Terrorism, usually not.

More chance of having your goolies fried by lightning I'd say, than getting blown up. Just don't walk around with a USA t-shirt on shouting "Down With Islam" :o

Thanks for that Keith, the lightening thing sounds painful :P may prefer the blown up part instead. So I have to throw away my best T-shirt then !!

This is my first trip so will be an eyeopener for me, thanks to you old vets on this site at least I am a little prepared.

Thanks for that Pete, I'm not meeting anyone, I'm just going to have a look around and do some sports coaching.

I will try and give you a call, maybe we can have a pint together.

What do you think of the government warning regarding the immanent terrorist attack ?

I'm leaving for Heathrow in a couple of hours..... nervously !!

I wouldnt worry about it Gerry, just be alert, these things happen all the time, what can they do but warn us about these things, if these people strike they will strike what can we do about it, not much I am afraid, if you catch this have a good trip, see you at the other side, I will probably on my mobile from Tuesday onwards Gerry, 1st few days, I rarely get out of the room, mate if you know what I mean.

Best of luck Pete

A guy I know used to work in a mortuary, and one of the corpses there had a big grin on his face. He asked why the guy was grinning, and apparently he was struck by lightening, but he thought he was having his picture taken.
