I used to work in a Moozy country where unfortunately I had to spend several Christmas periods onboard, so as you can imagine there was never any bacon for breakfast, or ham for Christmas dinners. One Christmas the locals came into the mess and there sitting on the servers counter was a pigs head, surrounded by bacon rashers neatly surrounding it. Us expats had our lockers searched and a roasting from the manager, who had to organise a local religious person to come out and bless the rig. Over a few beers when we got off the culprit, an Aussie owned up to it and was allowed to miss his shout as a reward. So ol' mate come onboard to bless the rig; fair enough. My big question though, "Since all was sanctified, did youse get to eat pork for Christmas?" Cheers bear

No not that pork, it had to be thrown overboard by one of the expat crew.

The best baggage checkers are those little beagles at Launceston airport. Tasmania has quarantine regulations for interstate visitors.

Yes, no growl on it from me either. We need a grin now and again. Also, there used to be sniffer dogs at MEL airport but not seen them for ages. One of them once reacted to my small carry on backpack. I was asked any food and showed them nothing but I carry food in it nearly every day so he obviously picked it up.
