partying with a group of english teachers friday night. Sure it cost a fortune but if you want to get out meet people and have fun it is available here....

If you dont drink on the other hand or are here purely to save every last riyal there is ***** all to do...........

Good to hear mate , i knew you wouldn't go hungry i had upmost faith in your ability .

Yes it does cost you but you just don't have a choice if you fancy a blow out

I'm acutually getting to like this place , i'll be making cupcakes and joing the Doha Players next !!!!!

You've changed...........!

Atleast with Doha you know it can only get better, and thank you for the faith in me, After 3 weeks I was starting to doubt my rather mediocre abilities.

Seems very average dancing ability coupled with donating a few bacardi breezers works anywhere..........

I haven't changed that much mate i'm just a cynical bast**d . I did exactly what you did when i got here , i've done every brunch , bar , restaurant and mall and there was far less a few years ago .

Of course there's enough to keep you from going insane here , if there wasn't i'd be off .
The work is here for me so it's a no brainer , i just use Qatar as a vehicle to fund my life just as my Qatari sponsor uses my services to fund his.

I'm happy with that business arrangement.....

I am still searching for the elusive pint of Strongbow though. 50 Riyal bottles of magners makes Abu Dhabi's 32 dirhams look excellent value.

I am getting ****ed off with being singled out here. can we pick on someone else besides fat blokes with purple noses in the Brit club with phones on their belt. Where else are you supposed to put your phone ? In between a roll of fat or do you get your Flipper ho to carry it about on your behalf

WTF to do in Qatar?
For me the best was to go to watch (in 07) the filipinas do their thang in the pyramid shaped hotel the Sheraton...and get plastered on heinekens. There was invariably a Saudi or Qatari dressed in western attire doing some funny cabaret antiques in front of the band, only to be removed by the security guards later on...

Or going to the QUBE and then after getting drunk having huge wimpy burgers...

Qatar growns on you...

Those Burgers at the Ramada are now Dairy Maid, Quite possibly the best burgers in Doha..........

I quite liked Fuddruckers.

I'm a Johnny Rockets man myself

I am not aware of these yet! Though unless its on my walking route home at 1am I am destined to never try one...........Ramada to Dairy Maid is 3-4 Minutes depending on my walking capabilities, Dairy Maid to home is precisely one double cheeseburger and half a cigarette. Perfect.

co durham boy

Cross the road from Dairy Queen mate and head up towards the Salwa Road past Caravan , Johnny Rockets is on the left 5mins only

Talking about food, Have you been to the british cafe before?? Does fry ups (Turkey Bacon, Beef Sausages) smells like an English greasy spoon and tastes quite like one.

co durham boy

Yes mate it's quite good actually , it's not far from the airport so it can be handy for a decent sandwich .

I was really surprised, Its a 5 minute walk for me from work. Though I also have to pass Papa Johns pizza and McDonalds to get there which is half the price.........

Now I'm starting to feel hungry.........
