Especially the Popular Estates eh?! 

South Hams could then follow!  The last time I saw them all, after visiting those estates far too many times over many years, they were 1960s planning disasters! ::) ::) ::)

 :y :y :y :y :ySo it was, Poplar 1, 2, 3 & 4, along with South Ham - you see I have tried to forget the nightmare for so long I had even tried to forget their names! ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D

"Basingrad" certainly is very descriptive 8-) 8-) 8-) :D ;)

Then there's Buckskin, Winklebury, Eastrop. The 'private' estates like Chineham, Hatch Warren, Beggarwood, Kempshot, Rooksdown & Brighton Hill are equally depressing. How did Pete Seeger put it? - Little boxes on the hillside....

I suspect, so long as Rupert Murdoch's little life support system is bolted the to side of said boxes, and functional, nobody notices what's going on outside.. Until they take to the roads in their chavved Nova / Mundaneo with a duck-taped bumper, of course. ::)

Mubarak has to leave and leave quickly, someone trusted comes in to hold the country together for a few weeks until an election can be called, then Egypt can vote for who they like - as the worlds most advanced and ancient civilisation, i trust they'll make a wise decision  :y

I note that the pro-Mubarak and anti-government protesters are having a major bundle.

Does your first comment still stand, BJ?  ;)

absolutely, the sooner he leaves and Egypt can install democracy the better, rent-a-mobs and plain clothes police causing trouble just show how increasingly ruthlesss and desperate Mubarak is to maintain his power.  :(

Ha!  ha!

So your first comment that it's "their country, their choice" only holds true for you if Mubarak leaves.

On the one hand you say that a country should be free to decide it's own fate, yet, on the other, you feel the need to tell them what to do.

Just sayin'.  ;) ::) ::) ::)

most people in Egypt want Mubarak to leave - I don't see the point you're making  :-?
