    Er Houston we have a problem

    Ordered a laptop from the USofA. It's not that it's late or anything, but I just wondered if it might be here. So I checked the tracking in ebay.

    Oh dear. Customs bum hurters are on to you.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      If you'd asked I could have smuggled it back up my arse for you.

        That'll be the import duty the nice taxman wants off you?

            Laptops are apparently duty free items.

              Possibly. There could be VAT as well.

                Or there could be some dodgy porn on there. Maybe a Yewtree issue!

                  Begs the question why are you buying a second hand laptop off some dodgy USA based seller off ebay? Dell will do you a new one for around £500 quid

                    Or terrorist plans. Oh suity what have you gotten yourself into? As if experimenting with causing explosions using microwave radiation wasn't risky enough
