Well it's all kicking off with the locals now
We had no local labour on the base today as the coaches that bring them in got shot up by some nutters no body injured luckily.
The main town closest a dozen policeman got killed some activists.

Was going to put a message on here to find out if it had effected you. Advice here is Red Sea resorts are still fine to travel to.
The news has given the impresion it's minor skirmishes in the capital.

It's a bit more than minor as for the resorts I wouldn't like to say but we've been advised it's a no go area.
If we need to leave base to carry out a job it's either an armed convoy by road or a trip in the blackhawk to the remote sites.

The wife was saying that a mum on the school run was considering CANCELLING their planned trip. A lad from work is already out there from today - seemingly a resort "somewhere near the border with Israel". Reckons the nutters WON'T want to affect the tourist trade!

I hope you stay safe Bacon and look after yourself, bloomin typical isnt it, you go to Egypt and all hell breaks loose!
just imagining now on the way to a job, putting on the green face paint, preparing your tools in the rucksack ready for the rendezvous with the sabotaged switchgear ( well perhaps a burnt out choc bloc with tape around it lol!) and you get taken in a blackhawk instead of a rusty old transit!

How we all doing then hope you enjoyed the good weather that you had.
All is well here apart from the daily bombs going off a couple of miles up the road and the gunfire that that starts at about 10.30 at night and lasts till about 3 in the morning then the apaches come and have a go.
Then you can't sleep because of the noise inconsiderate f $$$$ es.
