Re: Adult toys... *NSFW topic*

I don't believe anything further happened. The occasion was a couple of years ago, he's still working there and still a government employee. As I understood it they just removed them and advised him...

Re: Adult toys... *NSFW topic*

It is certainly quite likely that they will search every box. Remember that we are talking about customs agents, the zealousness and arrogance are generally at pretty high levels with many of this...

Re: Adult toys... *NSFW topic*

My own understanding is that such things generally are not allowed in Qatar. Certainly I do know that a friend who once tried to bring a number of non-electric toys was stopped and the items...

Re: Iran - You leaving or staying?

Re: Internet Access- Privacy and Security

The router likely has remote access enabled so they can do that sort of thing. I bet they get hundreds of calls a day but assuming you can log in to the router and access its management screens you...

Re: Doha - Reputable real estate agents (rentals)

Not so much any more. Since the arse fell out of the 12 month rental market a lot are offering "no commission". Simply put they are hurting with serious pain and a lot offering 6 and 3 month terms...

Re: New Ramadan Rules

For sure the region will remain essentially medieval long after we are all gone and yet every small step of progress should be encouraged. I'm not religious in the least and yet I have no issue with...

Re: Doha - Reputable real estate agents (rentals)

Was driving around just this last Friday and went up to drive around Lusail, crikey, as big as The Pearl and WestBay combined and a lot more than that. Lots of towers and lots of space for many more....

Re: Qatar Living Costs (what do you budget?)

I'm just back in Doha for a short 2 month (and a bit) contract. Not been out and about much, Ramadan but it all looks much like I left it at the end of 2017. The train is apparently running but I...

There is a fruit shop on Sukhmvit Soi 22, just across the road from the scruffy little bar area. As you walk out of the Queens Park hotel turn right and walk about 100-200m toward Sukhumvit road and...

Re: Saudia turns back after mother forgets baby at the airport

Sounds like the plane was taxying and talking to the Saudia dispatcher after ATC.
That is a pretty simple one channel radio controller. I worked 32 years for PAE so have seen far too many of them.
