The hubby and I have always wanted to go to Egypt, so a couple of years ago, we decided to do it. We talked with our travel service, bought a Fodor's, and started to get excited. Then some Egyptian dorks murdered a whole bus of German tourists. My hubby looks German. We cancelled our plans and haven't really considered it since.
Of course, being American is probably even worse then being German nowadays, especially when it comes to international travel. |

My mother is actually in Egypt right at this very moment, which amazed all her colleagues as they expected her not to go this year [she goes every summer – lucky for some, ay?] I do worry a little, but then she has been there a lot, and certainly the couple of times I was there, the Tourist and Antiquities Police were very on the ball. In general the people there are so friendly and open and so welcoming to visitors, and it is such a shame that these incidents and political climes are stopping people going.

It’s a fruit-flavoured soft drink made in Scotland. Not quite sure which fruit. But it is orange coloured.

Hard to say actually. It is ‘fruity’, but nothing really more specific than that. Sometimes I can taste orange and sometimes pear, but other than that I don’t know. I only drink the diet version though as the ordinary stuff is far too sweet. But then I can’t drink ordinary Coke or Pepsi either.

Made in Scotland from Girders!!
It has ginger in it and is orange. Thats all we know! Very sweet and a great hangover cure!
Then we have tablet, scones, clootie dumplings, neeps and tatties, whiskey, buckfast and Gerry Butler...

It tastes like vomit. Seriously, it tastes like (if you're squeemish, do not read) someone else has vomited, mixed in some rotting fruit, squirted in some orange dye, gave it a shake (or stir, if you prefer), poured it in a can and stuck it on a shelf in a shop. It WAS my thought that it was the most disgusting drink ever invented, however, I was informed that there is DIET Iron Bru. It is a sad day when they make diet ice cream, since it is the ruin of a wonderful thing. But making diet vomit?  I don't understand Scots...
My apoligies to all you Scots who have been raised on this drink of hell and have developed a taste for ...  |

Actually - it tastes like Dentist mouthwash!
Buckfast tastes like vomit!
And you live in Aberdeen. You have sheeps to be molesting!  Not Ba Bru to be drinking!
