Doha Traffic Mayhem
Mood:  irritated
The early morning traffic here in Doha is a nightmare. What was a 20 minute journey 2 weeks ago is now a 45 minute journey of queues and queue jumpers.
I have learned something though. I always thought that the yellow marked inner lane was for emergencies but now I realise it is for Land Cruisers and Mercedes to avoid queuing like normal people. Next time I break down I will pull into the outside lane so I don't get in the way.
During August there was big police blitz on traffic offenders. Strange time to do it when the biggest culprits were away on holiday!!!
I feel that the seat belt and mobile phone usage traffic laws may as well be shelved - at least 50% of drivers are ignoring either or both of them.And nobody seems to care.
And as for lane discipline - well where is it. Drivers in the right lane want to turn left and vice versa. Why are they in the wrong lane in the first place? It was shorter!
Finally, what about the red light jumpers. Next time you are at the lights and you have a green signal look at the faces of the drivers of the 4 or 5 cars the whizz across the front of you. Not a whiff of conscience or realization they have done something wrong. How lovely it must be to go through life not having top care for other people.

Well that's off my chest. it won't make a blind bit of difference but I do feel a little better.

Ashes Come Home
Mood:  incredulous
Well after all these years the Ashes finally come home. It was a great Test series and a pity it ended in a tame draw. But we'll have them anyway we can.
It's a bad time for the Aussies with the rugby and cricket on downers, but they will find new talent and be a force to be reckoned with - never discount them.
So what test matches can we concentrate on now. Ooops - Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. No thanks I will watch rugby for a bit.

What is Blogging All About?
Mood:  not sure
Well, here it is my first blog. I can use this to keep in touch with people I know and people I don't know.
More later when I learn how to use it properly.
Bye for now.
