Every place has it's issues.

It's nothing to lose your head over.

There are several beheadings a day in Tenerife. The tribal area of Pakistan is suppose to be nice this time of year.

That particular nutcase is now behind bars, as for the remainder.... you're just as likely to meet them here as there!

Nope, but there are loads of Chinese and African immigrants wandering the streets selling cheap tat to drunk people.

You're seriously worried that there may be a spate of machete wielding nutcases on the roam in Spain?
Don't you think if there were it might, ya know, also make the news headlines?
heh, headlines...

Oh definitely, and everyone is doomed to buy at least one piece of crap in the inevitable drunken state

We did..............

And the Toutes are a pain, but we had great fun with them after a few, very annoying when your just strolling or looking for somewhere to eat

Sweet Jesus.

OP, of course it's safe to go to Tenerife. Would you refuse to go to Germany based on the fact that a couple of million people were killed there? No? Then think on.

So if I had been your inference is that I would obviously agree with you that Lanzarote can't be a part of Spain because it's over-run with "moroccans/nigerians and colombians"; is that it?

Sorry to tell you this but no, I wouldn't. But then I'm not a racist.
I lived in Gothenburg Sweden for many years, a very multi-cultural city, didn't make it any less of a Swedish city.
In fact the large immigrant population there adds a lot to the quality of life there in many ways-different cultures, languages, lots of different types of restaraunts and bars etc, not to mention how their taxes help the economy.

I wish I was an octopus so I could do 8 simultaneous face palms after reading the opening post.

Mind you though, I don't go outdoors anymore after hearing about a lad getting hit by lightening...:rolleyes:

Spelling, grammar and punctuation are obviously other things you can't "give 2 fcuks" for judging by your semi-literate ramblings.

Then why are you trying to write on the internet instead of sleeping? that's rhetorical by the way, I couldn't care less why.

And in your book an intellectual is someone who can read and write properly?

That tells me enough to know I have no further reason to waste any more time replying to you.

To to be fair to the chap, that wasn't text-speak, it's just the level of spelling that a lot of people come out of the education system with (myself included many years ago).

Is Tenerife safe to go on holiday?
