If you ever think your having a bad day...

Just imagine you could be Bruce and you could have forgotten to bring your badge to work AMIGO

flazio · 26-11-2015 12:12pm

I'd say this programme is doing wonders for Shannon Airport traffic. The Shannon customs officers are coming across much better and professional than their Dublin counterparts. (And might I say some of the female officers are kind of nice looking)

He'd probably grill you on where'd you buy the camera, do you have a receipt and then seize it off you.
On a serious note though I think photography is banned around there.

Ha ha. I noticed that too. He ran behind him with the badge in his hand behind his back. It was almost like the camera man knew what he was like and zoomed in on it for the craic!

Tonight's show of Stop Search seize showed the arrogance of some people who wear a uniform and it seems to give them a sense of power over others. A young guy travelling from Eindhoven was unlucky enough to meet one of those officers and was subjected to what I would call bullying and unnecessary arrogance from a rude ass who firstly I could hardly understand myself and I'm Irish because he spoke so fast and had a thick accent.

All he had to do was answer the very simple questions, and not be a dick about it. He would have been done in a couple of minutes, instead he acted like an asshole. Customs officer was fine.

LOL, a kid? Thankfully we don't have observant people like yourself working on our borders, you'd be slipping him a lollipop and sending him on his way with a wink and rub on the head. He was a grown adult FFS.

As for the most recent episode, the worse part was the stupid fake sirens they put on every time they showed the emergency vehicles at that plane.

Bazzy · 27-11-2015 4:45pm

What amazed me the most was the girl with the BMW they only went after her because she had being posting stuff on facebook including about checkpoints.

Theyre really watching absolutely everything.

Her defence of my sister works in a solicitors office was excellent.

Bruce is a wild card but it works both ways he does pull the agressive card a bit too soon but it does work well.

I was Doe'ing or cvrt or whatever its called now an import campervan and was using the same centre for a second time the guy had lost the weight from the previous time I questioned him about it and he straight away said stop being agressive

I'm far from agressive but straight away I was on the back foot spoke a lot quieter only after I left , I realised what he had done he played it very well.

The shannon guys are the best your man dermot is a legend

esicorty · 29-11-2015 1:06am

Shameful bullying by overpaid out of touch civil servants. The two ringleaders identified should be removed from the airport as they have shown their unsuitability dealing with tourists. Better placed sucking diesel out of ford transits on a wet side of the road for that pair!

Have you ever left the country and had to go through customs and immigration checks outside the EU? They arent the tourist welcoming committee

The young Dutch guy? are you happier now? His image was scrambled but it was obvious he was late teenager / or very early twenties. That to me is a kid. What difference doe it make?

My point was that, whatever age he was, he was treated appallingly. The age is not relevant but carry on with your fine observations.

People like myself??? how have you any idea what I am like?

ThisRegard · 30-11-2015 3:36pm

He wasn't a teenager. He was an adult. My point about "observant people like yourself" is that you obviously can't differentiate between a child and a fully grown working adult.

How do you know what age he was, and what difference does it make to the general discussion?

The image was scrambled. Unless you were there of course !

His age was irrelevant to my point and the general discussion...

People like myself? you're dead keen to lump me in with some generalisation you have in your head. You don't know me or what I stand for or how I treat people.

Great point.... well made

Prediction for tonight. Bruce gets sacked for being an ignorant little bollox.

Atlantic Dawn · 01-12-2015 11:02pm

They should do a total up at the end of the series to see who caught the most amount of stuff coming through.

Atlantic Dawn · 01-12-2015 11:04pm

Ha ha, the Chinese captain trying a few bungs, lol.

Atlantic Dawn · 01-12-2015 11:08pm

The captains a real wheeler dealer.

PurplePrincess · 01-12-2015 11:08pm

Bruce was doing his thing in Terminal 2 this morning, there was 3 girls walking out in front of me pushing trollies and he was saying to them they'd an awful lot of luggage for a few days away. He looks and sounds like he's out to get you.

Samsgirl · 01-12-2015 11:13pm

They should send Bruce down to Rosslare. He would sort out that guy with a flash of his badge.

Atlantic Dawn · 01-12-2015 11:22pm

Did he just get away with no search for playing the race card?

Samsgirl · 01-12-2015 11:34pm

Customs guy in Rosslare seems to have gone to the same charm school as Bruce.

Samsgirl · 01-12-2015 11:36pm

Does poor Dermot ever get a day off??

Mc Love · 01-12-2015 11:44pm

I was wondering about that black lad, did he get off not being checked?

5starpool · 01-12-2015 11:57pm

Irish customs officers seem much ruder than those in UK/Canada/Australia from similar shows. I don't know why there aren't translators available to customs agencies either like there are in other countries.

His job isn't about being charming... sometimes in that type of job the best approach is to put on a bit of pressure and gauge the other person's reaction.

I'm sure you'd have something different to say if they showed an alternte version of the show from the perspective of people waltzing through customs channels with drugs while having a charming time chatting with lovely friendly customs officers who wouldn't dream of upsetting or challenging anyone ... :rolleyes:

Mc Love · 02-12-2015 12:10am

Possibly the weakest episode yet this season

He was downright rude, barking questions.

ComfortKid · 02-12-2015 1:07am

Worst episode of the lot tonight. There must be no drugs or big amounts of cigarettes coming in to the country..

How many more episodes in this series?

" See that yellow bag thats from amsterdam duty free" - What a line from bruce

The chinese captain was some buck alright cigarettes in the pocket swiftly followed up by I dont smoke anymore very funny.

The 4 lads at shannon were defo suss and fair play to dermot he kept at them and at them they nearly cracked

flazio · 05-12-2015 12:56am

Dermot does seem to do a lot compared to other customs officers, I remember a few weeks ago he was part of a raid of some sort, and now heading down to Foynes for a search. I wonder if any of the Dubs get away days?

Yep, terribly weak by Leo to fold

It should be a criminal offence to attempt to pull a stunt like the one he (the non white driver that was stopped) did.

Customs seize massive amounts, obviously so far not during the window of filming this show though.

somesoldiers · 05-12-2015 7:11pm

There really wasn't enough material for 20 hour long episodes, what are Sky thinking?

There's no doubt the customs do a good job in their various departments and do have big seizures, I suspect a lot of the big port importations are allowed through so the Gardai/Customs can track the importers, so they wouldn't make it on this show anyway but the show is only serving to make Customs look like a bunch of bumbling idiots who are seeing drugs everywhere there aren't and harassing travellers needlessly.

greenore · 08-12-2015 10:47pm

Maybe a bruceeee bonus tonight amigos?

bazermc · 08-12-2015 10:52pm

Man united beaten and a new episode of stop search seize. It's like Christmas Day already.

muirsheen · 08-12-2015 10:53pm

Ok buddy

Atlantic Dawn · 08-12-2015 11:39pm

They should get the customs lads one of those translation apps for their phones/tablets.

Atlantic Dawn · 08-12-2015 11:42pm

Badge out, wohoo.

Atlantic Dawn · 08-12-2015 11:51pm

Why have none of the other customs officers at either airport used their badge at all in any of the shows so far except Bruce who uses it nearly every episode?
