Sorry BM

It is now on the Daily Mail website. I too read DM but it was on the Sun's website a little earlier.

Absolutely agree Kid. I'm sure this man would rather have been stopped entering Dubai than facing your extremely fair and impartial judicial system.

And as for our fair isle it's overun with Muslims. Don't you read the papers.

patience

BM I agree with you on so many levels, but a quick look through UAE Kid's posts and I would have to agree with Chocs. In fact I thought the thread MR Douche was about him!!!! His hatred of all Westerners is glaringly obvious and is reciprocated by a few of us on here.

patience

@uaebadoo What giant evidence??? A pair of handcuffs that were not missed. Only found in his luggage as he was leaving the country. That means that he could or could not be telling the truth. Why would we believe the police over him. The torture, well kinda shot yourselves in the foot on that count....

patience

Absolutely just because somebody doesn't live in Dubai does not mean that they cannot have an opinion and I have met enough people to know that not everbody shares mine!!! But as BM will be the first to admit from her previous posts it is your experiences that shape those opinions. Whilst travelling...

patience

Well as I have never met UAE Kid I cannot comment on whether he is reasonable or not, he may well be but my experiences colour my judgement of the locals and that doesn't allow me to give the benefit of the doubt to him. I don't think I would even risk trying to get to know him in real life and I am...

patience

BM Yes since my post I have been thinking about this. You are right I am afraid of the locals (understatement). I think that I would meet up with a local but only in MY country on my turf where I would be allowed to speak my mind without the risk of jail. You see I am far too polite to insult anybod...

patience

Maybe now all the Emiratis can pay their parking fines!!!

patience

Bloody Hell What's going on?????

patience

Do you know what??? I always thought it was duct tape so I looked it up apparently you can say both........who knew??? So in spite of everything you really can learn something new every day!!!!!!

patience

Not exactly enviromentally friendly!!!

patience

I thought Slack Alice was an expression rather than a real person? I looked it up and appears to be a dodgy looking band!!!!! I don't think I look like anyone famous - but if I did I would only post on here if it was somebody really hot!!!! I see that nobody is owning up to looking like a complete m...

@BlueOrb

That was the funniest comment all day - still crying with laughter.

patience

Also a cartoon character so doesn't count. I think it has to be a real person. So do you look like Wayne Rooney?????

patience

I know I shouldn't laugh but some of the exchanges on here are really quite creative (from both sides). I'm glad I'm not on the receiving end (so to speak ooh er Mrs) but it is very funny.

patience

So let me get this straight the laws of the land are not being adhered to but it doesn't matter because each of you has somebody to get you out of jail. That just about sums up all that is wrong with the f******** judiciary, the laws are not applied to everybody, those that have enough wasta can do ...

patience

Agreed - what it is is wrong here or anywhere. That being said you cannot compare the system here to the system in Dubai. After all we have a little thing called human rights that would encompass having a fair trial, something that you would not be entitled to in Dubai. Just as an example evidence d...

He get's six months free stay at Al Aweer!!!

patience

I know all that my point is that when you all state that you all respect the law in Dubai it turns out that you don't really. And yes I am aware that your wasta can pull some strings for you but if you run into trouble that wasta dries up real fast and every little misdemeanor will see you going thr...

patience

Absolutely the law there is a dumbass. In the same respect that you can go and drink in the hotels but if you run into trouble having just been to a hotel that sold you alcohol you can be done for being intoxicated. Personally I would want Sheikh Ahmed to accompany me to court and name him as my sup...

patience

Like Twiglets but not Marmite!!

And Bovril in gravy.

patience

Totally agree. There is never a problem until there's a problem, then all these laws that you think are not enforced because the police look the other way will suddenly be cases made against you. Everybody knows it and that is why the locals have such a massive advantage when working the system and ...

patience

The problem is we don't actually know whether she intended to return the watch or not. So for the sake of good PR it would seem to me that the correct course of action would be to return the watch to its rightful owner and release this lady. Otherwise it will only add to the increasing number of peo...

patience

Maybe she thought they might steal it!!!

patience

Here here Bora General I mean no disrespect to you or your country but I do feel that people should be able to speak out if they are not happy with the way things run. Maybe it is because I was brought up in the West that I feel this way, maybe if I was an Emirati I would feel differently, but there...

patience

Unfortunately I do not know what was said about the royal family as I believe the blog was in Arabic. I do feel that if you allow freedom of speech you may find that more than 3 guys feel this way and as I said if it is only 3 guys there really is nothing to worry about. Agreed that their case if we...

patience

I'm sorry General but we have to agree to disagree. Free speech is not practiced in the UAE and even with proof certain high ranking people will look the other way. And if the judiciary was so fair and impartial how come we all know what the outcome of cases are before they are even heard. A number ...

patience

I may be showing my age here but wasn't SPG Viv's hamster from the Young Ones!!!!

patience

I loved the Young Ones

Don't think it stood the test of time now. All that Thatcher hating and a depressing old hippie!!!!

patience

I was just trying to change the subject to avoid more arguments. See it really worked.
