Anyone planning to go to the likes of Turkey, Tunisia or Egypt this year? all popular destination with UK package holiday makers.

Mrs has been trying to book our jols, shes sending me deals to these places amongst others, ive told her to forget it!

ISIS will blow these places up soon, or at least start lobbing a few heads off!? thats my concern anyway.

Sadly General, I suspect you're right. Think I'd be stopping in Europe, but avoiding southern Italy!

I've told the girl to forget non-Europe too!

We're in Skiathos in four weeks. That's northern Aegean so not expecting any related problems. Daughter is off to Crete though at this very moment, and to Loutro on the south coast, just across the Libyan sea. As an aside, she just texted me to inform that she cleared check-in and security inside 20 minutes at Manc airport! A far cry from last year when we ended up legging it away from security as we heard a 'last call' on our flight having arrived 15 minutes before our check-in actually opened.

This year I'll be mostly golfing in Marbella. Buddy Boy and I are are also discussing a French canal boat tour to include several vineyards. ISIS can go feck themselves!

it's a long time since I've been. Got to introduce Mrs AT to Greece, though the Maldives wins each holiday for us whilst it's nearer

i thought i may have been lambasted for my ignorant views so its a relief to see its not just me.

in the end she went for cyprus. which although is Greece it is terrifyingly close to Syria on the map - looks like they could swim over! but ive been rest assured its under no more a threat than anywhere else in the region... eek

We went on holiday to Jordan and Syria in the late 90s and spent a couple of wonderful nights in Palmyra. Can't imagine we'll ever get back there

Do you still think she listens to you?

You say that Bruce, but an armed militia was discovered in a sleepy (tiny) village up the road from us just a couple of years ago. Beware the French countryside!

Nearly Mrs Bob has booked a week away for my birthday in ten weeks time. She won't tell me where but has let slip that we're flying. I'm like a 4 year old on Christmas Eve.

Blackpool airport to the Isle of Man. Pack your flippers.

I'll be pished off if it is Bobo, she's missed the bloody TT!

I think Blackpool Airport has closed for commercial flights so I think you are fine.

Maybe she has paid for you to have a go in one of those flying suits from the top of a mountain?

Blackpool is apparently back open for Isle of Man and Dublin flights. Fingers crossed Jet2 come back, it made life soooo much easier. I hate Manchester airport.

Me too these days, but (as previously mentioned) daughter says she recently got through check-in and security in 20 minutes so maybe it has improved recently. I'll be there in three weeks but Cosmos is really messing us around! They have cancelled our original flights and placed us with some no mark Polish outfit who have no UK base and as far as I can ascertain do not fly to our destination! Plus we have a stop in mainland Greece on the return. A right Magical Mystery Tour coming up!

I did Liverpool to Jersey last weekend, no problem at all either way. Definitely bears going through Manc.
