Just spent the afternoon at fuwairit beach up north, great bunch of guys, bbq and swimming in the sea, drove the A5 on the sand, I really got alot of stares bombing along on the soft sand and all the guys were gobsmacked I made it to the end of the beach with no problems! 3.0 Supercharged QUATTTRO POWER FOR THE WIN!!

Do they charge for the radicals and pork cup in Doha. Every thing at the autodrome is free and the pits are open.

Well, doesn't look like I am going to be joining you guys in Doha.

Offered a 2nd interview, but the package mentioned so far is a joke, so not worth packing the bags.

Grandstand is always free at Pork and Radicals, pits is pass only...which isnt the way to go to be honest.

Recruiter has gone back tp tell the firm to stop messing about. If they offer market rate I'l be there. Their offer was so bad, we thought it was a typo!

Hi john, if you have any more questions about the cost of living let me know fella. Always happy to help.

Lol - massive confusion.

Offer was in QAR per month - NOT GBP per year. So deal is back on subject to a chat in London this week.

thats a tad awkward!

I stopped working things out in GBP as it just makes me depressed paying 8 quid for a pint etc.

Well, all being well, see you soon!

...oh that is the tip of the iceberg my friend! Don't worry, like I said, 6k-10k a month covers all your monthly food shopping as well as living a really cushy social life. The reality is if you don't get out much and are not very active you could get away with even less than 5k...but that'd drive you mental!

(also expect to put on a bit of weight when you get here, alot of social events are based around eating and drinking)

[johnfm]

I expect I will hit the gym & golf course/tennis club (if I can afford it!!!).

Interview on Thursday. Will have offer (or not) by Thursday pm.

Looks like I will have to do most of my drinking on expenses in the name of 'business development'...

Golfy fees...


Drinking on expenses huh... Did I happen to mention how well connected I am here and how very very important I am?! Lets chat about how I can help you over a beer or 2

[johnfm]

LOL at the membership fees! Is everything out there eye wateringly expensive?

...you don't think they pay you alot because they are generous do you?

In short, most things are, however motorsport is cheap (comparatively!)
