The boxer got pulled at Malaga for missing a court appearance a little while ago and is now in nick.

Customs swipe them through their machine and any naughties show on their screen, they did it at Gib also last time I went through.

That's unusual. I have been through loads of times and they have never even looked at the passports - we just waved them at them.

Was it just you or were they doing that for everyone?

Hi all, so sorry for the lack of replies- what a bad time we've had - hence no pc, dosh woooo don't bear thinking about! Anyways, found out what it was for, a driving under the influence Warrent for arrest from 2002! He went to court the next day and was given a bank account number to pay at a Banco prior to leaving the country. Think it was for 630euro. He only had his credit card to pay- but the bank refused to accept this. I tried in vain at this end to pay through a bank transfer-which was incredibly difficult as they needed a swift number etc which he wasn't given!! I found on the web an exact address etc enough to get it sent through which enabled him to be able to catch his return flight back home!!!What a polava!! BUT THIS IS NOT THE END!!!A few days later my bank sent me a letter to say it hadn't been paid due to lack of info!!! OMG still not paid!! Tried and tried to find out but unable to read Spanish!? So, sent the money via transfer to his brothers account in Spain to pay.....ahh....done......NO!!!!!!!!!!Recently found out the brother was behind on rent and used it to pay for it!!!!SO ITS STILL NOT PAID!!!!
IS THERE ANY POSSIBLE WAY WE CAN PAY THIS DAMN FINE ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!SHOULD I WRITE TO THE ADDRESS WE HAVE AND ASK????EXPLAIN????HOW FOOLISH DO WE FEEL??? ANY POSSIBLE HELP PLEASE????????????:(:unsure:

It took me three seconds upon reading the post, couldn't resist answering.

Wait, I remember your nick! I can hardly believe it's been that long. I've been quite busy with work and all, but I see you've been here all along.
I might peek again in the forum every few months or so, enjoy!

This link shows 3,000 people are killed or seriously injured each year in the UK through drink driving. That is 3,000 too many

Taking that risk is irresponsible and the drink driver should be punished
