However, and very controversially, I feel the same should apply in the UK which was a traditionally Christian British community. So why is it an issue that cribs are displayed at Xmas and the St Georges flag flown when the soccer team are playing??????????????????? This an OBSERVATION of my last time in the UK in 2002 when we were not allowed to have a crib displaying in the local shopping centre and many locals were asked to remove their flags during the 2002 world cup. Its much the same............................when in Rome..... Sorry for being controversial but! love T.x

	On their salaries, surely they could have afforded a hotel room? Hardly in the 'fling of youth' either - she was 36 - strangely, but true to form, they didn't mention his age on the radio!! I did something vaguely similar in Saudi Arabia when I was 17 - but we made it to his home first!!!! Mind you, at 5am I then went on to do something not exactly legal - when there were plenty of people about - I walked the dog!!!! The only reason I wasn't charged was because the dog came from King Faisal's kennels and no-one could get near him (or me) as he had a reputation for taking the a*se out of people he hadn't been 'introduced' to!! LOL maggie

	Ros, she was no lady, and he no gent! If they had stopped when warned first time, things might not have been taken further and there wouldn't be all this to do now. Serve 'em right, should be more discreet in such countries. Lizx

It was reported here that the policeman that arrested them had previously warned them about their conduct and returned to find them still engaged in canoodling on a sun lounger, so they were arrested. She apparently did wave her shoe at the policeman. It was also reported here that they secretly married hoping to reduce the sentence, and that tests revealed that they did not engage in full sex. They were also charged with being drunk. It was expected here that they would be freed, but the judge gave the minimum sentance he could, 3 months jail and then deportation. They are currently on bail awaiting appeal. I have no symapathy with them, the law is to be respected, and even kissing in public is an offence. That said, I am off to Dubai in 40 mins.

Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 1,501 Send Message	I thought the reports said that doctors confirmed that they had not had sex? So hardly sex on the beach, a bit of perhaps rauchy conoodling maybe. However, they was warned by the policeman and was therefore asking for trouble by carrying on. The law is quite clear.

If the club says a certain dress code is needed then its accepted and abided by.If the dress code isnt followed the club has the right to ask the person to leave. Why is it when it comes to moral behaviour it seems they think they are a law unto themselves. A person going on holiday or working in an area must respect the rules of that area.If they dont then accept the consequences.
