And hey, he's 60. Probably forgot his prescribing doctor's name, yanno?..."Doing Rambo is hard work and I am going to be in Burma for a while. Where do you think I am going to get this stuff in Burma?," he said...
$3K = about 5 minutes of his time. Book 'im, Danno.

No. Those are all athletic performance enhancers. Hardly the crack or smack.
EDIT:Beirut, it was 3k plus 10,000 in court fees. But being as they would be Auzzie $$ it wasn't really that much.

Aboot the cost of a Moose in the redlight district or $5 US... longtime.
Seriously it is a slap on the wrist... but the drugs are more therapeutic in nature then recreational/destructive.

Good the Aussies spare no celebrity tho'.
As long as Joe Smuggler gets the same treatment for the same amount of drugs, I'm OK with it.
Anyone know what the Burmese (Myanmar) penalties might be for importing illegal substances? The Aussies might have saved his life.

First blood to the Aussies then.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Dear God, that's a rocky road to be travelling. I dredd to think what Gregoshi is going to inject into the thread.

BG, you've got to be careful with that talk or you'll get this thread up for demolition.
