Did you read on the news that a British couple who had sex on a public beach in Dubai was arrested, charged and found guilty for having illicit relations and showing public indecency? They got fined $367 for it and escaped jail. There you go. The fine sets minimum price for the permit. It will start at $367 and you'll add to it the price for escaping jail. I bet the market for such permits to foreigners and locals is huge in the Middle East. It can also become very lucrative. They only thing is to choose beaches that Somali pirates don't use. Otherwise your permit won't help you escape the pirates joining your act And holding you hostage for ransom!

I saw the movie Sweeney Todd yesterday. In it London is portrayed as a very dirty and dusty place. At the time people wore wigs a lot. If London was a dirty and dusty place and people carried a lot of hair on their head, real or wigged, then why was not anyone scratching their head at all in the movie? Why is London portrayed as a very dusty and filthy place in movies but you never see the British scratching their heads? Is it in the shampoo they use? :)
I thought lice causes you to itch. But will lice behave benignly the more dirt, dust and hair is around?

You got to rinse it first before you let it dry...

I'm referring to cleaning dishes by hand. The British have a belief I find very weird. They think that after they clean the dish with soap, they can let it dry on the rack without rinsing it first. They think it is ok. Personally, I think this is bad hygiene. If the soap/detergent dries on the plate, chances are that the chemical will find its way in your body next time you eat on that plate.
I used to have this argument countless times with my British roommates when I studied in England. While it is true that the plate is clean from the dirt, what they don't understand is that it is not safe if you don't rinse it! Do you think it is ok to let the soap dry on the plate?
