Has anyone asked for Sir Terry's opinion about Egypt?

[MB]

Considering what Nightwatch is all about, I'd have thought some form of journo would have asked for his opinion about the what's going on in Egypt at the moment?

Welcome to the site, MB!

I'm not aware of Terry's opinion on this matter, although maybe Egypt needs a Guild of Assassins.

Hi MB. We have the same initials.

He also wrote Pyramids! They're pretty Egyptian too. And in Jingo Colon wore a fez - that's Egyptian.

Pyramids?

Not heard about that one. Is it good?

Actually, the Fez is Turkish but named after the city of Fes (or Fez) in Morocco.

Everything. He knows bluddy everything.

Um...I actually knew that because I lived in Izmir for a year.

I spent 10 days in Olu Deniz, if that counts?

I once dated a man who put on a fez and danced naked around the lounge room... does that count???

ON HIS HEAD! ON HIS HEAD!

Right, and since when does "poohcarrot" start with an M?

Getting back to the original poster's question - I must say that Night Watch has been on my mind during this whole thing. The idea that the military who may have been called to attack the protesters would have been attacking family members and friends seemed somewhat most likely than other, similar situations.

to tell the truth, I'd rather feel that the general level of this thread would serve as an indication of why he hasn't and shouldn't be asked.

I've always had the impression that TP was a shrewd observer with experience of the press and that he was focussed on various issues he is directly concerned in.

I'd tend to expect that a request for a views on the Egyptian situation were met with a polite but firm reply that it was an area he couldn't reasonably be expected to comment on.
