"A British DJ was sentenced to four years in prison by a Dubai court this week after tests revealed traces of cannabis in his blood. Sure, it's not exactly legal at home, but FOUR years?!

Of course he's not the first Brit to wind up behind bars or deported because they're not clued up about the strict United Arab Emirates laws.

According to the Foreign Office, 1.1 million Britons visited the UAE last year and 294 of them were arrested or detained by police - making it more likely to happen there than in any other country in the world.

So if getting banged up abroad is on your 'to do' list of life experiences, here are some easy ways to break the law in Dubai... "

1. Do some dirty dancing (especially in Jumeirah beach! )
2. Give someone the finger
3. Have sex on the beach
4. Snog in a restaurant

Hey Simpson, do not dance naked in Jumeirah beach (i.e. dirty dancing ), you will wind up behind bars or be deported to Texas!

Wow....far too many Brits find them selves on the wrong side of the law in the Gulf. Perhaps its time for the HOME OFFICE to educate its citizens on "HOW TO BE A GOOD GUEST"? The laws here a quite different than in Spain!!

Meanwhile the Emirati actress found guilty of drink driving didn't go to jail after all because tshe imbibed on a plane, not actually in the UAE:

Food for thought.

For God's sake, don't take Robitussin CF into the UAE.

Damn that dextromethorphan!
