I can't believe people sit their and allow him to laucnh such a tirade, against thier wife, or whatever, in a public place, without punching his lights out. A verminous little man, who hopefully now will lose everything. At the end of the day, he's a dressmaker. The problem is that some people put s...

I would find it strange if Herve didn't bump up the price of materials bought thro' Seahore Submarines. Isn't that called doing business and making a profit? If i was to go to my local garage to buy a part for my car, would i expect to pay the same price that they had bought in for? In reality, no....

Just curious.

What part of the above question did YOU not understand, as you failed to answer?

Thank you!

Curt replies would be one thing, but both were dismissive to the point of being just rude. Just because i don't post often gives no one the right to say "who is he anyway?" I could say the same about both of them. Who are they? Why are they better than me? do they know me? I've no wish to ...

You can't compare what happened to you and your wife to what they have gone through. I think you may have a different view of Dubai if you had been convicted and sentenced in your absence. As Herve once pointed out, this hasn't even happened to Bin Laden. Did I miss something? His wife? I think i w...

Only a few people such as BM & BB, took the time to dig deeper than the 7Days to find out whats really behind this story in particular, and don't you find their change of perspective at least a little intriguing ? Another question, then, for which i will no doubt be criticised again, but i'll a...

The thing about the "recording" is that it wasn't an actual recording of Herve's interrrogation, but rather a reconstruction he made with a couple of guys in a Chinese restaurant in Florida, that was then provided to multiple (i assume) media outlets to generate publicity in the run up to ...

@ VW I don't doubt that Herve was wronged in some respects - and possibly very badly. We all know what goes on in this environment, especially in business, and from what i read, probably frequently at the big companies based in Dubai. I think Dillon summed it up nicely, when he pointed out that ther...

...... so how on earth did get back to the US, in a submarine? Of course not, because one was never produced that passed all the tests, was it? :D Only jesting, please don't be offended. Don't think i don't believe everything you say happened, Herve, because even without evidence, i can imagine tha...

@ BM. I dont believe i have been reposting points tht have been answered. I have, though, asked the same question more than once that has yet (even now) to receive an answer direct from the horses mouth. Nothing wrong with that - it is making the point that it would appear that no working submarines...

I am tempted to say there will be a cover up of sorts, but then again the UAE and UK are now officially Allies in the ongoing carry on in Libya, and so maybe some decent pressure from our embassy here will result in some kind of justice prevailing, and the relevant compensation being awarded. You wo...

@ DK - it seems your post on this thread is at odds with your post on the other thread on this subject, where you joke about falling down the stairs, etc. The post here reads like a stern defence of Duabi Police, and Dubai in general. Which is a bit of a turnaround, if i read it right..... I've also...

So the police have taken statements from the Burj staff involved, will they now take statements from the prisoners in Bur Dubai PS who telephoned his sister in the UK to report he was being severly beaten?

I once tripped over a midget. Or he may have been a dwarf - there is a distinct difference, i believe. In any case, it was a really short bloke with a big head. It was at the Autosport Show at the NEC in Birmingham, UK, about 5 years ago. It's one of those happenings in life that is so bizarre, it w...

They're not even guaranteed to make it to the court from jail. They could easily choke on their own vomit beforehand.....

If this was an indian guy who did this, he would probably get 5-10 years, followed by deportation.

Apparently the British Embassy interviewed the 4 (i think) Brits currently staying at Bur Dubai PS, and are saying that the conversations will remain private for the moment. And i also read that the family (now here in UAE), are claiming he has been beaten. Like you say - interesting to see what hap...

I see this thread has been nicely derailed by the same old rubbish between ladies that seems to infect anything interesting or serious on here.

Yeah...I know where it all went wrong.

I'd say it would be pretty hard to give yourself friction burns to the head....more likely they would be caused by beign dragged across the floor. Also not easy to hit your own nose against a wall - your mind knows it's going to hurt, and the natural/automatic reaction would be to avoid this (try it...

If he injured "himself" by throwing himself on the wall, etc. don't you think the police would have taken him to the hospital (even under "arrest"). You would think so, wouldn't you. In the UK, once a person is in custody, any injuries are looked at by a police surgeon (doctor),...
