Yes, and the economy with it. The tourist industry has nearly gone away.
It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

Sorry for the static John, CB radio is like this. Yep it's not looking good out there at the moment. If it's not one Middle Eastern country having a punch up, it's another one. Perhaps we should nuke the lot and start again.

Well, you boys did draw the lines in the sand, I suppose you know what is best ...

Just heard from a colleague who was due in Egypt tomorrow - we will be seeing him in the office instead as his travel insurance was cancelled, as were his tickets and the meeting he was due to have tomorrow. All at the request of host hosts within the Egyptian Government who aren't quite sure they will have jobs by time his meeting was due tomorrow. (They were paying for his visit and had arranged it all)

Killed stone dead any ideas that Egypt might be a democracy then.
Any way, best we keep out of it, plenty of extremists over there happy to turn
on any country trying to stick it's nose in.

The people my colleague was going to see aren't in jobs any more so their call on cancelling the meeting was a "good call". It certainly brings the severity of the Egyptian socio-political situation home when it affects ones work in the UK.

I think that the Army stepped up to the plate this time to head off more unrest. If whats his face had had a real hand on the militray to start with they would have tried to crush any protests.

My prediction is another election of someone who will give the people what they want. Not lips service like whats his face did.

The difference is I was obviously making a tongue in cheek comment, whereas you seriously meant it.



For someone who publicly claimed they knew me, seems to know me not all. Nukes will never be the answer to problems. Also comments you make are tongue in cheek yet my cheeky comments are too sirius for you? My oh my.

It was a tongue in cheek comment which Sirius picked up on Gary, don't encourage him!

It's a good time to pick up travel deals. Just booked 9 days in Sharm-El-Sheikh at a 5 star hotel all-inclusive for £210 (including flights!)

"Fights" is all very well, but the other side are using petrol bombs and AK47s, I'd want to even it up a bit with a BMG or three on my side....

I would suggest that was bit foolhardy, and lets all hope you get back in one piece. Sooner you than me.

I take it you have seen this?

Foreign Office Advice


May i draw your attention to this:
In view of continued unrest and the evolving political situation in Egypt, the FCO advise against all but essential travel to the rest of Egypt except for resorts on the Red Sea in South Sinai and those resorts on the Egyptian mainland in Red Sea governorate (including Hurghada). Enhanced security measures are in place to protect the resort areas. There have been no violent protests in the South Sinai resorts during recent disturbances in Egypt.

Anyway who knows, a terrorist attack might liven things up!
(That was a joke!)
