    Now now, I get the feeling people aren't taking the OP seriously.

    (S)he raises some interesting questions which I'll now address one by one:

    1. Can Muslims read? Based on visual observation and subsequent comprehension-checking of the Muslims in my class, I can confirm that at least... Ah, that's already more effort than it's worth.

    *sigh* Allah be with the days when trolls would actually put a little work into their posts to appear legitimate and sucker people into arguing.

    *Sitting back, popcorn at the ready*

    You cant bring that in either as it will do something to the local flora and fauna and desecrate the local ecology or something.

    .

    I resent that. I take this kind of thing very serious indeed. I even tucked me lad back inside me y-fronts to reply.

    I always marvel at that program too.. Chinese girls arguing that their huge consignment of sweets is not actually 'food'..

    "No Food"
    "Do you eat it?"
    "Yes"
    "Then it's food"
    "NO FOOD!!!!
    and repeat x 10

    Those security guards must have the patience of saints.

    I bring loads of irish food back to Sweden any time I go home. black/white pudding, sausages, mcCambridge bread...

    People like stuff from home. big deal.

    Tried to get my brother to smuggle Bachelors beans when I was living abroad, customs weren't having any of it. Threw my beans away, the brats.
    What type of food is it the Muslims do be trying to sneak in anyway? Maybe the cans of chickpeas just aren't quite the same in oz? Or is it more sinister foodstuffs?...

    Can we bring whiskey into a Muslim country where consumption of alcohol is prohibited by law?

    And what happens to somebody who tries to take an Irishman's bottle of Jameson?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 919 ✭✭✭Pedant


    I imagine it would take all manners of stuff to make a bomb. Those pesky Muslims - stealing the notoriety of the Irish for bomb making.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    It's an Al Qaeda plot to smuggle a bomb into Australia to destroy the production offices and casts of Home and Away and Neighbours in order to send western morale plummeting.

    They had once planned to assassinate Paul Hogan, but then everyone forgot him.
    The flamin' galahs! They're worse than the hoons from Yabbi Creek! I wish they'd rack off.

    mostly Muslims

    Did they tell you what faith they were? Or you labelling them muslims for their skin colour?

    Whats wrong with the occasional bit of homely nibbles?

    No worse than the tons and tons of stuff that slips through customs at the port each day.

    You think it's bad just flying into Australia. They even have restrictions on the movement of fresh food across state borders:mad: Took all my nosh away just to charge extra a few miles across the border in WA.

    As for the bananas, small part may be due to certain pests but a large reason is market protectionism by banana growers in QLD. Even allowing for the floods you'd buy bananas cheaper in Europe than Aus.

    Every time I fly into Helsinki, I have a rake of rashers, sausages, Clonakilty white pudding, stuffing for chickens, Irish whiskey marmelade for the missus, marrowfat peas and a lot of other stuff you can't get in Finland ---:)

    I bet the Finnish customs are always muttering to themselves about those fcuking Irish atheists bringing in food, like there was a famine or something ---:D:D

    It doesn't matter to the Finns.
    Bringing in Irish food from Ireland would bother the Aussies though.

    For fun I did a search on boards for "bringing food to america" and it seems the Irish as well as Muslims like to bring fresh food to places where it can already be bought...
    Could be Irish Muslims though (I don't want to go off-topic here).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 191 ✭✭sweeney1971


    A Muslim can be any skin colour. Ireland would not be a Target.

    Are you counting a jumbo bag of Mr Tayto as Fresh food there?

    every incident so far (which i seen) were all muslim, the clothes were a give away, the food they were taking, and a few even said it.

    most were from india, malaysia.

    not all of these people are muslim i am sure but any i have seen so far seem to be.

    I watched it last night and there was a guy from Hawaii with a banananananana.

    Why do all Hawaiians bring food through airports?

    God Fucking help you if you try and bring a sandwich through JFK.
    They do not like that at all.

    A security woman swabbed my bag for what I assumed was a drug test last September in Manchester airport. She came back and told me "Sir I'm going to have to get you to talk to my manager as your bag has tested positive for explosive materials!" So I had a chat with the manager in front of all the other passengers about why I apparently was carrying explosives, told them I was a student pilot and they just let me go......:)

    A school friend of mine (to keep within the thread boundaries lets call him ahmad) always had the most sarcastic sense of humor ever and was going through an airport in america and said to the immigration officer " the bomb is in the other bag". Of course immigration officers are noted for their sense of humor also, but this one being the exception, well long story short, one long interview and full body cavity search later, he was released.

    What? :pac:

    People bring stuff they don't think they'll be able to get in the country or stuff that will cost them an absolute fortune. As long as it's declared, no problem. If it's knowingly concealed, it should be deportation and an exclusion order. Too dangerous to be risking entire industries and jobs for someone's delicacies. Anyone have experience of bringing Taytos over to Australia as a matter of curiosity? Would it be taken from you even if you declared it? It's a packaged good, can't see that being a risk surely.
