FFS. I BOUGHT A CAMERA FROM A GUY IN THE USA THAT WAS CHEAP COMPARED TO THE UK, AND I GET CHARGED £38.95 FOR CUSTOMS CHARGES!!!

WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THIS WORLD!!! I ONLY WANT A FUCKING DIGITAL CAMERA WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY A FUCKING GOVERNMENT STEALTH TAX!!!

nasty people!! DIE TONY BLAIR!! DIE!!!

Don't get me started on computer issues.

Ouch, that sucks man.

You could have forseen having to pay custom taxes though, but still it sucks.

hahaha, sorry man, but this sucks so hard that it's funny. lol. Tough luck on ya tho, hope the customs spontaneously burst into flames tho. I guess they're racist..;trying to pick on a poor Italo-brit eh?

o...................m..........................g..................

Do you know what just happened?

Youll never guess. Go on. Guess. I bet you wont guess what just happened.

The parcel arrived today.....EMPTY!

SOME ROTTEN CUNT IN THE UK/USA HAS STOLEN THE THING FROM THE FUCKING PACKAGING!



My life is just shit.

I will try and solve my problem ASAP, but if you dont see me in a while, it means i am crying.

Tip of the day: never buy shit on the internet.

I would have to agree.

However, if you do, buy it on a credit card. That way you can get your money back pretty easily (at least in the US). Plus credit card fraud is a federal offense.

eugh. *pats derf on the back* but then that's why i only buy off UK websites. that way i don't have to pay horrendous shipping fees from the US and also if anything goes wrong it's a smaller area to figure out where it disappeared/got damaged. That's pretty nasty though *hugs*

Is "regular" fraud in the US a local matter then? Just wondering. The US has a relatively unique federalized legal system (as you know better than me ), so you'll have to look out not to confuse some of us euros with yer fancy laws hehe


EDIT: are drug offences federal too? And gambling?

I think those are per state, I'm sure there are some states in the bible belt where alcohol is an illicit drug

all those offenses are 'local' as far as I know, unless they happen across state lines. Any inter-state lawbreaking becomes a federal thing. At least, that's my understanding of it.

So, basically, if your mother gives me head while driving down a highway in Texas, I'm just breaking Texas law and whatever county I'm in at the time can try ne. If I cross county lines, it becomes a state level thing. If I cross from Texas into Oklahoma (or Louisiana, or whatever) while she's giving me head (and they can prove it) it becomes a federal offense.

Hmmm...if I crossed into Mexico, would the UN have to try me?

lmao @ state border-crossing example.


So, that also means i will be federally prosecuted if i drive over a state border while smoking a specific aromatic herb? lol

Speaking of these herbs:

Yesterday about 9 pm somebody knocked on the door of my gf's appartment (studio) in leuven, which she'll be leaving in a few weeks, so now it's for rent. Some guy came by (unexpectedly) to have a look at it. He was pretty weird she thought, and in her kitchen she has little scales (een kleine weegschaal). When the guy sees this, he asks: do you use that to weigh your weed ... my gf didn't know what to answer, she wasn't in total shock but still a bit.

I thought it was funny though. Too bad i wasn't there when it happened.

Actually, yes, but you'd be in more trouble for inter-state drug trafficing than smoking.

lmao at the scales thing. hehe.

"You can put your WEED in it!"
