Who said so.. of course you can take your own pic yourself... For example .. see at wildfrog's pics..he takes them himself and hence his pics are always with his head tilted.. ;)

Those are very good points from ideru and exterminator, Marc. :cool:
We'll be expecting a photo of you after 2 weeks then. :thumb: :D :wave:

well...don't expect you'll got the internet access there...they don't have such thing...even the toilet, you'll have to share it with others...worse yet, you'll have to share your hotel room with another 10 renters(is it a word?)..:D....

so good luck :wave: ..

I fully understand. In this case you will have to ask the nicest girl you meet to take a picture of you. Then you take a picture of her. :D After that it is up to except the part of you uploading pic #1 ( and also pic #2 ;) ).

Have fun.

In addition, he should also ask someone else to take a picture of them together. :thumb: ;) :wave:

I've never been there...it's my sincere and humble attempt to put an uneasy feeling in you before you set your foot on the plane....and can't sleep all the way to Doha thinking how awful will it be...resulting you'll feel sleepy and tired as soon as you arrived and missed the fun there:D...

looks like you don't listen to my honest rumours:mad::D...

since you'd been charged that much, it's obvious that you'd acted suspiciously like a bloody foreigner who doesn't know anything about their place...if not, you'll be charged only $0.50 per hour...next time you go to Doha, blend with the locals harmoniously....disguise if necessary...i.e: wear beards, turbans, long garment and speak arabic...it's not that hard:D....

In this case Marc is mandatory. Not that I have something against blondes. :D

Given Marc's impressive record in posting photographs of himself... With a heavy heart, I shall tolerate a compromise.

Marc: just post the blondes. It is OK. :D ;)

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Marc, when did this happen? :D :thumb: ;)

yeah, i know. When you search on my name, that's the first thing you get.... I can't do anything about it :( Needless to say, it's not me ;) :D

Actually, something quite similar was happening to my name around the time when Microsoft was evaluating my MVP award nominations.

An ex-MS employee with a name exactly like mine had a spat with the company, quit it, started his own startup, got sued by MS in the bargain. He got searches on my name a lot of unwanted reputation not of my making - and inevitably came up first on Google (actually, first 10).

Luckily, those evaluating me did a thorough background check, and deemed me innocent. :)

This is not true. For one, you can make your own website that would put your name high up in that list.

Additionally, a couple of references from some other websites to stuff by you will give that search a good pep.

wonder no more...I found his picture;)...

it appeared that Marc apart form his hobby of collecting stamp, he is also a part-time rally car-racer...he usually compete in the Ypres Westhoek Rally...no wonder he went to Doha for 2 weeks...it's well-known that Doha is one of the host of world rally championshop there....

evidence shows that, he is also a Spiderman...having said all this, here is the photo taken by an unknown papparazzi when Marc driving around in his Peugeot 206 ...
