How's this for crude behavior? For all you prospective bank robbers out there; most banks have a stack of bankrolled money which contains a small explosive charge and a red indelible dye - the idea is that when the robbers come to the pay out window they are given the charged bank notes which then after several minutes explode covering the getaway car and passengers in the dye.
Well, one such bank robber sued the San Jose (CA) cops for not getting the ambulance to him fast enough because they were laughing so hard.
There being no honor amongst thieves it seems that during the getaway he put a stack of money in his trouser pocket and when the "small" explosion went off and he was immediately separated from his testicals.
The police found that very funny - me too, truth told, in a grit-teeth kinda way. :roll:

Does anyone have experience of ordering books from Amazon.com for delivery to Bali?
What is the % probability they will arrive?
Will import taxes or the like be imposed?

I received some DVD's through Amazon a few years ago. (present from a forum member).
Yes, I had to pay import duties.
I also regularly receive DHL stuff. 100% arrival.

I have received several DVD's from both the USA and Europe in the last year without problems. Also flower seeds from the USA and Australia.
I did [b]not[/b] have to pay any import duties here and am still wondering why. Especially with respect to the flower seeds. I imagined all kinds of difficulties with them, but everything was OK.

Can we gather from this that you are playing DVDs to your flowers?
I've heard that plants react positively to music but hadn't heard that they like DVDs. What do you show them "Day of the Triffids", "How green was my Valley" or maybe "Grapes of Wrath"?
On a more serious note; the image I'm beginning to get is that there are no hard and fast rules but that the Chaos Principle seems to rein supreme.
Good! love chaos! When it's expected!

Now you are learning mate :-)

Jimbo I can accept, neh welcome, a degree of chaos at some levels. 8)
Where the fun [i]really[/i] stops is with bank accounts (sorry, there is a parallel thread for those who don't understand).
So I am, possibly, learning but perhaps not in the sense you may mean lol. :roll:
