Is it an order or a recommendation? And what exactly is it I should drink?

Sometimes you have to spell how you pronounce it, right?

In this case the accident most likely happened when the designer of this board went to school.

If.

"But I already used the "c" in "chicken"

Sometimes it happens that I have to turn around an drive the same way again. And if it is only because of someone trying to sell his house.

Maybe a house boat in the middle of the desert?

No, in this case it has been spelled correctly. But even if done so, sometimes the shop owner should step back, look at his sign and think if also the meaning is correct.

Otherwise she might be in trouble.

This nice shop around the corner took quite a while for my brain to figure out what exactly they are doing. But eventually I found out by checking the windows.
Anyway, the owner must have thought that he'd rather put a little "french" touch to it to make his goods looking more exclusively. Or he just failed in spelling.

But only a bit

Oft sieht man es hier in Qatar, am nächsten Morgen, die Spuren, die hinterlassen wurden. Eigentlich sollte es das ja nicht geben in diesem Land, aber trotzdem wird man ihm immer wieder gewahr: dem Straßenstrich. Immer wieder passiert es, dass junge Burschen es wissen wollen, protzen mit ihren Stärken, Schwanzvergleiche anstellen. Und wo kann man das am Besten? Auf dem Straßenstrich. Da wird kräftig rumgekurvt, da kommen aber auch bei jedem grundsätzlich Gummis zum Einsatz. Und dann, wie gesagt, am Morgen danach, sieht man die Gummis überall:



Nein, Sie haben jetzt nicht wirklich an Damen vom Anatomieverleih gedacht, oder? Obwohl auch diese manchmal aussehen, wie die Straße: mittels Bauernmalerei verhunzt.

Doch es gibt auch noch den anderen Straßenstrich, außerhalb, im Industrieviertel. Da stehen sie dann aufgereiht am Straßenrand und zeigen, was sie haben. Protzen mit ihren Vorzügen, strecken die Ausleger weit raus und verstecken die Hänger hinter sich. Wer große Schaufeln hat, kommt weiter. Und alle tragen Sie ein Schild mit ihrer Mobilnummer. Weil sie wollen, dass du sie anrufst. Sie wollen dein Geld, bieten dir dafuer stundenweise eine Gegenleistung. Und du fährst an ihnen vorbei und suchst dir das aus, was dir gefällt. Für jeden Geschmack gibt es was: dicke Walzen und grazile Kranartige, dann wieder welche, die dich abschleppen wollen, andere, die dich an den Haken nehmen möchten. Oder einfach nur anbaggern.

I am really annoyed today.

Not even two months ago I went and bought a karaoke game in one named shop here in Qatar as a gift for my daughter. Either to give her for Christmas or for her birthday. Christmas turned out to be quite successful and rich for her (especially in presents) so we kept the present until last week.
Last week we then gave her. She was so excited when opening, but as we tried to get it running, it did not work. Luckily I still had the receipt and went back to the shop. But what to hear?

"Sorry, Sir, but you bought this item in December. And we cannot exchange or refund it. It says that we have a 7 days (!) refund garantee." Although they tested it and could reproduce the fault easily, there was neither an offer to repair the kit, nor any offer of price reduction or exchange.

At least I know that I will never again buy something at SAQR, Doha, as their way to keep customers happy exceeds after one week.

So if you buy something there and it turns out to be broken after 8 days - bin it. Regardless how much money you spent and what the normal warranty time (usually 6 months minimum) is.

Even most of the car manufacturers put the name of the vehicle on the back, some of the owners disagree with the spelling and put it right. Like this one not only on the front, but as well on all 4 doors.

Maybe also "E" was not available at the time.
