Very strange comment. Is your sister some sort of political figure or in the police force that makes her some sort of target?cafcfan said:I'm visiting my sister in Northern Ireland for Xmas. She has a mirror on a stick she uses every time she uses her car to check for devices strapped underneath.
Frankly I'd rather be in France.
I understand this sort of thing went on back in the troubles but checking under your car for a bomb is unheard of in this day and age for most ordinary people living in Northern Ireland.0 -

The stick spends most of its life in the downstairs loo. It is useful too for making sure there's no toilet paper left stuck to your bum.
I was much amused the other week when she told me she'd had her letter box stolen. Who, for God's sake, nicks a letter box?4 -

What is there not to like. IMO Paris is one of the greatest cities in the world. You could visit it every weekend for a year and still have plenty left to see and do.LargeAddick said:I'd go today if I had a trip planned but that would be unlikely as I don't like Paris much. All we can do is carry on as normal, if not they have won.

I went out last Saturday for a night out in London. It seemed that myself and thousands of other Londoners got on with life. This includes Joseph Valentio who I bumped into at Leicester Square (I asked him who won The Apprentice so I could put money on the result but he wouldn't tell me).
So forget the muslim nutjobs, just enjoy a few beers at the Christmas market.1 -
On a similar theme I'm running a day trip to Bruges in Dec for our sports and social club at work. In light of recent events people are beginning to panic and try to pull out. I sent a email out to all 106 going yesterday along the lines of it's still going ahead unless we get govt advice to the contrary, no reason to panic etc etc.
Then this morning I see this, which although I appreciate is Brussels, is still not going to exactly reassure people.

You shouldn't worry about Bruges or any other town near the coast. It's a small part of Antwerp, and a large part of Brussels that are concerned. Hardly any people of maghreb descent are living in Bruges, Ostend, Ypres. The main problem was the former mayor of Brussels (3 yrs ago) who converted to islam, married a maroccan woman and responded to every incident in Brussels as a racist matter. Now, even some of his own party members admit he did this to gain popularity amongst the many maroccan immigrants (so to stay in power). This is not the case in other Belgian towns. The (new) mayor of Antwerp is a hardliner with a totally other approach and zero tolerance on anything jihad or extremism related.The Organiser said:On a similar theme I'm running a day trip to Bruges in Dec for our sports and social club at work.

Was going to travel on E40 to skirt Brussels then onto Metz and Strasbourg but decided Brussels was a bad idea.The_President said:An hour south of Strasbourg is Colmar - very nice if you can get there.
Changed my route to South of Brussels and currently overnight in Arlon in Belgium close to border with Luxembourg.
Lots of security on the France Belgium border.
Will try Colmar if we have time. Thanks President.0
