mjmooney Posted January 2, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2014 Another blue ribbon moment for mindless bureaucracy Before you whine about an airline temporarily losing your luggage, think of poor Boujemaa Razgui. [snip] A similar story: A neighbour of mine spent several years building an amazing working scale model of a WWII U-boat. You could open the panels to see all the inside details, and it actually moved, dived and surfaced by radio control electric motors. Even had its own authentic docking area, based on the St. Nazaire pens. Eventually he decided to sell it and put it on eBay. It sold to a guy in the midwest of the USA - I don't remember the price, but it was considerable, and deservedly so. Anyhow, he crated it all up in wooden boxes, padded to the nth degree, and meticulously labelled as to contents. The US Customs decided it was potentially a drug smuggling device, broke open the case, and smashed the model to bits to check the insides. Having decided it was clean, they sent the debris on to the recipient. Both buyer and seller were heartbroken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Pretty Woman on BBC1 now. A nice romantic tale of a rich guy who pays a hooker, falls in love with her and wins her heart by buying her expensive stuff. That's about the just of it isn't it? I think I'll watch aliens again.

No doubt she was a hard working honest hooker whilst he was a tax dodging rich guy though.... Thankfully I've never seen the film ...

leemond2008 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Nope I've never seen it either and have no inclination to watch it, a girl at work didn't believe me when I said I had never seen dirty dancing, I was equally as shocked when she said she had never seen Zulu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
