I Rarely Get Annoyed At News Stories, But...
...this one has really pressed all my buttons:

Have you ever wanted to take someone by the shoulders and shout, "You're a grown up. You are responsible for your own actions. Now go home"
Okay - I might be overracting, but do you think she has a case?

"I might be overreacting" - no you're not
"Do you think she has a case" - no, not a shred of one
The answer to a simple question should settle it :
"Would you have given back £2m if you had won it?"
The answer is obviously a big fat "NO" and she should man up (woman up?) and take responsibility for her actions.
"Do you think she has a case" - no, not a shred of one

//The Ritz originally sued Mrs Al-Daher for £1 million claiming that some of the cheques she handed over that night were not honoured.//
Frank discussion with hubby Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Al-Busaidi,
( i just love the sound of those long names from that part of the world ) next day .
They decide to put a stop on cheques - hotel sues - the lady in question decides that she better come up with a reason not to pay , in her defence
That's all there is to it

I think there's a flaw in that argument.
You wouldn't carry on serving alcohol to someone who was obviously roaring drunk, because you can see (or predict) what the outcome of more booze could be.
However - there's no way casino owners could know what impact losing £2million could have on a 'high roller'.
There are a (albeit it small) number of gamblers who can actually afford to lose that amount of money in one sitting.
I really wish I knew them...

I would suggest that the lady would have a number of people with her - staff and so on.
It shouldn't be hard to make the sole responsibility of one of them to ensure that this lady does not cross the threshold of any casino, ever.
On the basis that she is an adult, and can choose to go against the wishes of her sraff, then the staff person presents a written legal document confirming that the lady is not to be allowed to gamble, and she will not be responsibile for any of her losses, nor will she accept any winnings.
That should put a stop to this nonsense.
But as it stands? Casinos exist to make money - why would they suddenly decide not stop doing so when one client is putting eight-figure cheques down?
I don't think so!

From the report:
“I needed someone that night to tell me to stop playing and bring me to my senses,” she told the judge.
“If I had been told to stop, of course I would stop immediately. No one ever told me to stop or think about my gambling.”
Similarly, I keep electrocuting myself by stick tweezers into plug sockets. I am waiting gor someone to tell me to stop.
As it is, every few days my hair ends up looking like Macy Gray's

Where was the sheik, why hasn't he coughed up? Or is he expecting it to be written off, probably like the NHS bills that go unpaid. Hopefully Princess Nora will be banned from the casinos 'for her own good' once she has settled her debts. I wonder if she has paid for the cosmetic surgery she seems to have had.
