Anyone know what can happen if you don't pay a fine for not having a valid ticket to use pubic transport abroad?

I got a fine on the S-Bahn in Berlin, the guy said I had 14 days to pay it but I leave in 7. He took my passport details and my home address, but what can he actually do? If it stops me getting on the plane home I'll definitely pay it (especially with the airport drama I've had already), but if not I'm really struggling to think what they could do with my home address. Send me a letter "strongly advising" me to pay it?

Anyone know about shit like this? Ta.

You'll be fine. Luckily the Germans don't have a reputation for being very strict when it comes to law and order.

Fake address every time.

Back home I'd completely agree, but seeing as I was going with the whole "whoops, I just made a mistake, honest", I was utterly shiting it that (somehow) he'd find out I was full of shite and take me to the station like he'd threatened to do previously.

I hate getting public transport abroad, simply because I'm always worried about buying the wrong type of ticket for the wrong service on the wrong day... and if I manage that right, stamping it in the wrong bit etc etc etc.

Plus I never have a feckin clue where I'm going, largely because the place names on the front of the bus are usual obscure bits of suburb which the thing links via the important bits you're interested in.

Did he catch you by saying "Good luck" as you were boarding, and you stupidly turned round and answered in English like a proper fanny?

Since my last post a huge f*ckin fire has broken out at the scrappy near the golf course about 2 miles away.

About 20 appliances there so far and the sky has gone black, loads of exploding sounds and a horrendous smell.

Like a scene from Apocolypse

Volunteered to look after a friend's dog and the little s**** hasn't stopped barking the whole feckin' night. 5 mins after he tires out, the red-eye flights start their infrequent take off path over the house. I'm going to be a right grumpy c*** today. >_>

I'm 25 today. Feeling auld.

I'm 23 on Sunday, I actually forgot my age yesterday when my workmates asked me what I was doing this weekend.

FFS! you're as young as you feel!

Happy Birthday you pair of twats! :P

I got two driving fines in Australia, which I didn't bother paying before I left. I got a few letters sent to my home address threatening me with court action before they eventually stopped.

Noted, details passed onto relevant authorities....

They have my details, hence the letters. I'm not overly concerned, I've no intentions of going back to Australia unless they can eradicate the plague that tarnishes the country.

Cane toads?

No wait don't tell me, this is going to be something hilarious like "it's full of Australians"?

No no, the Austrians are generally c***s, but that's a different story. It's their country though, so I was more tolerable of them.

It's the Irish that done my tits in, they're literally everywhere.
