[07:55:52] <FatPhil> chromas: do you not have the "pregnant father" expression in the US?
[07:59:28] <janrinok> FatPhil, to be honest I hadn't heard that phrase before either, but the meaning is clear.
[08:14:34] <FatPhil> I always preferred it to "having kittens".
[08:16:24] <FatPhil> there's more emphasis on the "but I can do nothing to help" implication
[08:17:50] <FatPhil> ooooh, late last night: 'Released by Customs'
[08:18:48] <FatPhil> But we've been here before. The different couriers are incompatible when it comes to communicating our telephone number. It somehow gets removed from the packing slip by the time it reaches the only country in which it really matters, here.
[08:19:21] <FatPhil> Last time, the package got sent back, they didn't try to work out how to contact us given our name or our address.
[08:27:19] <janrinok> at least the French are more honest - they say "we've got your parcel, we will deliver it sometime"
[08:30:43] <FatPhil> This isn't estonian post (now owned by Finland), this is DPD. Eestonian post would at least sent a slip to tell us to pick up the package which is better than a courier delivery just being retarded and confused.
[08:31:11] <janrinok> I don't know DPD
[08:31:33] <FatPhil> something kraut, but not very efficient!

[08:34:39] <janrinok> Apparently, they are the second largest 'courier express parcel' service in Europe - they lose your parcels faster than most

[13:05:01] <AndyTheAbsurd> Anyone here know what one should expect to pay on the street for cocaine?
[13:05:41] <AndyTheAbsurd> I'm wondering how much the Florida Highway Patrol is inflating the value of a recent bust; they're claiming $100/gram (and seized 12kg).
[13:43:53] <chopchop1> muh inflation and Bureaucracy
[13:44:29] <chopchop1> "we took 12 million dollars of cocaine off the streets"
[13:44:46] <AndyTheAbsurd> yeah, that's what they're saying.
[13:45:00] <AndyTheAbsurd> So my question is: do people really pay $100 a gram for cocaine?
[13:45:26] <chopchop1> whos doing all dem drugs?
[13:45:49] <AndyTheAbsurd> Or is this same level of exaggeration as Reefer Madness is re: the effects of marijuana?
[14:24:08] <FatPhil> $100 seems on the cheap side, but I only know expensive countries (civilised bits of the EU)
[14:26:12] <FatPhil> Now I know why yanks don't like metric, they can't even multiply by powers of 10 correctly!
[14:26:33] <janrinok> I suppose it depends upon whether we are discussing production costs, dealer costs or street value - and I haven't a clue about any of them
[14:27:44] <janrinok> American 10s are much bigger than European 10s, they are probably manufactured in Texas...
[14:29:31] <janrinok> but the maths looks good
[14:30:49] <FatPhil> 100 $/g * 12 kg * 1000 g/kg = 1200000 $, not 12 million
[14:31:11] <AndyTheAbsurd> If you think the Texas-manufactured 10s are big, wait until you see the Alaska 10s!
[14:32:13] <janrinok> ah, I was reading Andy's comment not chopchop1's
[14:32:44] <FatPhil> I don't see any multiplication in what AndyTheAbsurd said.
[14:33:11] <janrinok> me bad then
[14:33:14] <janrinok> my*
[14:34:24] <janrinok> I must have led a very sheltered life - I wouldn't even know where to going looking for some and most certainly wouldn't look cool trying to buy some
[14:34:49] <AndyTheAbsurd> I mis-read chopchop1's comment, I should have corrected that it was $1.2 million, not $12 million.
[14:35:24] <FatPhil> I'm the kind of guy who gets asked to *sell* dope when walking into random new pubs in several different countries.
[14:35:51] <FatPhil> It's very hard to explain your way out of that situation when there's almost no language overlap!
[14:36:13] <janrinok> have you had to practice your lines on the police yet?
[14:37:23] <janrinok> "honest I'm a programmer - No, I haven't got a criminal record - I just want to get drunk...'

[14:38:29] <FatPhil> Fortunately not. I do have a little blemish on my official record in at least one country - but I was not at fault, and it was nothing to do with druuuuugz.
[14:39:30] <FatPhil> I was arrested whilst doing X. The case was so confusing they even got the foreign minister involved. He recommended the simplest solution was for me to do X.
[14:39:39] <janrinok> lol
[14:39:49] <chromas> Ex is a drug though
[14:40:15] <FatPhil> X = going from Finland on a day trip to Estonia.
[14:40:24] <chromas> You monster
[14:40:36] <FatPhil> My 12-month-long visa had expired whilst I was in Finland.
[14:40:44] <janrinok> wouldn't they let you back in? So that's why you live where you do
[14:40:53] <FatPhil> However, Finland had joined the EU during that time.
[14:41:06] <FatPhil> So I didn't need a visa.
[14:41:06] <janrinok> lol - so you didn't neet a visa!
[14:41:12] <janrinok> need*
[14:41:59] <janrinok> so you couldn't have committed the crime even if you had taken the foreign minister's advice!
[14:42:34] <janrinok> damn - you had it tough
[14:42:36] <FatPhil> THe outgoing border control said, in error, "we can let you leave, but we won't let you back in". I thought that was a Bad Thing, so decided against it. Then there was the "Please come with me" phase of procedings.
[14:43:26] <janrinok> you could write this script and get it on TV!
[14:43:41] <janrinok> I'd watch the whole bloody series!
[14:44:13] <FatPhil> It was over in 3 days, fortunately.
[14:45:04] <FatPhil> The head of the aliens unit of the police called me in, to give me my passport back, and gave me his card, saying "if you have any problems, get them to call me immediately", which was nice.
[14:45:24] <janrinok> yes, but if you pad the script a bit and include a semi-naked girl you have a 10 week run on the BBC
[14:45:58] <FatPhil> He also said "it's not people like you we want to get rid of - do you see that group outside in the corridor? they're russians, we're getting rid of them this evening >big grin<".
[14:46:19] <janrinok> If we ever meet - I'm buying you a beer or three!
[14:46:30] <FatPhil> Oooh, well there was the side story of me meeting the American girl who also had her passport taken away from her at the same time...
[14:46:46] <FatPhil> I'd forgotten there always needs to be a romantic twist.
[14:46:55] <chromas> Netflix would like to order three seasons
[14:46:57] <FatPhil> Mostly because there wasn't a romantic twist :(
[14:47:20] <janrinok> yeah, but nobody would believe that so keep it in
[15:00:08] <FatPhil> And with upcoming brexit, the "i need more money as I snorted the last lot up my nose" sequel is just around the corner!
