No brainier for me. I would rather not subject my family to any additional risks to the many that lie before them in day to day life. Why add more unnecessarily.

Drive them to School? You could walk.

People are so predictably irrational.

Edit: that sounds harsher than intended.

I assume you'd take them on holiday? Confirmation, recency and primacy biases ahoy

You are totally missing my point. Going to school, driving, holidays have all an associated risk that we accept. I would never knowingly increase that risk by visiting a place like Tunisia even if it has just gone through some horrific terrorist attack and is swarming with security services.

I'm pretty certain there's going to be an attack on a British city sometime soon.

Would that risk stop you travelling to London?

I was working in London around the time of the 7/7 attack, I knew that the tube system was a priority target for terrorism so I caught black cabs everywhere and still do when I'm there. In answer to your question - only if I needed to.

I was in London exactly a week after the 7/7 bombings. Never felt safer on the tube, near stations or walking down the street. Didn't think I was likely to be mugged or pickpocketed that day!

I think people are over-estimating the increased risk. It's like when the daily mail reports something increasing the number of cancer cases by 300% and it sounds like a scary number, when actually the number of cases had gone from infinitesimally small to slightly less infinitesimally small.

The reasons I wouldn't go to Tunisia are probably along the lines of what Matt and Ian said. It's probably not going to be the most enjoyable place to go and relax and forget the troubles of the world.

Great try.

This tackle is a thing of beauty as well:

A friend of mine was at the hotel next door by the pool when it happened.  Last I heard (yesterday) is that they were trying to get a flight back today.  I can understand why someone out there now would want to come home.  But if you're going out there in a week or so - is the risk higher?  If you think there might be subsequent attacks, then the risk would be higher than you previously thought was there. If you think it's unlikely, and that there'll be lots of armed security in place now, then it's probably a lot safer.  Also less likely to be hassled or pick-pocketed, etc.!

The question is, if you don't go to Tunisia, because of the risk then where do you choose to go?  There 'could' be a terrorist attack in Bali, Spain, Turkey, London or anywhere in the next few weeks.  But it's hard to make a rational decision at a time like this.  There was a big crash on the M40 the other day, does that mean I should avoid the M40 for the next few months?  The risk is the same now as it was last week, and the risk of being in a car crash is probably higher than being caught in a terrorist attack by a factor of hundreds or thousands.  Yet, we continue to drive our cars, cross the road, get out of bed in the morning.

looks like £21m rising to £28m. Originally £13.8m was touted. Sounds like Ayre paid the max as usual.

Shirt numbers 7 8 and 11 on offer

The smaller fee is what's going to the club. I believe he's also under third-party ownership.

Fantastic signing. Fits the mould of what Rodgers wants from his players and will add to the side.

You'll also find most of the programmes are broadcast in colour, and with stereo sound. Apologies for that.

I can turn both those features off. Clever hole.

Yeah, but think of the file size!
