Would this affect flying to sharm el sheik between 7th and 13th sept ?....

[DJHawkes]

my son goes to herghada in 5 weeks : (

[naomi24]

Sharm isn't on the Arabian peninsula - and neither is Hurghada. As for travel, no one knows what's planned, so you can only make your own decisions.

Britain's closed its Yemen embassy over the weekend but I think that's about all

Does that mean we should be afraid to leave the house to go to the shop!!!!

[LazyGun]

Well, if your shop is in Yemen, might be wise to forego the visit to the cornership, rely on the freezer and fire up the xbox over the weekend :)

[tonyav]

You'll be ok, Spoony.

[Spoonboy]

I love being glib, Tony.
Sorry Lazygun, no XBox only PS3. But I've packed it away ready for our move northwards on the 24th of this month.

[Spoonboy]

Well I'm off for now. It has been fun on here, again.

Before I go, in the spirit of Blue Peter. I have some parcel tape, permanent marker (purple) and plenty of cardboard. I'm off to make myself a flak jacket, just in case.

Bye everyone. Inimitably yours,

Spoony xx

[tonyav]

G'night, Spoony.

[Answerprancer]

I wonder how long it will be before our beloved government starts a new terrorist-hysteria power trip as a result of this.

[LazyGun]

I dunno, AP but i really want to see Spoonys Flak Jacket once he has finished it :)

[Answerprancer]

He knows the score ;-)

Haven't had too much bother up here since Smeato gave burning boy a swift boot in the nuts at Glasgow airport.
Maybe the whole terror thing's being over analysed.

[Baldric]

Best keep the Brodie handy then aog, just in case!

I was made to believe by the same Americans that Al Qaeeda has been defeated and there is no more threat as USA has liberated the world. Must be a hollywood movies then because that is where the Americans are at best when it comes to saving the world.

Keyplus, //I was made to believe by the same Americans that Al Qaeeda has been defeated and there is no more threat as USA has liberated the world. //

Where did you get that from?

[ChillDoubt]

I've never visited a Muslim country and in the current political climate most certainly wouldn't do so any time in the near future.

It's a personal edict I'll be sticking to for some time to come....

[tonyav]

Same here, Chill.
