Dopey Dorries In Dubai

[needawin]

So Dopey Dorries is on a jolly to Dubai.
If you wanted to promote GB on the World stage would you seriously send Nadine Dorries?
Hope she remembers the strict alcohol rules when she is being interviewed.

What strict alcohol rules?

[DTCwordfan]

Dubai doesn't have strict alcohol rules - it stems from them being Sunnite and they have more of a liberal interpretation to the Haddiths, the Koran speaking of the rivers of flowing wine and honey.

[DTCwordfan]

As in 'one should not have alcohol in the body at prayer time.'

There's plenty of time between the Isha and the Fajr to enjoy booze in moderation and out of the system. In London this evening, 18.40, and tomorrow morning at 5.45

[Hopkirk]

I've been drink in Dubai

[DTCwordfan]

Hopkirk obviously has been for a swim in the Creek - amazing he is still with us!

[237SJ]

I've been drunk in Saudi Arabia. You can get a whole bottle of home brew port under an abaya.

[Hopkirk]

Having a drink in Saudi Arabia reminds you what it felt like getting served underage in a pub.

[DTCwordfan]

true - one could go blind in saudi...!

[237SJ]

Yes, especially when it was home brewed.

[Hopkirk]

I had a strong gin and tonic in Dhahran. Proper stuff, not home made.

Because it was illegal it tasted wonderful.
Pathetically childish. I know.
