Just watching a USA customs programme.

The sniffer dog alerts on a backpack. A search reveals a tiny wrap containing barely enough marijuana to cover a match head.

The owner is arrested and handed over to the police.

Customs official, "What ever it takes to keep America safe man..."

Read this mans book recently. Cliffs- the drugs themselves, per se, are not the problem but how we deal with their supply is. He now campaigns  to end the prohibition of drugs. A really gd read and has solidified my position on drugs.

That looks good Mr ecan. I'll check it out.

Don't get me wrong I'm totally anti drugs, it was just this guy's attitude that annoyed me.

I'm totally the opposite especially as my drug of choice,Alcohol, is perfectly legal to buy but has many of the characteristics that make other drugs illegal.

I suppose checks & safeguards are needed, but this one sticks in the throat a little.

In fairness, the various authorities seem to have done a great job of tracking him down.

Fair play to them, that's impressive sleuthery.

Officials at the Prison are quoted as saying ' worse case of suicide we've ever seen.'

Congrats are in order.

Gd luck Tikay.  Hopefully be a few more pages of your exploits for me to catch up with later in the morning.

Decent effort Tikay.

So after my trip to Normandie I have quite a few pics but these are the pick for me. First one is me wearing my medals for the first time in over 20 years. The second is with Ernie, a Day Veteran. Didn't to talk to him for long but to meet the guy was very humbling.

That's great. I need details though, (and photographs) both about the medals and you when you got them.

If I had a medal I'd wear it all the time, even in bed.

Obvs pics to follow although as there is only two of them details will be a short matter.

Include pics and details of you when you got them and other stuff from your military career.
