  1. Just Dling "Taboo" a UK miniseries.

    1814. James Delaney reappears in London, a changed and haunted man, presumed dead in Africa many years before. His return finds his father, Horace Delaney, dead and a country at war with France and the United States. Set to inherit what’s left of his father’s shipping empire, James’ arrival not only threatens to disrupt the plans of his half‐sister Zilpha and her husband Thorne, but also the political ambitions of the mighty East India Company, chaired by Sir Stuart Strange.

    All inclusive beach resorts from the US to Mexico are almost cheaper than staying home. 7 days flight, hotel, all drinks and food right on the beach under $1,000 US no problem. No ladies of the night though, so bring your own.

    The Poms would call it Benidorm...

    So, now it's an AFP funded operation.  :smile:

     

    Seriously, they don't even use helicopters for surveillance, let alone, thermal imaging of drug crops. 

     

    Your talking about Phuket right?

    I said could be, A infra red camera turns anything green into red, they find the pot plants by taking photos of thousand of acres of vineyards or orchards or forest with IR cameras , The pot plants stand out as bright red spots as they are greener and denser than the majority of plants and planted close together like all commercial crops

    Saves thousands of hours in foot work, believe it or not 

    In the rows of grape vineyards   they are bright red spots  in the rows of lighter red grape vines

    Way to much jungle for that to work.

    Yes i know this, the  Albany highway is 300 to 400 kms long with just a radar warning sign at each end of it and a couple of places in the middle, They catch the mugs every day who think because they have not passed a radar in 30 minutes there are none around

    Between Geraldton and Carnarvon is about 500 klm and one police car with a radar mounted on the side drives both ways once a day and catches plenty of speeders 

    Was staying in Swanny and visiting other family around Cott, Claremont, freo and the signs were everywhere.

    I have noticed both in Australia and South Africa that they put permanent warning signs on rural roads warning  people that radar is used in the area, one radar camera is used in several different locations so you never know if one is there or not but it slows most people down thinking they may be caught speeding

    Very true, just back from a holiday in Perth and notice lots of those signs.
