Quagmire Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 my dad (who is pretty well informed and normally doesn't worry) has expressed his concern... my mum, who always worries (best one was me: "i've got a head ache" mum: "maybe you should get a brain scan" - not paraphrasing, literally what she said) is naturally planning my funeral. i probably wouldn't go if i hadn't already bought the flights, and the girlfriend is pretty convinced it's safe as houses and would be pretty hard to persuade it's a bad idea. so...can anyone tell me how safe it is?

rustyboy Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I am afraid you will probably be kidnapped before being blown up. Sorry about your bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coppercrutch Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 You won't be blown up. However you will be shot. Your bird will also get rogered from a Camel. Not good but you will survive. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustyboy Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Should we maybe organize a whip round at the next home match so we can raise funds to have some sort of commemorative banner, or possibly posters to advertise the dangers of Egypt?

coppercrutch Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 obviously security was beefed up after the shootings and from what ive been told is even more stringent,ie tourist police every 100 yards Still - I don't think having armed tourist Police every 100 yards indicates a safe place. Surely it indicates the opposite ? Anyway I have been to lots of dodgy countries. No point worrying about it. Try being a ginger Backpacker in El Salvador and walking about at night.
