As much as I hate the city, but that's one of the many comforts and luxuries - get beer&wine delivered. Shall I send you some by donkey cart to the village?

You should check, they opened many new stores recently where I hadn't seen them before, like outside of Alex in villages which surprised me.

A Drinkie's here? Hahhahahahahaha!

Ah, no.

They'll get a McDonald's first.

LMAO thats a funny sign!

20:15 "The president, the presidential office and the group [the Muslim Brotherhood] are fully responsible for the violence before the Ittihadia [palace]. The Brotherhood's way to manage crises: Violence, fascism and failure," political analyst and former MP Amr Hamzawy says on Twitter.

"The legitimacy of the president is not at stake, it's falling now."

20:10 Founding member of the liberal El-Adl Party and former MP Mostafa El-Naggar on his official Twitter account called for the Muslim Brotherhood and the president to “revise their political calculations before its too late,” describing the presidential institution as “shameful.”

“To the president, the presidency and presidential aides, after your shameful performance we do not trust you and we do not trust your management of the country,” he said.

“We carried our coffins facing the old regime and its oppression and we fear nothing but God, and we will not succumb.”

Two groups -- one facing the camera, and the other group facing away from the the camera -- are throwing rocks back and forth at each other.

Helmet guy is the more athletic and effective rock thrower.

20:40 Bedaya news website claims that its reporter, Osama El-Shazly, has been wounded by birdshot pellets shot by the Morsi supporters’ side.

20:35 Ikhwanweb, the Muslim Brotherhood’s official English website and Twitter account, states:

“Mubarak regime loyalists and remnants are arming thugs to attack protesters, spread violence and chaos, Egyptian people won't allow this to happen.”

20:30 The Ministry of Health says there have been no reports of deaths so far as a result of the ongoing clashes at the presidential palace in Cairo, according to the state-run news agency MENA. The ministry also announced that the injury toll has reached 13, in addition to five more who were hurt in other confrontations in downtown Cairo’s Tahrir Square.

20:20 The Freedom and Justice Party’s official website claims a Muslim Brotherhood member, Mohamed Assem, has just been killed by live ammunition.

What to believe? Oh the game and drama of Divide&Conquer is a tricky one isn't it?

Ooooooooooh, no. I made the mistake of calling for delivery once.

Once.

The breathing-pervert-stalker calls taught me to never do that again.

Tear gas or smoke grenade.

Let me ask a few of you a question:

Would you ever fight against your government with sticks and stones and gas bombs?

If yes, how long do you think you could personally keep tossing rocks and gas bombs?

If no, would you try to make a change politically, knowing that the government was fraudulent in its heart as a whole.

I'll reply to serious answers.

Fine. Safely tucked away in my apartment, watching it from a distance.

Aaaarghh....from Drinkies? Seriously? I know I heard of other places women complained, friend of my wife once had a breather on her phone for weeks...got rid of him for her. Have your husband do it for you or answer the door, that stops them.

So now seems to calm down...no deaths according to news, just injuries. I never trust Twitter anyways...or state news

20:50 The famous sheikh of Omar Makram Mosque in Tahrir Square, who was dubbed the “Tahrir Preacher”, tells Al-Ahram Arabic news website that the current crisis is heading towards a “civil war.”

“Shame on all of us for contributing to the collapse of the homeland,” he commented.

Shaheen also claimed that all factions of the political elite are responsible for the current crisis, and urged dialogue between them.

No, from a Metro supermarket.

I just don't get myself into the situation. Once was enough.



I don't trust Egypt's news in English. Ever.

bwahahahahaha

good...stay inside

20:55 Ahram Online reporter Ahmed Feteha describes the scene at the presidential palace:

"Hundreds of Brotherhood supporters are standing right before the palace, and there are two rows of Central Security Forces in front of them.”

"The anti-Morsi protesters, also in the hundreds, are facing the opposite direction. No violence currently as both sides keep chanting. 'The people endorse the president's decision,' is repeated by the Brotherhood's supporters, while protesters on the other side chant 'The people want the fall of the regime,' among other slogans.

Clashes in the surrounding areas have been back and forth.

They need to answer the call to dialogue from the VP earlier. Giving a Press Conference acting like the future Presidents of Egypt is not helping the situation. They all need to put up or shut up. I hold them ALL accountable for any more violence or injuries or deaths. That's not the way to handle a political disagreement to let your 2 factions clash with each other. Glad to see most ppl left because they're not interested in escalations.

More like TPTB orchestrated this little uprising in order to divert the attention away from the oppressive Zionists so that they may continue destroying more of Gods children without the eyes of the world upon them.

Actually, you know what you do now? You file a police report, if you have the number that's calling you, otherwise do it in name of business. They will trace the call and then arrest him. Seriously! And actually, I hope you do it to teach them a lesson. I threatened the guy who kept calling my wife friend(was maybe 4 years ago) that I know where he lives because we traced him and we will come with the police now. NEVER called back. But there's a law for verbal harassment...he'll go to jail for a few months and pay a fine.

woman on al jazeera says a lot of gunfire heard, don't know if true but she sounds serious frightend, she's trapped in a building

Oh, this was years ago, so it's too late now. I just guard my number carefully so it doesn't happen again.

Most likely CSF, tear gassing ppl in the side streets or shooting blanks up to disperse crowds. I just watched the same report....same stories like during Jan25...don't get dragged into the hypersensationalization of Ajizza

I can confirm this. She mentioned bullets a lot of times. And said police is shooting at them for the last couple of days.

21:08 The Ministry of Health says the injury toll has risen to 63, with no deaths reported so far.

21:05 Al-Ahram Arabic news website reports that three men were detained and handed over to security authorities in Zagazig city in the Sharqiya governorate for setting fire to the local Muslim Brotherhood headquarters, as well as two cars parked outside the building.
