an hour later and there he was, insisted on calling SOCO to check the front gate even though the crime was 3 days before and we had 9 people staying in our house

3 days later there was a notice on the board at reception warning anyone of flouting common (Sharjah) decency laws and the grave consequences to be suffered...No I don't go out with boxer shorts altogether...

He had the best gig in town. Come to the pub and blend with the punters.

I also can tell the one in double deckers who was at the bar every friday when I used to frequent that place. Stood out like a sore thumb and never hid the fact he was 'under cover'

They are absolutely everywhere, believe it.

the one in my old local told us he is instructed to do the following

1. Look for drugs
2. Look for drink-driving
3. Look for illicit acts (i.e kissing your wife)
4. Look/listen in to conversations to hear if people are bad mouthing islam etc.

marvellous, remember we chose to live in a society where freedom of speech gets you a 1-way ticket out of here...

So if you enjoy being here, be careful.

Loose lips sinks ships etc
