This is a question Travel

I've had guns pointed at me in many different countries, sometimes even by our own side. I've also sat on my own on a beach on a desert island, which was nice because nobody was trying to shoot me. Tell us your tales of foreign travel.

Thanks to SnowytheRabbit for the suggestion

Drugs and borders. Oh my.
On a trip to Paris with a group of about 10 people, we went from London on the Eurostar.

Jolly japes were had. One night, having enjoyed a medium rare slice of horse, sold as bouef, my friend Tim leans over and says 'You want to do some coke? Meet you in the bog'.

I looked slightly startled at him. 'Where the fuck did you get coke from?' I asked.

'Brought it in my sock', he replied.

'You fucking idiot. You went through customs with cocaine down your sock? Do you realise how much shit you'd have caused if you'd got caught?'

'Yeah, fair point. Sorry'. He said.

'Get rid of it, you twat, we're going home tomorrow'.

'Yeah, OK.'

So next day we're all on the Eurostar heading for London. Having a beer and chatting amongst ourselves, Tim leans over and says . . .

Yup.

Frogmarched to bog, I stood over him like a cross headmaster while he flushed it away.

That is what you get for associating with someone called Tim, Tarquin.

Call me a stylishly handsome, blithering idiot, but
wouldn't the most effective way to get rid of the coke be to ...

do it?

I didn't fancy
getting past drug dogs / swabs etc an hour after snorting a load of coke. They couldn't have done much, but it would have caused a lot of agro, I'm sure.

I wasn't really that into it anyway. It was 4pm or something on a Sunday. I just did it occasionally at parties.

My thoughts exactly
I had a splendidly twitchy flight back from Amsterdam when I realized I still had a wrap and about a teenth in my pocket.

The teenth kicked in by the time I glided though customs

win win win WINNER

What a waste.

This was a long time ago, so I can't say for sure,
but I would be pretty confident both of us had a fairly good stash at our homes anyway, so it wouldn't have been like we were flushing the last of our gear down the pan.

It was just logistics. I did not want to go through immigration with illegal class A drugs anywhere near me.
