Not just that, they would all have been lucky not to get themselves arrested and end up spending a night in the cells!

Guys I know everyone likes to joke about 'Brits Abroad' but is anyone aware that the Dubai prisons are full of British expats? Guys picked up for drinking and fighting, people who ignore the traffic laws...you name it. We might think we live in a reasonably liberal place but a lot of people seem to forget that the UAE is a muslim country - drinking and fighting is VERY illegal and you will get arrested

Apparently it's ok for locals to bash you though!!!!

Sometimes I think you have to pick the fights you can win.

I expect them there, but not here. We'll have to talk about this C.


The one thing that can't be defended at all, is why the guy or anyone so intoxicated is being served. One problem with such business practices today is that they want the money, but the problem to be for someone else. The best practice might be to go back to the Irish Village, speak with the management, tell them why you will not be going back, and let your money speak. Chances are they may make a rule where they don't serve anyone so trashed, in order to make money.

I was at a brunch at The Cellar near th eirish village on friday... then continued the festivities at the irish village. Was a cracking day! Absolutley loved it there. So dont be put off going.

Oh, and I was very happy that I was still getting served even though quite intoxicated!!! Saying that, the worst I ever do is hug people and tell them I love them!

Hopeful, I think they got involved because the friend WANTED to and coaxed my boyfriend into joining him for a good ol' fashioned brawl!
Had another incident last weekend so seems to be his style. At least I know that now and will make sure none of the rest of us ever get involved again. Anyway, I'm sure he'll manage to get himself locked up sometime soon and maybe that's the only way for him to learn how to behave in public.

We all have agro males, include one for Australia. I was glad to read that you like me have respect for our host nation, I think that we should be more tolerant and respectful of the customs of people of the country we are only guests in. As they should respect our way of life when visiting our country.
