Have a nice weekend!

Just a small post this afternoon - I hope everyone has a nice weekend!


Don't forget that I'm giving away 2 VIP tickets to see James Blunt next month, I don't give out the emails to anyone (except the winner so they can be contacted by Hi FM) and never will share contacts with anyone.

Click here for more information about the concert and how to enter for the tickets.

There is the Mommy & Me exhibition today and tomorrow (9am-9pm) in MQ above Silk Route / HSBC / Subway if your interested in that stuff.

Also, the Muscat Pirates rugby kids U6,U8,U10 and U12 teams are heading to Dubai this weekend to contend in a rugby tournament  - so good luck to them too!

Have a nice weekend!

Muscat Rugby Football Club Gulf Conference Champions



On Thursday evening, MRFC traveled up to Al Ain to play the final of the Gulf Conference league and beat Al Ain 13-11 in a closely fought match in perfect conditions. Muscat took the cup and are the 2011-12 Gulf Conference league champions, something they are very proud of achieving, especially considering the road that was taken to get to the top.

MRFC will now spend the second half of this season playing in the Gulf Premiership with fixtures against Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar.

The sponsors of MRFC are:

DHL
Grand Hyatt Muscat
i2 Offshore
Aggreko
Lufkin
AIL
Muriya - Sifawy hotel

And also a big thanks to Hi FM for consistently promoting MRFC and the Muscat Pirates youth teams' activities.

If you would like to know more about MRFC, there is a facebook group here, and a website here.

Here's a candid snap of the boys celebrating in the Al Ain Amblers clubhouse:

Have you seen this dog in Qurum?

Reading OmanForum this morning, I saw this post. It seems they lost their dog when it ran out from a vet clinic on 16th Jan to the highway behind BMW, ROP vehicle registration building, Sultan Centre area in Qurum. Please do get in touch with the owner if anyone sees her. She is a mix small size German shepherd.


If you happen to find this dog, you can email the owner at rohitakovoor [at] yahoo [dot] com

Every little helps, I hope they find their dog.
