    What skills have you got and where is your contract?

        In that case I don't give a feck if you make it or not!

          There remains a small risk from unexploded mines in certain desert areas in the north west of Egypt near to Alamein, and on some limited stretches of the Mediterranean coast near Marsa Matrouh and on the Red Sea coast south of Suez.
          Be careful on that daytrip to old WWII battlefields!

          Seriously though, you will regret not going and I guarantee you won't regret going*. If you were worried about odds like that, you'd never cross the road.


          * Even if you get the most spectacular case of the tulips known to man.

              I appreciate your comments, but tell me, would it make a difference to you if it was you plus spouse or you, spouse and kid

                Nope, unless the missus didn't want to go in which case I'd go on me own. Me and the missus have been there, by the way, so I'm not just spouting.

                  Well, if you can get your money back, you can probably pick up 3 weeks in Sharm for a fiver from Lastminute.com at the moment

                    I've already said, I'm not an agent.

                      I expect you are doing a cruise down to Luxor?

                      Amazing place we went in 2000 (there was a incident pre al queda in 97 where 50 tourists were shot on a coach trip but there had been nothing since) BUT it's a place you HAVE to see before you die. Karnac, Luxor temples, valley of kings,temple of hatshepsut, Nobels, queens and Artizans (those tombs are in much better condition than the kings). You'll love it. People are VERY friendly but they hawk like no other nation. In the organised trips they leave you alone. We did stuff on our own and you get non stop pestered.

                      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
