Just a few discussion points points

#1 How the fook did we get about before universal air travel
#2 Isn't it amazing now that is dragging on the airlines are bleating that we don't need to do it anyway. Isn't it strange how they start talking about "risk assessment" when its costing money.
(Incidentally How would we feel if they got their way and then a jet fell out of the sky over some city due to an unforeseen "risk" on their assessment)
#3 Are we reaping what we sowed when we pushed our money into air travel rather than other means?

Walked out my house today and was hit by a frozen turkey, a black forest gateau and some peas....... Guess its the fall out from Iceland

I live about 5 miles from East Midlands Airport and yesterday morning my car was covered in a thick dust, might be unrelated but worrying nevertheless.

in a PoK stylee.. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSLDE6 ... StocksNews

Hot off the press ..sort of puts in perspective.. wonder if it'll shut the airlines up?

Sounds like you were 'hampered'

I bet Bjornson's getting a bit of stick from the rest of the players over this.

Will the price of Cod and chips go up ? ..

Not sure.............but carveries are buy one, get one free.

Why?

WHAT THE FUCK??

Probably just the soot blowers at Ratcliffe - complain to EOn and you might get a free car wash

Seeing as he's from Iceland, I thought there might have been a bit of supposedly friendly banter about it.

Cutting cocaine wraps on the car bonnet?

The Met Office have observed that the eruption's now strengthened and a new ash cloud has been spotted moving in a south-easterly direction...towards the United Kingdom.

And the authorities had intended to re-open some airports over here as well.

This is getting worse before it gets better.

Because hes tall

could Bjornsson have his own Icelandic volcano tucked away in his underpants?

I just want to come home.

Where are you stuck at Mr Poolier? Anywhere nice or a complete shit-tip like a foreign version of Diddlesbrough?

montpoolier..........???recognise the name.......!

Well it might look attractive from Hartlepool but we are stuck in New York! They have said Thursday night is a possibility but as this thing churns out more ash that is becoming less and less likely I think. Surprisingly ( I dont think ) the insurance doesn't cover natural disasters so its all down to us to find a hotel etc. and fend for ourselves until American Airlines and the aviation authority say its safe to fly. Oh bugger!!

Sandy

seems as you have access to the internet have you tried looking on the government website there seems to be a lot of info on there
www.direct.gov.uk

I would love to be stuck in new york, but thats becasue my uncle lives there, at least your in a brilliant city imagine being stuck somewhere like Norway were the beer is very expensive

In the south of bastad France.

I'm heartbroken for you!!

Apparently flights are getting back to normal now, fingers crossed for you!

Yes its strange that all of sudden with 26 flights flying around over London they found this "new" evidence that it is safe to fly in these clouds (or to put it another way they caved into big business). BA the "Bully of the Air" . They'll be a cold day in Hell before I chose to fly with those bastads..

Finally ..fingers Crossed.. I hope Mother Nature still doesn't have the last say in this..

Wonder if there'll be any news about the people of Iceland ? ..

Kerry Katona is fine. She is jacking up as we speak.

There's nothing more powerful on this planet than Mother Nature.
There is always the possibility that she will have the last say.
However if a plane does go down you can bet your bottom dollar that the people who are "advising" the civil aviation authorities will move hell and high water to prove it had nothing to do with the volcano.
That's the way I'm afraid.

What is even worse is that some politicians are now calling for an enquiry into the matter. These same politicians are spouting about waste and the need to stop frittering money away and yet want to spend millions of taxpayers money on an enquiry. You couldn't make it up.
Anyone would think there was an election looming.
