IOL: Revealed: prince's colourful shopping habits: "London - The Saudi ambassador to London's allegedly colourful shopping habits have been revealed in an embarrassing expenses claim including guns, karaoke machines and 'party night' girls, a report said on Friday. The more than £three-million (about R34-million) claim also includes expenses for top-of-the-range off-road cars, a thermal night-vision kit for his Hummer H2 and a £391 bill for a takeaway meal, The Guardian said. The bills were included in documents submitted to the High Court by a former employee of Prince Mohammed bin Nawwaf bin Abdul Aziz, a nephew of King Abdullah, who is claiming he was not reimbursed for the expenses. His family's former private secretary Walid El Hage, a Briton of Lebanese extraction, says he spent money on the prince's behalf during trips to Rome, Vienna, Casablanca and Paris in 2004 and 2005. Items detailed in the expense claim, published by the newspaper in full on its website at class='sectlink'>www.guardian.co.uk/saudi/story/ :"
