That's a lot of money. I wanted enough money to possibly not ever have to work
again.
And he said, we're going to have to do Class A drugs. And I said, yeah, I know.
How can this be legal?
They never asked to see anything. They just let me walk out the door.
What can go wrong?
Quite a lot, actually.
You're thrown in some stinking jail in the middle of nowhere. It's not funny
anymore.
What a sort of normal...
routine, run -of -the -mill place, unfortunately.
But it is.
I didn't want to stay.
Delay levels.
And then it was like, make your mind up as to what career you're going to do.
It was very much people trying to push me into doing something that I wasn't
ready for.
I didn't want to settle down, have kids, get a mortgage.
I didn't want to do that.
I didn't want to be stuck in a boring, dead -end job in a bank or something.
I wanted to go places and see it all.
But then I met Mary.
Mary was very,
very confident looking. She was very tall.
Men immediately sort of went like that when she came in the room. I mean,
everything that you could want about a girl, you have it.
Very quickly, we set up home. Kind of all the things that I decided I didn't
want. And yet, Mary was a very interesting person. I loved being with
had a great time, but we were in England.
Do you fancy going out for a drink tonight?
Why don't we just wait till next week? We've got our paychecks in.
I think that's fair to know. We should go out and have fun.
I do bar work in the evenings and at weekends.
I did a cleaning job.
We just never got to the point where we could even go for two weeks abroad. We
were constantly in debt.
I couldn't feel into it.
Suddenly, Mary's brother comes back from Taiwan.
He'd come back to England. The sort of prodigal son returns, I suppose.
He had lots of money.
Hi, sis. Hi.
How are you doing?
I'm good, I'm good. You all right? Other than that, I didn't know anything about
him. Didn't know what he was doing in Taiwan.
Nobody knew what he was doing in Taiwan, in fact. You're looking well.
Yeah, it is. Nothing's changed out here, is it?
No, unfortunately.
Same old crowd, same old people.
Obviously, you can't help noticing the fact that we are struggling. We haven't
got loads of money. The furniture's a bit rough.
God damn, are you even standing on this couch?
Spring's gone.
It is a bit old.
Should I buy a new one? Yeah, I'd like to.
There's plenty of other things you'd have to buy first.
You buy a new house for starters, I don't know how you guys can stick it
here.
He had large envelopes full of cash, you know, and he decided, are you guys
needing anything, do you want some money?
One thousand.
There you go.
Are you taking a piss?
No, mate.
It's yours.
No, no.
Don't be silly.
I've never met anyone who could quite happily just dish out hundreds of
thousands of pounds without any worries at all. You know, you're going out with
my sister, both £1 ,000, use it wisely.
Well, yeah, but if we did, we'll have to pay you back in some way, you know.
We can't just take this off you. Who cares? It's yours. Take it. Smells nice,
doesn't it?
I mean, even the thousand pounds that Keith gave us initially was more money
than I was making a month. See you later, pal.
Bye. Thank you.
Brilliant.
I've never had this much cash in the hand before.
Mary called him a couple of months later and he said, well, I can help you.
All expenses paid to Taiwan, you'll pay for everything.
You will then give us an apartment and help us find work.
Easy money.
He said, I could pay all those debts off for you. I could get you a couple of
flights out here to Taiwan as quickly as you like.
Not making much sense, Keith.
The opportunity to go travelling, to get out of this boring routine.
Well, I've got to speak to Mark about it. It was like a golden opportunity. I
wanted to go immediately.
I said, yeah, of course I want to go.
Mark's putting his thumb up and saying, yeah!
We weren't worried about what he was doing, how he made all his money. It
occur to us that anything could be wrong.
He was helping his sister out.
Keith asked us to work out how many debts we had and give him a figure. And
told him it was around £3 ,000, and he paid it.
He was quite specific on the travelling arrangements. He wanted us to buy a
round -the -world ticket. Keith wants us to go from London into Newark, then
across to Cleveland, then to Los Angeles, then to Hawaii, and then all
round to Sydney, and then get to Hong Kong to then get another flight to
And I thought that was a bit...
A bit strange, but he was paying.
Two round -the -world tickets.
How much?
That's fine.
I was getting into the hang of it. Now, put the phone down, call Keith. It's
going to be 1 ,600 quid.
And he also asked us to buy some decent luggage to travel with. And if he
thought that we should buy expensive suitcases with locks, I wasn't going to
argue.
Why would I want to do that?
After that, he was a bit more specific on the fact that he wanted us to go to
Australia and stop there.
There could be a million reasons why he's asking us to do this.
It's not a huge problem. I don't, you know, I don't want to be rude. I don't
want to ask him, you know, start giving him a hard time. He's paid out all this
money for us.
Hi, Keith, yeah.
Yeah, it's Mark. How you doing, mate?
He then said that he did want us to collect something for him from
What sort of thing?
I was a little bit worried.
I must admit, that was a little bit worrying. It got to that point.
OK. It did say to me, it's not drugs.
It's not anything illegal.
Don't worry.
Oh, yeah, that's no worries then.
That was fine from my point of view. That was all the assurance I needed. I
said, OK, well, if it's not illegal and we're not going to get in trouble for
it, then whatever.
We were both very happy to be there, and we just bounced out of that flat, gave
the keys back.
Terminal 1. We had around £2 ,000 in travelling expenses, but you can't beat
that feeling of having more money than you need.
We were the happiest people on that flight, I'll tell you.
Definitely.
What can go wrong?
Quite a lot, actually.
Things change quite quickly.
The best mashed potato made with rich double cream.
The best pork, blossom honey and whole grain mustard sausages.
The best onion gravy with red wine and thyme.
The best...
bangers and mash.
The best range from Morrison's.
Exceptional food for every day.
More even to shop at Morrison's.
My facelift fund.
I'm working towards that. I nearly had the money for my facelift, but now I've
got the drive needed to do it.
If you haven't been, go!
As a boy, it was his favourite place.
Now. Any chance of a rope or a ladder? He's going back to discover the only
thing that changed.
Burn in hell. Rot in hell. You're my hero.
Who turned that? Your lawyer. Was him.
This place doesn't suit my life.
It is your life that doesn't suit this place.
Russell Crowe. Every one of my memories takes place within a hundred steps of
this very spot. Are they good memories?
They're grand.
A good year.
You'd think it would make sense.
The less you eat, the slimmer you become.
Actually, research shows that people who regularly eat a low -fat breakfast like
Special K are more likely to be slimmer than those who skip breakfast.
And don't forget, Special K is less than 2 % fat.
Eat breakfast, stay slim with Special K.
I'm leaning over my baby's cot, who's only three months old and has a fever.
So I've given him some Neurofen for children, which works where it's needed.
With his little baby thermostat, helping reduce his temperature, so he'll feel
okay. Neurofen for children.
Nothing reduces fever faster or for longer.
Mmm, fluffy.
Thank goodness it's dinner time.
Start licking your lips for chips.
Magical chips.
Wonderful chips.
Good.
The last will and testament of Mr. Moore.
I, Frank Moore, being of sound mind and body, do hereby leave all my worldly

In 2005, extraordinary people met Juliana Wetmore, the girl born without a
One year later, we returned to witness a pioneering operation that could offer
Juliana hope for a better life.
Building a New Face, 9 o 'clock next Monday on 5.
We spent the next ten days having fun in Australia, living it up.
We were in love again. We were like a couple of kids, giggling, and we were
so happy. No responsibility, no worries, no money problems. We had more money
than we could possibly spend in two weeks.
We just did whatever we fancied, like that.
Taxi, we want to go somewhere. How much? $50?
No worries.
Excuse me? We just went out and ate in restaurants, every meal.
English breakfast, yeah, I mean, that is, I think, one of the life's little
luxuries if you can pay for breakfast, you know.
You don't have to worry about housework, cooking, washing up. That was
brilliant. It really was.
Playing by the pool, getting drunk in the middle of the day.
Let's have another beer, let's get drunk. It's only two o 'clock in the
afternoon, but who cares?
We're out, we're doing it, we're enjoying ourselves, we're in the sun in
Australia.
Nothing could go wrong.
Nothing, we thought.
So we got to the end of the holiday.
Keith said to us that the night before we were going to leave and get on the
plane, somebody would come to the hotel and they would drop off what it was that
he wanted us to bring back.
We had no name. He didn't tell us what time he was going to turn up. He just
said, make sure you're in all that evening.
It was
around
about 10 o 'clock at night. It was quite late.
There was a knock on the door.
And we were both thinking, is this room service? Is this the guy?
And I went to the door, opened it, and there was this fairly sort of tattly
-dressed guy.
And he just said,
Michael Maron? Yeah.
I'm standing there with this bag.
So this is what we'd been waiting for. This is the time where we thought,
what is it that we're dealing with?
And there was a book or a magazine or something just on the top of the bag.
I went to the bed and just upended the bag.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
We counted it. There were bundles of...
10 ,000, I think, 250 ,000 Australian dollars in cash. It's the most
money I've ever seen in my life.
Fucking hell, that's a lot of money.
And we were desperately worried about where he got all this money from.
It looks very much like it's drug money.
How can this be legal?
Blame me, isn't it?
Initially, I said, well, if there's anything that's remotely dodgy, I'm
put it in my suitcase because I don't want you to get into trouble. I know
your brother, but I'll take it, whatever it is. But it wouldn't all fit. There's
no way I could get that much money in my suitcase and not make it obvious. You
know, there had to be stuff around it.
So we ended up having to use both the suitcases.
It's too late to back out now. We're leaving tomorrow.
We're going to get on the plane and we're going to go to Hong Kong.
We've got to do it.
We had just a few hours sleep.
We had the bags that were already packed.
We did not leave these suitcases unattended for even a second.
And I realized why it was that the keeper asked me to buy them.
With that amount of money in them, they needed to be sturdy. They needed to have
a lock.
And to a certain extent, I was glad that we had bought them because I wouldn't
have felt safe carrying that sort of money in a rucksack.
When we got to the airport, about to leave Australia, all
around the airport there were warning signs that we were going to take out.
roughly 240 ,000 more dollars than we were supposed to.
I then went back to Mary sitting in the coffee shop and said, well, look, this
is the rule and this is the one that we're breaking.
We're not talking about drugs after all or exotic animals or anything. We're not
doing anything really wrong. We're just taking a bit more money out than we
should. We talked ourselves into it because we had no choice at that point.
had to do it.
Hong Kong's a free port. They don't care what we have in our suitcase.
So really, as long as we took off from Australia, we were going to be okay.
The most worrying bit was checking your luggage because then it was out of our
hands.
Every bit of luggage gets x -rayed.
We knew it was a risk that we were going to have to take.
And then we just had to wait until the flight took off and that was just
endless.
On that plane, I was still expecting, even when the door shut, I was still
expecting police cars to come around from all directions and get off the
And as we were taking off, I
thought, OK, we're taking off, but they could turn the plane around and we could
land again.
And eventually we got over and out of Australian airspace and then I suddenly
went, we've done it, we got away with it. The luggage is on board,
cool. All we've got to do is land in Hong Kong and we're fine.
That was probably the best feeling of the holiday.
That was like, Christ, we got away with it.
When we arrived in Hong Kong, Keith said to us that he would meet us at his
hotel.
It was around $5 ,000 a night to stay in this hotel.
It was kind of run -of -the -mill for him. He's like, yeah, it's quite nice
here. Hey.
Welcome to Hong Kong.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
He was smiling,
we were smiling, we were relieved.
It was all kind of hugs and smiles all round.
Did you have a good flight?
Yeah, it wasn't bad.
Probably one of the most nerve -wracking flights I've had.
Yeah, I could see that.
Scared of flying?
Keith did then say, you're going to have to give me all the money and we had to
get it all out.
There should be more, yeah?
OK.
Give us an hand.
We put it in the safe, so he just loaded a lot of money into there.
Closed it, locked it, end of conversation about that money. Other
to then say, I'm going to pay you another £8 ,000 for doing that job for
Eight grand.
Sorry, how much? Eight grand.
Here you go. That's for you.
Take it, bend it, enjoy it.
That's for you.
You look a bit better now, both of you. Yeah. You look a bit nicer.
Yeah. I feel much better now. I thought you might.
Listen, there's two Pantos Suites in this place. Why don't you book the other
one?
Yeah.
Possibly. I've never earned £8 ,000. I mean, £8 ,000 is about what I earn in a
year. See you guys in a couple of hours, yeah? I'll buzz you. We'll meet down in
reception, yeah?
We'll give you a call.
Yeah.
Nice one. Cheers for that, mate.
Thanks for that, mate. Cheers.
But when we get to Taiwan, that's it, we're making a bow, OK? Yeah, yeah,
No more dodgy stuff. Like, he's going that way, we're going that way. We were
not going to do anything else for him, for any of his friends, anybody.
Oh, I just can't believe we did that.
And then we started talking about going to Taiwan. The conversation about the
money was over.
We were not going to mention it again.
Landing in Taipei and driving through the city, it was chaotic.
As we then started going up into the mountains, it was obviously then
more peaceful, quiet, picturesque, lush green mountains in a tropical country.
And I just thought, this is... Yeah, this is it.
This is the life.
It doesn't get any better than this.
How many people at home are seeing this?
They're just going to the local pub and walking on those dreary grey roads with
grey houses over a grey sky.
I was totally ecstatic.
Keith. got us an apartment. It was a lovely place, a very quiet little
full of Taiwanese peasants.
We've got this huge nest egg of money.
We had a great time.
I was very happy. I think at that point Mary was not sure being in that sort of
country and I said to her, give it a couple of months and you'll feel better.
kind of fairytale lifestyle started to look a bit shaky.
The longer we were there, the worse things got.
And eventually we started to argue.
Mary was almost certain that I was going to have an affair or I'd had one or I
was planning to have one.
Chinese women used to throw themselves at Western men all the time because it
was like being a celebrity.
It was nice for me, I enjoyed it, but Mary was getting kind of a little bit
paranoid then.
This is not what she expected.
And I was trying to tell her that I wasn't interested in them. Whatever I
it didn't make any difference.
It was inevitable that things were going to go wrong.
We were rowing about everything. Everything and everything that you could
possibly row about, we were having a row about it.
We got to the end of the road.
We went off in different directions to get separate taxis back home.
So I got a suitcase, put some clothes in it and went.
We started off on this magnificent journey, this dream, and suddenly life
shattered.
The only place that I really could go was one of Keith's friends, Paul.
Paul was involved in drugs.
He was quite open about the fact that he used to smuggle in cannabis, stuff like
that.
He did mention the fact that if I was really that short of money and I wanted
make a lot, there was a business that was worth getting involved in. And I
the sort of profits that were going to come from that from what I'd already
done.
It started to look like it was...
the answer to all the problems I had at that point.
Stuck in a foreign country with no money, no job, no income, no way of
home, no return ticket.
It just seemed like instant fix.
Hanging from a pine tree by my knees, sunshine through the shade. Nobody knows
what it's all about.
Too much, man. Let it all hang out.
Let it all hang out.
Let it all hang out.
Brewed with citrus hop for an effortless taste.
New Foster's Twist. Let it all hang out. Laid -back lager.
You coming too, Jason?
Suppose. Have you discovered Iceland's amazing value?
Kerry, have you seen this?
Curry for a quid.
And garlic, Kiev.
Kieran, get another trolley.
It's their time in Iceland.
They must have got these prices wrong.
Quick, fill up the trolley while I create a diversion.
Iceland's clear -cut prices mean great value all year round. And because we
our prices simple, there'll be no -nots to be surprised if at the checkout...
That's why Mum goes to Iceland. He's not the good.
Enjoy the goodness of olive oil every day.
The Tolley Spread.
Hi, I'm Nick, and I'm quitting with Nick Whitten lozenges.
Could have done with a cigarette several times already.
I'm going to have one of these and hopefully help me out. Today I've
found a couple of moments quite hard. My colleagues as well, they've given up
smoking today. And they're going cold turkey and they're actually going mad at
the moment. Very happy to have given up smoking.
It's getting a lot of other people I know near me and that I care for,
thinking about it and think, you know, if Nick can give up, then maybe I can
give up.
Yeah, I like that. Be strong and quit with nicotine.
In 2005... And the award goes to... They conquered Broadway.
The History Boys.
The History Boys.
The History Boys.
Who else knows about this?
Now, they're coming to the big screen.
Really?
The History Boys.
There's loads of saturated fat in a bag of Walker's crisps, isn't there? What do
you reckon? 95 % of your guideline daily amount?
Well, the truth is, there's only 5%. Just
thought you'd like to know.
Are you thinking about quitting smoking?
You're twice as likely to succeed with nicotine lozenges compared to willpower
alone. Be strong and quit with nicotine.
Step out of the office, Dad.
It's called overtime, not all the time.
So sit down at Pizza Hut for the new Cheesy Bites Pizza.
28 cheeseheads with beautiful toupees of garlic butter.
Play with them, rip them, squeeze them.
Yes! This party's for the kids! The 9 -year -old, the 12 -year -old, and the
-year -old! Come on, Dad!
Unleash the happiness!
I wanted enough money to possibly not ever have to work again, to travel, to
maybe invest in buying a house back in England.
I wanted something that was going to set me up for life, not something that was
just going to keep me going for a little while.
We're sitting outside, smoking dope as usual.
And I said to Paul, Let's do a deal and make ourselves a decent amount of money.
Are you sure?
Yes. And he immediately understood that we were going to have to get involved in
something which was going to be a little bit more dangerous and a little bit
more dodgy. But the payoff was completely different.
We're talking, you know, half a million dollars.
And he said, we're going to have to do Class A drugs. And I said, yeah, I know.
And that was pretty much the crux of... That conversation.
It was no longer than two weeks after I split up with Mary.
I was on a plane to San Francisco to do this job.
Neither one of us were particularly keen to deal with heroin. It mostly came
from Thailand.
We all knew about the risks of going to Thailand, trying to leave with large
quantities of...
of Class A narcotics, and we weren't really keen to get involved in that.
However, cocaine is easily available in the United States.
We wanted to take it to Australia.
We're talking about Western countries.
We're not talking the death penalty, basically. We were looking at what could
happen, worst -case scenario.
I checked into an ordinary run -of -the -mill motel in San Francisco.
I was a little bit nervous, I was a little bit scared, but I was also quite
excited and I felt in control of my life.
Somebody was going to come to my room.
They were going to drop off a parcel.
It kind of got like strangely familiar.
Inside the bag was a solid block of cocaine.
And I'd never seen that amount of drugs before in my life. And it was jaw
-dropping kind of surprise.
Bloody hell.
I did start to use it. This was fantastic. Made you feel great. Only for
an hour. You'd have to have some more.
And there was so much of it, it never seemed like it was ever getting any
smaller. I was getting through several grams in a day.
I have a line for breakfast. I know, I'll go and have a beer by the pool. A
couple of lines. What? Cup of tea and another line.
It was like taking on the gangster persona.
Scarface was sitting in the jacuzzi like this. I had loads of money, again.
I had loads of Class A narcotics.
Things were looking up again.
As the week went on and I was doing more of this stuff, it seriously started to
affect me mentally. I almost totally shut myself in my room.
I got totally paranoid about the whole situation.
Helicopters were going overhead, spying on me. I felt everyone knew what I was
doing.
And I just did more and more Charlie.
I was getting ready to leave and I decided that the safest way
of smuggling anything is to swallow it.
You have to wrap all the drugs very well in case they burst.
I dipped the condom in maple syrup and swallowed it or tried to swallow it.
Eventually I managed to force one down and then another one and then another
one. By the end of the night I'd eaten 67.
But that still left me with probably around half the stuff still unwrapped.
It was too much stuff.
The morning of the day I was going to go, I came up with a rather rash,
improvised plan.
I taped the rest of this stuff.
around me.
I thought, well, I should have done this in the first place. And I was now
actually a little bit worried about having swallowed 67 condoms full of
because there was enough cocaine in there to kill me a number of times.
I definitely started to feel a bit mentally unbalanced, I suppose.
I wasn't confident of Paul's ability to get rid of it. He promised me that we
could.
We had no contact in Australia and things were looking suddenly a bit less
arranged than they had when we started.
I just wanted it to be over.
It was very easy to leave the United States.
I didn't have to go through any official immigration.
There were no customs.
It was then that I had to deal with a 16 -hour flight, which was probably the
hardest bit of it, actually.
I'd been up all night eating these things. I started feeling quite sick
I had 67 condoms inside which were not being digested. I was uncomfortable
because I had this stuff strapped around my middle and I started to suffer
withdrawal symptoms.
And I had a line of coke for about...
six, seven hours at that point. I was starting to feel a little bit seedy.
I was very tempted to get up and go to the toilet and have a line of Charlie,
which in fact is what I did.
I just remember that. I had a line of Charlie on a plane. Fuck, how stupid was
that?
So arriving in Sydney, I was really emotionally drained, physically drained.
I got to immigration.
I just wanted this guy to look at my passport and then let me go to customs.
The guy in the booth looked at me.
That was just endless.
Could you give it to Australia today, sir?
I'm just into importing and exporting crafts and handmade goods and things
that.
OK, what are you saying, Australia?
He was basically happy and he said, have a nice day.
I walked on to the customs hall.
I'm here now. This is it. I'm almost done.
I was expecting somebody to at least stop me and have a look through my bag,
it never happened.
They never asked for anything.
They just let me walk out the door.
I was counting my money, already thinking in my head, you know, I've done
I'm rich. I've made a fortune with this job. And it's been a nightmare, but I've
made it. I'm here.
I'm free.
So off I tootled towards the door. Excuse me, sir.
And there are three customs guys standing away from the others, two older
and quite a young guy, and they were obviously training him.
One of the older guys said to the younger guy, do you want to search him?
said, oh, well, maybe, yeah. Yeah, I could do, couldn't I? Yeah. He said,
it would be good practice for you.
I'm not at all worried at this point. Maybe a little worried, but I'm quite
confident that my luggage is safe.
He got his little inspection gloves on
and he opened the bag and he took everything out.
I was taking insane risk at this point and the things I said to them
weren't awfully a long way from the truth.
Do you know much about Australia?
Not a lot, but I'm able to learn a bit more while I'm here. Pick up some of the
tourist guides and stuff like that.
What do you know about Australia?
I know you've got kangaroos here.
I know the weather's much better than it is over in England.
It is, it is, yeah.
I've been told the Australians are all very nice, genuine people.
Some are, yeah. Most of them are, actually.
You didn't find anything?
Not a thing. Not even a porno magazine.
You couldn't find anything that was even remotely dodgy.
So he said, okay, well, that looks pretty good.
Yeah, I think that's it. Actually, you can go.
Okay, so thank you very much. Thank you for the cooperation. Actually,
just one moment. I want to do a pat down.
I've got to avoid this somehow.
Oh, I'm actually running quite late now. I've got a meeting.
I understand, I understand. But just put your bag down for me. No, I can't,
actually. I mean, I need to go.
To be honest, you're kind of, like, pushing it a bit now. Just a couple of
minutes. Yeah, I'll search your bag. Just need to do a quick back down. He
to do it. I can't get around this.
It takes really two minutes. Oh, OK.
Perhaps he might not feel it.
I should get you to lift your arms. Thank you.
Put your arms down, sir.
Just to ask you a question, sir, do you have anything around your waist?
Do you have anything around your waist, sir?
I felt something there, sir.
I bluffed it as far as I could go. There wasn't anything else I could do.
I just said to him, it's cocaine.
And his jaw just dropped. He didn't know what to say.
And he said... He said, are you serious?
And I said, yeah, I'm serious. I said, you're going to find it anyway.
You've already found it. What am I going to do?
Pretend it's like Beecham's powder or something. It's cocaine.
I bought a whole load of cocaine from America.
I'm telling you now, that's what it is.
Maybe it sounds odd to say that it was a relief to get caught, but I mean, it
was.
There were no deadlines to meet, people to meet, dodgy deals to do.
I was just dead tired and I just wanted to sleep. It was finally all over.
The implications of what happened didn't really sink in. It didn't hit me that
I'd been arrested for trafficking narcotics.
I was just in my own little world. It was like out -of -body experience. It
almost like I was looking down on myself.
They started telling me that the quantity which they'd found, which was
something like 700 grams at that point, including the little bit in my shoe,
which they'd obviously found,
And I said, well, hold on a minute, guys. There's more than that.
There's another 200 grams, and it's all in condoms, and it's in my stomach. I've
swallowed it.
And they just panicked like mad.
He told me straight out that...
Yes, he'd swallowed something like 60 or more condoms of cocaine.
And when I asked him how long he'd had them inside him, he said 45 hours. And I
was that opinion at that stage that he was in real need of urgent medical help.
His complexion was changing. He was changing colour while I was looking at
I thought literally that he was going to collapse at any time and die in the
interview room.
Something more shocking than how it ended is how it all began.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The beginning.
The new finest British range.
Succulent pies filled with Yorkshire beef and beer.
Norfolk pork braised in Herefordshire scrumpy.
Wild Scottish venison casserole. But don't worry, there's still everyone's
favourite from the West Midlands.
Chicken tikka masala.
Tesco. Every little helps.
I'm just like you. For me, it's all about looking natural. I never thought
color my hair. That was before new casting cream gloss from L 'Oreal. A
new hair color that even with no ammonia blends away grays. The creme transforms
hair for rich, glossy tones.
My hair never felt so soft. And my color never looked so shimmering. Super
glossy. All this and no ammonia.
It's the hair color I've been waiting for. And yours? New casting creme gloss
from L 'Oreal Paris in 16 shimmering shades.
You're worth it.
The bigger the challenge, the more you need Duracell.
Down go the ordinaries in carbon batteries, victims of exhaustion.
Down they go, up he goes.
When endurance matters, we can all count on Duracell.
Duracell lasts longer, much longer.
In a land long ago lived Mama Kinder, who loved making little treats for
children. Her rival was the chocolate baron. He made boring things for grown
-ups. Not yummy, happy hippos made with no artificial colours or preservatives.
When the baron laughed at all this fun, Mama Kinder's unicorn sent him on his
way. Now kids can go free to fun days out. The Kinder Disney Card,
packed for detail.
Going to the bar, I presume.
Sir, the soup of the exotic.
The epitome of excellence.
It's the last one.
Enjoy the softness of new fairy fabric softener. Nothing is softer than
sensitive skin.
Why have scented candles when you could have Glade scented oils? Once lit, its
unique warming plate melts the candle into a pool of scented oils that fill
whole room with fragrance. And when the oils are gone, the candle goes out.
Glade scented oils fill the whole room with fragrance.
And now there's new Glade scented oils trio. Create a centerpiece.
or line them up. New Glade scented oil trio.
Create a new scented style.
Glade, the welcoming scent of home. Estee Johnson, a family company.
They immediately bundled me into an unmarked police car with four big burly
federal coppers, all armed, and took me straight to St George's Hospital.
The next thing you know, there's a guy handing me a clipboard with an operation
consent form on it, and he said, sign here, or
you're probably going to die.
Then they had to squeeze all the condoms along one at a time until they came out
of the incision that they'd made.
They were stuck in a narrow part of my intestine which had been cut in a
previous operation and made smaller.
They weren't going to go through.
If I hadn't been caught, I would have died.
Basically, getting caught saved my life because there was no way that these
condoms were going to come out.
I was vaguely aware when I woke up that there were two guys with me and
immediately I realised that they were federal police, they were guarding me, I
wasn't going anywhere.
The ramifications of what I'd done, the fact that I was under 24 -hour guard by
federal police, the fact that they were armed, even in the hospital, that's when
it started to really kind of hit home that I was in deep trouble.
I was actually then allowed to speak to my mother for the first time a month
after I was arrested.
God knows what she went through when she found out.
I know she was appalled. It's not appalled, she wasn't angry with me, but
was just so upset that I could have died doing what I did.
She was upset that I didn't just call her and say, can you buy me a ticket
home? It was probably one of the things she was most upset about. She said, why
didn't you ask me for help?
I felt really guilty for that, for that reason, for putting her through it.
Really guilty.
It was probably the worst bit.
in jail was just awful
