Worse than a year in prison and 350 lashes ?

2 tons of drugs, either it was destined for ISIS or all the top royals were waiting to partake in festivities . So this Prince will probably escape punishment. Blame will be put on Hezbollah and on a aide/s to the Prince. The Leb government will receive millions as payoff to look the other way.

I do like the saudair announcement warning you of the same and asking you to hand to cabin crew before you land
I wonder if they then let you off with a smacked wrist

If you want to read about a country gone mad on amphetamines try Australia first.

We like our horse tranqulizers in this neck of the woods

I actually tried Amphetamines for a week many years ago (it was doctor prescribed) ; didn't do a dam thing. Friends tried some it, said it gave them constipation

Cameron recently cancelled a contract that was being set up to advise Saudis on how to run prisons. Perhaps we should get the Saudis to show us how to deal with the drug problem ? Public executions of dealers on Hampstead Heath ?

I'm looking forward to it for a couple of reasons;

1. I've done a lot of the resourcing for our work there and will enjoy going and seeing some of it in action, as well as the people (that are left...)

2. I get on with the Country Manager very well.

3. It ticks another country off the list.

4. If I hate it, I can be smug and say I was right all along.

5. If I really like it, I can be smug and say that I'm happy to be proved wrong.
