    how ever the concerning bit is that the dogs were not spotted on arrival. was customs just Lax or did the Depps hide the dogs??

    if customs were Lax then some one need a kicking there.

    if the dogs were hidden ie smuggled then some one needs a kicking because then the Deppps should have been prosecuted.

    i can not think of another option.
    If the skipper of the plane knew, then the ultimate descision would lie with him, I would think.
    It would have to be a conspiracy

    Heres the rub and it always annoys me..

    And Actor, Singer, Performer is a profession....

    They are NOT celebrities - they are employed to do a job (make a movie, sing a song, perform for the benefit of the people).

    They are NOT there to be worshipped or above any laws or better than the people who pay their salary..

    So why is it that we, the public, give them the status of celebrity?

    Goes to show the ridiculousness of the general public....


    Another example in Australia is the Prime status given to bloody Football...
    I watched an educational and quite serious broadcast interrupted by the "newsroom" to bring an important announcement regarding some dickhead football coach and his drug use... You have got to be ****ing joking!!!!

    Cheers, Billy.

    Actually on the Gold coast. Not sure about the preferential treatment. Fairly sure about the Gold Coast council sucking up, to hopefully bring the dollars in. Bob
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    And why were at it Tombie, I hate how they wear sunglasses inside so you can't make eye contact, I reckon it's to hide the glazey eyes resulting on too many cones.

    I'm in,
    I have breeding pair of cane toads and a glassy eyed rabbit that I simply must bring though.
    They get lonely if left alone too long.

    You know, after reading through this thread I think of an interview a few years back with Paul Hogan. He said an actor "pretends" to do things, in the middle ages they were called Court Jesters, you know those funny blokes with tight pants and three pointed hats with little bells on the ends of them, that used to try and make the King/Queen laugh.

    Every time I hear a story about an actor acting like a goose, I think of the Court Jester, because that's all they are, entertainers nothing more.
