I guess extreme measures are needed if we're to save a certain Amiga.org users' eyesight :-)

Well, according to my Middle-East contact, the semtex will cost half a camel.

Doesn't make much difference to me, as mine keeps falling over with only 2 legs.
But do you really think that Bloo...erm, our anonymous A.org user, is worth the back end?..then there's the fun of taking it to the Post Office. :crazy:

Ja, the customs sticker will be interesting:

Type: gift
Description: arse-end of camel
Value: may be worth a go

HM Revenue & Customs Officer: Anything to declare sir?
Bloodline: Only my stiff socks and this suspiciously large, half-dromedary shaped package.
HM Revenue & Customs Officer: Have you noticed all these flies buzzing around?
Bloodline: Yeah, they're a nuisance around the rear of any camel at this time of year?
HM Revenue & Customs Office: Are you saying that I'm a camel's arse?
Bloodline:  No sir, but you can't fool them flies.
