Dubai Secretly Turned On By The Idea Of More Beach Liaisons

What other explanation could there be? After an appeals court let lusty beach couple Michelle Palmer and Vince Acors off with a fine instead of jail time, Acors was detained trying to board his flight at Dubai International Monday night on what his lawyer says are unknown charges. It's actually the second time he's been unable to get out of the Emirate that supposedly doesn't want him there, after a procedural snag held him up Friday.

Back in July, Acors and his one-time fling Palmer met at a boozy brunch and ran afoul of the strict rules on PDA in Dubai. Though they say they didn't actually have sex, they did cop to being drunk, also a crime. They could've faced 90 days in prison but were fined instead and ordered deported.

But try as he may, Acors can't get back to London, this time because allegedly his flight confirmation was "not in order," his lawyer told the Times. Maybe the authorities are hoping to set him up on one last date?

Not Fun

No matter how much money they pour into their tourism sector, or how tall they build their buildings, or how much they alter their coastline to resemble a palm tree, or how many itinerant laborers they exploit, or how many ponds of poo they create in lieu of a sewer system, Dubai still seems about as much fun as watching Ally McBeal reruns. When I'm looking for artifice and superficiality, I'll take Vegas over Dubai any day.

whoa

I didn't know that they had just met! That obviously does not help their case. Watch, next vacation they'll take is to Sharm el Sheikh.

Keep up!

As Vince Acors' lawyer of whom you have referred to in your article, I can reliably inform you that Vince was able to leave Dubai and returned to the UK on Christmas Eve - almost a month ago! I can personally vouch for this having taken him out to lunch in London shortly after he returned. As a destination Dubai is second to none. Do not be persuaded otherwise by comments from Victor Ozols suggesting that he would rather watch re-runs of Ally McBeal. Having both been to Dubai and watched Ally McBeal I can assure your readers that nothing on earth can be worse than another repeat of Ally McBeal. As for the comparison between Las Vegas and Dubai, both of which I have visited a number of times, Vegas wins hands down on gambling, because there are no casinos in Dubai, but for hotels Dubai is vastly superior. Better food, better rooms, and better facilities at better prices. And as for sleaze, my client was caught kissing and cuddling on the beach. Is there any sleazy behaviour (correct English spelling) in Las Vegas? Where do I begin?! Cheerio! Andrew
