I believe there's still quite a few North Koreans at large in the UK who missed their flight home back in 2012.

Quite a common thing with the Olympics and Commonwealth Games wherever they are hosted.

I was looking up passport power indexes the other day.

I didn't realise Pakistan, a nuclear power with a population of hundreds of millions, has a weaker passport than Somalia. It only bests Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan in visa free locations.

Gawd knows how miserable, or impossible, international travel must be with a document that risible.

Solution - become the finest caber tosser in the land and then vanish when you're sent abroad to bring the glory home.

Of course every time you do that you make the Pakistani passport even more toxic for others. But that's someone else's problem.

I'm sure they've just extended their time to enjoy the delights of Glasgow, they'll definitely return home before their Visas expire in October. Definitely.

By the time you've seen one statue with a traffic cone on its head you've seen them all.

Reminded me of the Ben Bankas skit on non-returning World Cup visitors (not-PC!) ..
