    I think it's a real shame. We started going there for diving back in 2004 but it's gradually been getting busier and more chavtastic everytime. The only time I ever felt close to being unsafe was when they gave the taxi drivers new cars and they all seemed to want to thrash the bollox off them.

    Obviously you need to be a bit careful what/where you eat. Anyone who has ever been been can tell you about the state of the toilets at Yolanda! They have stuff living in them.

        My recollection of slumming it at the Sheraton in Cairo was some wallah standing by the urinals whose job was to pour water down the bog after each tinkle, obviously i should have stayed at the Hilton - rookie mistake
        How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

            Yeah a bit, she is 6 younger than me and I don't look old, I think they said it to get a rise out of me.

                  Maybe they didn't fancy your daughter? You could have got lucky!

                    Luckily Charlie Hebdo's witty comments will help defuse the situation.

                      Come on, Spain as a risk is nothing like the Middle East!
                      "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero
