Comment on QNB (Qatar National Bank) sucks by Thomas

QNB has flashy marketing, but is in reality a terrible bank. The service is unfriendly, the online banking never works and I wasted many phone calls and visits to the bank on a credit card I still not have. My advice: don’t leave your money in the hands of these amateurs.
@ademsemir: you work for them maybe?

Comment on Linux VLANs by Andy

Cisco switches always have VLANs 1002-1005 preconfigured for FDDI and token ring, you can’t disable or reconfigure them. It means that you should stay away from these VLAN numbers for any other switches which might at some point be interconnected to a Cisco switch.

Hi Andy,

Why do you say VLAN numbers 1001 – 1005 are reserved?

Thanks,
Cristian

[...] 3.QNB (Qatar National Bank) sucks | Andy Fletcher Today I closed my account with QNB. I opened the account when I came over to Qatar a year ago. Since then I’ve had nothing but trouble with them. … At least I got my money back. Its now been paid into a non-QNB bank account of a friend ready for my next trip. http://ams1.x31.com/~andy/2010/03/qnb-qatar-national-bank-sucks/ [...]

The camera does add pounds – mum looks merely very skinny, not massively underweight.

Although the shopping list was literally as long as Imran’s arm, I recall we had to go food shopping again after 48 hours. We must have impressed even the Italians!

Comment on A company I don’t recommend you deal with by Giles

I had a run in with Suzanne Martin Associates way back in ’99. I had just started my design company and took a job from her. Needless to say I honoured my suppliers but never received payment. She nearly killed my business within the first 4 months of trading. I did get the last laugh though as my business and I went on to great success, never making that mistake again.

Imran checking the shopping receipt for an extra item. Unfortunately it is all in Italian.

Completely right. This woman is a monster. DO NOT associate with her under any circumstances. All the other comments are spot on.

She’s unethical to the point of criminal.
