    Another thing I have been thinking about ( you do a lot of thinking when you commute for 4 hours a day ) was the reports about how the climate changed in North America after 9/11 when the planes were stood down for a couple of days.

    Now obviously the dust could have an impact itself but I wonder if what they reported has been repeated.

        Whilst in HK fill your case with cheap micro SD cards.

        I've worked out you can make an easy million with one trip if customs don't catch you, you'll have make a lot of sales on eBay though which will also arouse suspicion... and it could take a long time... there must be a way.

          Yes, exactly. Some of the birds at BA went on strike and there were no drinks served during the flight.

              OMG they've interviewed a chav family for the TV news about being stranded in Denmark.

              Jeez, just sooooo embarrassed for the mother: she couldn't string a coherent sentence together. And the whole family were all so fat.

              I'm definitely going to get teased about this at work on Monday.

                As air passengers were grounded for the second day in a row and Scotland was covered with a fine coating of instantly lethal dust, experts said that volcanoes were here to stay and would now have to be factored into all our daily decision making processes.

                Dr Tom Logan, of the Institute for Studies, said: "Since seven o'clock this morning, Britain is now, essentially, a volcano based society.

                      Must be back up and flying by Friday surely? I have my first visit to the UK in six months this weekend.

                      Would go by car but the thought of driving through Belgium puts me off.
