There is a particularly nasty one called Shigalia (dont know if I have spelt that right or not)..a few years back when we had a dive trip to Sharm, quite a few people got Pharoahs..and one guy was ill for 4 weeks after he got back..he lost nearly 2 stone and had all these tests done and I think that was what he had had...

Pharoahs went round our dive boat last time..and it is not nice..I had it from about day 3 onwards until about 3 days after I got back.

Hi Val

Almost right Shigella is particularly nasty check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shigella for info

This can be got anywhere too, particularly places where personal hygiene is not up to our standards so think Egypt, Morocco, Middle Africa, certain Caribbean countries (Dominican Republic comes to mind).

I got 17 right. A couple were lucky guesses though. It's 24 years since I was last in Eygpt, I did a tour of the country which ended up in Sharm. From what I remember there were just 2-3 hotels in Naama Bay but nothing else, but will be visiting the country (though not Sharm)again in November doing two cruises one on the Nile and one on Lake Nasser with three days in Cairo.

I got 17 right too..but have to admit to a couple of complete guesses..

I dont really stay on the mainland any more since we discovered the joys of liveaboard diving...

I do think I might like to go back to Taba though, purely so I can do the trip to Jordan easily!

A group of tourists are watching the re-enactment of an ancient Egyptian religious ritual. One of them turned to a nearby local and pointed to the statue that was being praised and asked

''Pardon me, but what was the name of that god?"

"Why do you ask?" the man replied.

The tourist shrugged. "Oh, just idol curiosity'' :rofl

I don't know if there will be any members left who remember the lovely Sheba (Linda)?

I first 'met' Linda in this forum, then went on to meet her in real life a few times through a shared love of rock gigs.

It is with much sadness that I am posting to say Linda passed away a few days ago, a wonderfully vibrant, genuine, kind and funny person, gone far too soon.

RIP, Linda xxxx
