Off Topic Maybe a local Egyptian could help out a local woman's plight in Egypt

I'e never said she should get off, I have said from the outset that the punishment is harsh and out of kilter with the scale of the offence.

 

You were the one pleading ignorance of local laws is a defence.

 

She could have had an unlimited fine and 14 years under our laws.

 

Painkillers, whether they are Paracetamol or Tramadol are perfectly legal in the UK.

I wouldn't know if they were legal abroad. This is the point I'm trying to get over.

 

You know exactly what I meant.

 

Prescription drugs require a prescription in your name. You'll get into trouble in large parts of the world for not having the prescription with you (for example, even if you are just on a stopover from Heathrow to Australia via Dubai).

 

I think Castro's been taking some of these Tramadol judging from the endless ****e he's posting...

...only joking Casto, but for **** sake...

 

See OLM's answer; it's too obvious to be restated.

 

Ffs, yes I know.

 

So, her "boyfriend" asks her to bring something over for her. Why didn't she ask him why he didn't get them himself in Egypt?

 

Why ??

 

You do have a point.

 

Just cause we tolerate abuse of the NHS and don't enforce our penalties doesn't mean other counties don't.

I take a number of strong medications, maximum I can get on prescription is 2 months worth, only 1 months forvsome as they monitor their effects. So how come her mate had a spare 6 months worth? Some people are being a bit taken in by all this.

 

So what is your question if the answer I gave is unsatisfactory? In fact, never mind. I avoid these threads for this very reason.

Merry Christmas everybody.

 

That makes more sense than some of the excuses on here.

 

I always thought you was on some sort of medication after reading your posts

 

Reading yours I suggest you start on some. Tramadol maybe?

 

Merry Christmas mate
