    Ok Ive figured out what it is, its not actually customs drilling into the mask, its qctually some sort of insect, not a woodworm but some sort of beetle, the holes were so perfectly circular that I thought they were manmade. I found one little beetle inside there today. It has been brought from Kenya by the way. Gonna try and kill them all quick before they multiply take over Ireland.

    Be very careful with this. A friend brought something back from Africa a few years ago which was infested. It wasn't until the weather warmed up that these buggers hatched. She had to stay in a hotel for a week while her house was fumigated and all her furniture was removed and destroyed...
    Have a google for advise but off hand I would stick it in several bags and put it in the freezer.

    Aaargh. I just learned something in After Hours.

    Stop it, people. This is no place for enlightenment!

    Then perhaps you should leave, Lumen.

    Probably were testing for drugs, etc but they should have at least notified you of their intention to do so!
    If it was a very dear work of art, you can bet a gallery would be suing their ass off!

    If your item was expensive, a trip to a good solicitor would be advised.
    yeah probably checking for drugs the thick f***ers
    I posted a small wooden bowl home from South America. When I got home I found they'd drilled a small hole in it. It's wood:rolleyes: not a bar of cannabis.

    maybe they should invest in a sniffer dog
