Eid holiday is approaching as you know. I guess not everyone is gonna be able to leave KSA. So, for those staying in Riyadh, who's interested in a coffee cup downtown? Could discuss things to do for the rest of the holiday as well. Who's in? :)

CAF

Nice idea Mad - Go for it guys!  :top:

We can meet at Wayne's Coffee; a new coffee shop that opened on Tahlia St. tonight or tomorrow night, as per the convenience.

Just a suggestion

jillndave

Depends on when and where as I am working right through, including Thursdays. :(
I'm on early shift next week and finish at 2, so after that would be good. :)

funkydelicguy

Salman Omrani

MadMaz

Great!! I'm happy you guys are interested :top:

CAF, thanks for the support! :thanks:

mirfarali, Don't worry mate if this one works out there will be more to come for sure :D

slyshooter, if you think that place is good then it's fine for me but we gotta do it next week so Dave can join.

Everyone, thanks for joining! :D how about Saturday 13th around 8:00 pm? Actually any day between 13th and 18th is fine for me so if Sat doesn't work for you we can pick a different day.

If anyone else would like to join, please do! :D

I suggest we keep it on Saturday but we can meet at 10:00 so Dave and Josh can join.

And for the ladies who want to join, Simona and Nonzie (you didn't say it but I know you do :P), I can get you fake mustaches, really big ones! but if you get caught, I'll act a fool and pretend to be surprised :P:lol:

i would prefer to stay on one corner and eat POP-corn! (*toink)

CAF, salman should be there to be the official photographer.\m/

well you could wear an XXXL thob and pose off as one of the local dudes walking around like a preggy

shahab.ali

noone will have a second look if u r wearing a mustache and thobe... apart from that, locals here mostly have some sorta feminine physical appearance wen they grow fat... so dont worry nonz... u can do it!

YEah...right....he knows me well MM :P
and shahab r u sure?i have never noticed this,i thought many times when i really had to drive in night :rolleyes: but i couldnt gather any courage to do so :(

musicman

I am sure her heart is also as big as an XXXL unless of course you want me to put in another X there?

We have a saying back home in Sri Lanka that a woman with a BIG heart is always preggy...

If ladies want to joint its not necessary they have to be there physically, they can also cover the bill and we will remember them in our hearts at the gathering.

I got off work a bit early so that I wouldn't be late to Wayne's coffee. I was very disappointed that I could not find the place after I followed the directions.
First - I could not fine 'Tahlia St. on the map. But after asking questions at work found out that is actually Al Amir Muhammed Ibn Abdul Aziz road.
The second clue 'Olaya' would indicate that it is at the Applebys end of the street. How wrong can I be. 4 times I crawled up and down in that traffic thinking that I must be going blind. Enough said.

Come on, better directions next time.

Hi Dave,

Would like to apologize for the mess, actually Salman told us what happened and we really felt bad about it. Should have done better

Oh that's is sad but i 'm surprised u dont know about the Most famous street of Riyadh :blink:

jillndave

What's so famous about it. Loads of shops that I have no interest in.
Driven down it loads of times, but I've never had a reason to stop.

Loads of coffee shops - but actually, I really dislike coffee.

Thanks Slyshooter, see you next time.

ps. When did the street name change?

MadMaz

I would like to say thanks to everyone who attended, and those who tried but couldn't make it.

It was a wonderful meetup indeed, except when we heard the news about what happened with Dave, to whom we owe an apology. Actually everyone, including me, had trouble finding the location. I take full responsibility for that. I should have done better. :shy

Can't wait to see you guys next time.

slyshooter

Btw Salman suggested that we keep Wayne's Coffee as our official meeting spot for all our further meetings; (don't know why he liked the place that much, he even took a plastic cup as souvenier)

So people who couldn't come please take note of the address.
