And given that, personally, it's maybe just as well that I no longer travel through London when I go south!

i think you all know im not left of the field when it comes to politics but blaming muslims is wrong

its not muslims its terrorists under the guise of a religion

its like saying all catholics supported the IRA

but this is what these bastards want-a turf war a religious war, when in fact its got f*ck  all to do with religion but its a militia group trying to unsettle the world, cos its to do with oil & they know how much western politicians revere oil and lets face it, we need oil to survive

im not clever but thats how it seems to me

 Oh good grief Baz!  Thank goodness your grandson wasn't caught up in it - and hopefully the trip will be cancelled now?

Most of the current concern is specifically around Brussels, but still...

Brussels airport is going to be closed for days, and Eurostar services into Brussels are suspended. The Foreign Office is warning against travelling to Brussels...

As you probably know we go to Brussels several times a year, so I'm hoping that travel is back to normal soon. I've already paid for the tickets. Carry on, as they say.

Or for a more sober response...

I do like the frites one.

Thought you might, GJ.

I know what you mean about "carrying on", and I was reminded of the symbolism of the first Concorde flight into New York after 9/11.

I hope you're able to travel to Brussels safely ASAP.

I believe the third suspect is not arrested now.

Meanwhile I've nicked Eugene's chip for an avatar in the other place!

That article as it stands at this time is confusing. A suspect has been arrested but his identity has not yet been released.
