Hmm...Google was no help with "doolal".

All I could find was "doolally" which seems to fit the context.

http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/featur...earch=doolally

Definition: U.K. an offensive term meaning irrational ( informal )

Is that definition close?

From what I can gather from people who were in the British army. There is a
place called Dolally, if you were sent to this camp nothing happened and you
ended up going mad with sheer boredom. that is were th phrase came from.
hope this helps you.
