Hes talking about the delivery people?

In the beginning, Fowler created the Heaven and the Earth. -
True story, I got arrested when I was 20 on holiday in Greece (Symi). Steaming on multiple sambuccas. Me and a mate climbed onto a massive (MASSIVE) yacht in the harbour, and as we went to dive off it, the feds turned up.
We dove off, I swam across an international shipping channel (apparently) and they fired a shot into the air (apparently).
Once I go to the other side I had a slight issue in finding our clothes which were left on the side of the dock fairly close to where the Police were, and had our wallets and passports. Once I did get them and dress, I sauntered casually past the police and met up with my mate and the girls we were with.
After walking for a bit the Police turned up by us in cars and took us to the station at gun point. This was pretty sobering.
It turns out the yacht was owned by a Lebanese guy, and he was paranoid about being assassinated... Not amazing news for us. We would be taken by boat to court in Rhodes in the morning. We had our passports scanned and sent to Interpol.
The event that swung things in our favour was that the Lebanese guys boat was crewed by Turks, and the greeks hated the Turks. The Greek police ended up being fairly forgiving and were enjoying noising up the Turks. However the case wasn't dropped until this local jeweller was deployed to broker a 'deal'. Ultimately to point out that 2 young guys in there early 20's hammered on tons of booze were unlikely to be international assassins.
This all predated the internet and mobile phones, so it was pretty terrifying and I was very much imagining being front page news in the UK the following day.The relief I felt when we were released after about 36 hours was indescribable.
Oh to be young again.

You've noticeably glossed over the time actually spent in a Greek prison

We never actually got put in cells. Just in interview rooms. Fortunately the resolution came before we were taken to Rhodes.
We were so wasted as well. I do recall that when we were taken for questioning I could here them interviewing my mate so our lack of story was sorted as I could hear what was being said.
Another fly in the ointment was the boat was registered in Guernsey (tax I guess) and we both had Guernsey passports which added to the Lebanese paranoia.

He’s showing total disrespect for the justice system on Greece - I don’t think it’s a good look, or likely to play out well for him.Last edited by Buzzo; 26-08-20, 07:22 AM.Modifying post.Comment

Haha I didn’t realize he’s a Buddhist, now!!
Although, didn’t Buddha also write “Precept #5” (not to be confused with Lou Bega’s “Mambo #5”)
Precept #5: I observe, refraining from taking any intoxicantI don't tipComment
