Right so today Dp is off to Ankara, Turkey for last minute work thing... now this phone call .. who else has DP (aside from Forces obv) in poss danger zone???.

[Piffle]

I told him it was a security hellhole with bombs disarmed left right and centre...
He had to go for work until next Thursday though....

He had to sign extra insurance forms as high risk destination (also it is relatively new job)

today I get a phone call from specialist firm ????

Oh bother.....

I was sort of bothered already but though ahh he'll be fine
That call, really made me stop

Well my parents live in Turkey and they haven't mentioned any problems.

what kind of thing is he doing there?

its not near to border of iraq, where things are kicking off with ppk now

bombs can go off anywhere these days
dont panic..

what is wrong with ankara?
I've spent lots of time there on business. Dull place with an OK Sheraton, from memory.
Don't think I ever thought twice about going

my dh in turkey atm. no more likely to be in danger than in London unless he wanders around the iraq borders or into an army base with a suspicious looking package

political unrest in general in turkey thats all mintydixcharrington

there were bombs in recent memory near british bank istanbul iirc
kurdish iraq is not to their liking fighting ppk
ankara as capital would be target
like london has been

more dangerous in london I reckon
wouldn't get my knickers in a twist over it, piff!

We live in Nigeria, which some people would class as dodgy. But then London on 7/7/05 wasn't a very good place to be either.

it is his specific industry I feel....

"we live in Nigeria, which some people might class as dodgy"

hahahahahahahahahaha
Suedonim you are hilarious

hope everything is OK for him piff
