well, the Daily Heil was a bit more sympathetic to her than the Scum... Interesting that the Sun never printed her denial of actually shagging on the beach though. Even though it was supposedly an exclusive.

Oh dear, more English girls on their hols:

Incidentally, I wonder what the prize was?

YUK!!

Whatever happened to British decorum?

The Dean

It's on the SKY NEWS website????

Does that mean they will be showing the film of it this evening????

And if they were "paid" to do it, then they were committing acts of prostitution, surely?

Slingshot

you must be looking in the wrong place then...

Surely the all inclusive brunches days are numbered?

This story has been all over UK, colleagues at work said it made headlines in Sweden, South Africa and US. Not the best publicity for Dubai.

I am talking about people here on BE...the way you posted made it seem as if 'we' were the ones you were talking about...

MataHari

that's cause it's summertime...in Holland there is a name for news this time of the year, when stories come out big that normally wouldn't make page 24, komkommertijd....

went out with cream teas, forelock-tugging and nimbu-pani at the gymkhana.


Interesting non-sensationalist take in today's Grauniad... with no CAPITALS either!

'That Brits drink even more in a Muslim country than they would at home is not the only irony of life in Dubai'

Is that really the case? I drink far less then I ever did in UK - down to that you don't pass many bars on the way home, having to get taxis to/from bars, and having to travel a lot.

And it seems to be the same for most people I know here.

Spugsy

I drink about a quarter as much, if that.

The Dean

Let me see.....

"Nimbu-Pani"?

As it's a gymkhana, which involves horse riding, I assume it's an anagram??

"Pain In Bum"???

Same here...I think I've had about 3 glasses of wine since last week..on different days with dinner.

Contrast that to the UK: I went back for six days in Feb and averaged about 6 pints of real ale a day...I was literally half a stone heavier when I got back ...and I went back as my nan had passed (although she's Irish and drinking a lot is traditional at that time)

I can't drink over here like back home - the beer selection is usually crap and it's too often hot to be soaked with alcohol...dehydration is a problem.

Spugsy

hmmm, I seem to have put on half a stone, despite not drinking much.

MataHari

how's the detox going then...
