Sex on the Beach

The cocktail is for lightweights, but this is serious business. Two Brits who were found in intimate circumstances on a beach in Dubai have been sentenced to three months in prison. Vince Acors and Michelle Palmer had met at a 60-pound all-you-can-drink champagne blowout. They insist they were merely “kissing and hugging” when spotted by witnesses and authorities. In fact, their sentence is a bit lenient by Dubai standards—the charges usually carry a term of six months to a year.
