Oh, Qatar it out!

Not another Q and A session.

well…it might be smart if you hooked up with letter “I”

You’ll probably link up with ANON.

Ever since his friend E left, it was no longer quiet and he called it quit.

With the small but increasing number of Arabic words being transliterated into English usage, Q will have an independence it has not previously enjoyed. Qatar is one example. Others include Abqaiq & Iraq, qat and faqir..

No more trips to Albuquerque.

Qat are you talking about?

“U” ought to know!

Please don’t leave. U make me whole, U make me complete…..

I can’t quit U.

Don’t worry, Q! There’s someone who’d like to keep an “i” on you!

Get yourself a qat.

Lost opportunity – Q should be ASKING “What will I do?” “Why did he leave?” etc.

They could run off together to Qatar . . .

She left her first family with her husband “U” and her children: A,C and K when she was banned from practicing medicine.

I want factual answers Joe Friday, not Questions Unlimited.

Q is an important character in the James Bond world. Bond wouldn’t get much spying done without Q’s toys.

Queue. Q, you don’t need any of those that follow you.

That relationship was quixotic.

I don’t get this. Can anyone explain, please?

Not as useful but special nonetheless is an I.

And of course I can’t see this without flashing back to this classic line from a classic film, Brokeback Mountain: https://youtu.be/nd8n33R6ZBw

I don’t think anyone would mind if you hung out with ‘p’

Please dispense all your wisdom to me : I don’t get it!!! Mebbe ’cause my first language is not english?

“Please come back! I miss U so much!”

move to Qatar!

QAT!
