Revellers enjoy the nightlife in Dubai

British expatraites in Dubai continued to party away this weekend - despite last week's stern reminder from the kingdom's rulers that Sex on the Beach should remain restricted to the cocktail menu.
A week after the arrest of British saleswoman Michelle Palmer for an alleged drunken tryste on the shores of the Persian Gulf, fellow expats appeared to have lost little enthusiasm for the work-hard, play-hard lifestyle for which the Emirate has become famous.
In the Double Decker, a packed London bus-themed pub near the soaring tower of the seven-star Burj Al Arab hotel, Simone Dobson nursed a vodka and orange that was possibly not her first of the day.
Yet she said that as long as revellers did not test the authorities' liberal attitudes too much, the worst that could happen after a night's carousing was a hangover.
"Both the work and social life are brilliant here," said the 36-year-old management consultant, as a middle-aged businessman drunkenly murdered the Beatles' Twist and Shout on the karoake.
"But I'm afraid anyone who did that kind of thing would be really stupid. You are in a Muslim country and you must respect their laws. If you're going to drink, you don't wander the streets afterwards - you get in a taxi and go straight home."
The perils of ignoring that advice have been starkly demonstrated by the case of Ms Palmer, 36, who was arrested on Dubai's Jumeirah beach along with British mobile phone executive Vince Acors, 34, following a drinking spree of the sort with which many in the Double Decker might well be familiar. Charges have yet to be confirmed, but if they are brought - and if she is found guilty - she could face up to six years' jail for her alleged sexual affair, drunken behaviour.....

How long have they been married?

So if the Mooj are in Christian countries, they must respect OUR laws, is that what this tosser is saying?
Oh, sorry, Britain has surrendered to the Mooj, I forgot...
Don’t do her, do her, do her, do her, don’t do her...
The police have arrested more than 500 men suspected of leering at women or photographing them on Dubai public beaches like Jumeirah.
A typical beach in Dubai in front of modern skyscrapers.
Sounds like Mississippi with Arabs. ;)
Britain is crying out for two Britons who were arrested in Dubai on Saturday for having sex on a beach - and are being sentenced to six years in an Arab prison.
30-year-old Michelle Palmer and a lover, a man only named Vince Acors, have been arrested for "a number of serious public order offences" after having out-of-wedlock sex on Jumeirah beach in Dubai.
bttt
Maybe even $hitcan their Korans on arrival? Tit 4 Tat?
Well its not as exciting if they went to a room.
bttt
“Didn’t either of them have a room?”
Yeah, but apparently it was ON the beach.
And in a Muslim country? If they get executed, they deserve a Darwin's award.
Well its not as exciting if they went to a room.
Yup. Seriously retarded, I’d say.
