This mustve been a one off! as it doesnt seem something that occurs , every day. Still seemed a little harsh on her being caught with such a small amount of hashish oil. Mind you i wouldve thought anyone with 1/2 brain wouldnt have taken that risk! especially knowing the consequences.

To Greece, the Isle of Lesbos perhaps?

Saw this on the news and was shocked when they said she was a 'she' - would have put money on that it was a bloke.

[bobbinwales]

I dont know whether her wife thinks that too, but back on topic is this really something the americans should be doing

[archibaldy]

Someone caught with a small amount of cannabis oil swapped for an arms dealer known as the Merchant of Death who sold weapons to terrorists. I'd think the Russians feel they got the better end of that deal.

As a related aside, Lord of War is a good film, I would recommend it.

[piggynose]

In fact lakeela if you listen to her speak you would think its a man, such a deep voice!!

It's "her" Adam's Apple that really gives the game away. Anybody know what WNBA is?

.... but her genders not the main point of the thread, shouldnt have touched on it

It was one of Norm MacDonald's favourite targets for gags.

[New Judge]

Thanks Bob.

I suppose the women who play the game are quite happy with Brittney's participation on their sport?

[bobbinwales]

dont know newjudge but she was a girl at school ,,,, but do you have a view on the release exchange newjudge

[New Judge]

No, not really bob. Until just now I'd never heard of her or of her detention in Russia.

[bobbinwales]

It just dont seem like a likeforlike swap newjudge

[tomus42]

It's just hostage taking. You got our arms dealer so we'll take one of yours (the cannabis was probably planted or fictional) and then we'll haggle behind the scenes until we get our arms dealer back.

It's always a risk when travelling to barbaric countries.
