Good point stence - also, gaz did (quietly) point out his customs experience was in 1994, well before any of this current terrorist hoo-ha.

yeah I know, just felt like being a pedant.

And for bitchiness' sake, I'll point out that I've had my stuff rudely searched by Spanish airport security upon leaving two times now, but hey I still love Spain and would go back in a minute if I could. One rude person in a country /= all people in a country

and that wasn't directed at anyone in particular, just saying.

The customs officers in the UK were hilariously uninterested in me. I told them I had food to declare (well, it was vegemite and bikkies) and they laughed and said "this isnt Australia you know - just go through!".

I wasn't sure wether to be relieved or insulted! =)

I mean in terms of 'ugly alliances to criticise the us for' israel's pretty far down the list (behind saudi arabia, egypt, russia, the uk)

What the fuck planet are you on?

Trayce, it wasn't really the original comment that caused the fight, more Oops's persistent inability to acknowledge that what he posted might have some dubious connotations. Admittedly, the fact that I think the guy is an utter prick did colour my reactions somewhat.
