Drug tourists expect 'quick fix' spirituality. Tossers.

Why travel thousands of miles to buy rubbish drugs when you can get the same stuff off a bloke with dirty fingernails in Camden?

This piece about a jellyfish sting was so placed by the PR for sting-b-gone or whatever the hell they're selling.

Still, it's a timely reminder that the sea is full of things that don't like us.

They'll never sell us that can of anti-jellyfish spray though. Not while everyone on Earth has seen this clip:

The first GOOD travel news I've ever reported: Free Drugs! Yipee!

Bless those hapless Japanese customs officials and their Keystone Komedy Kapers.

Somewhere there's a lucky passenger with 10,000 Australian Dollars' worth of free weed.

AN unsuspecting passenger who flew to Tokyo has a large package of cannabis in their luggage - courtesy of a bungled Customs training exercise.

An officer at Narita International Airport yesterday stuffed 142 grams of the drug into the side pocket of a randomly-selected black suitcase coming off an overseas flight so that the animal could detect it.

"The dog couldn't find it and the officer also forgot which bag he put it in," a Customs office spokeswoman said.

"If by some chance passengers find it in their suitcase, we're asking them to return it."


Assuming they make it though customs at the other end. I'm looking forward though to this little mishap forming the basis of a defence strategy for some particularly chilled-out airline passenger. Are you listening, Paul?

Should you stay? Should you go? The age-old problem resolved

funny graphs
more song chart memes

Two hot new ways that airlines use to rip you off

1: Priority boarding

2: Charging to let you carry ONE bag

It's almost as if they don't want you to fly at all. Maybe they'd prefer it if you spent your money on enchantingly slim volumes of humour instead?

I can make one or two recommendations in that area, if you like....
