Not a joke.
So this Jock comes to Saudi for the first time last Thursday night via Bahrain.
Gets pissed on the plane and continues with the local Saudi brew until 2 a.m.
He then goes walkabouts and ends up at the Carlton hotel
on the Dammam Khobar highway and demands a drink!
Police called, him arrested and released Friday afternoon.
In his own words "I don't remember a thing".
He was emailed Saturday to get his arse down to court where he was sentenced to 75 lashes!
I'm laughing because the lucky sod could have got 6 months in jail or deportation.

Not sure if you are referring to the causeway being busy or him not being on either the BA flight arriving 19-35 or the Gulf Air flight arriving 19-10!

Re: Not a joke.
Ah, fond memories of the Udhailiyah highway, stopping at the petrol station at the cement factory X-roads, the police stop, work car beeping away at me as I creep up and over the 110km\h mark.... Trying to read the rig - cards while peering over dunes looking for a rig-mast..
Turning around when I came to Haradh....
Aye, fun times...

I've seen the scars.
Certainly nothing to be laughed at.

Re: Not a joke.
Of course, I personally know 2 nationals lashed for drinking, jailed and demoted from their jobs. The female companion, non Muslim, was in jail for 3 days for enticing a Muslim to drink
I doubt any westerners have been though as it is not illegal for westerners/non Muslims to drink if they have an alcohol licence
