is it just me or are Ramadan rules getting tougher this year?
Morning Bored,
I was in a pub last night enjoying a well earned end of week beverage when I discovered that there are new dress code rules for this year. Jumeriah have now declared that men must not wear shorts and women must wear skirts below the knees with shoulders covered in all of their bars/restaurants during the holy month.
The upside, according to my wife is that she gets a free pashmina every time we go out as all of her nice dresses are low cut :-)
I understand they have a selection of colours to match whatever shade the ladies are wearing.
Seriously, I dont mind Ramadan as it is generally a time to get to know more about our muslim brothers and sisters and things get a bit calmer for a few weeks. Has anyone else seen any new (or more enforced) rules this year? Just curious.

P.S. As far as I am aware, women should always wear skirts on their knee or below and shoulders covered at all times not just Ramadan-but- it's been some time since I lived there all year round.Certain things haven't changed that much though.
Anyway,there is pashmina and acrylic is there not?

jumeirah offer pashminas all year...the trouble is, their colour range is very distinctive (apart from the black of course) so it's pretty obvious where it's been nicked from, lol...

Hahaha...omfg-never seen the likes in all my years.....I feel like Kate Moss
I'm a Uk 12 bottoms 14/16 tops but omg...7 States now and I swear it's getting bigger and bolder!
The fatty boombooms demand a place at the front of the restuarant or concert or cinema queues .
All this talk about Obama and passing the Healthcare Bill???
Jeezus- so many have top of the range wheelies and walking frames.
Not old people ! young fat people who opt into that condition
Some needy paid- up NHS veterens in the UK would be grateful for same.
It's truly frightening.USA, a nation of teletubbies, controls the world.
