Volcanic Ash

[Mich the Tester]

This is actually really worrying, all our dinosaurs might become extinct.

Bring it on. It might remind people how pathetic and boring our little recessions and elections really are in terms of the earth and the cosmos.

Sound thinking! If a huge comet hit the Earth and wiped out China this afternoon we might get something other than the stupid debate on the news tonight.

[Sysman]

Bump.

Oh Dear again - there was an announcement just a moment ago on the BBC about closures.

Here's the website you need to keep an eye on.

I'd best bring the washing in then.

We will all be atoms of space dust one day however, until then our atoms will be used several times over by other human beings, animals and plants.

But its a lovely drying day

Depends where you need to get to in the UK, but you could get a train to Paris (Gare du Nord) then Eurostar. The ferry is probably your best bet.

Eurostar fully booked - managed to get something called a fold-down seat though.

Thalys fully booked - so will be attempting the slow train to Brussels.

How the flip am I going to get home from NL tonight ?

Can't you just get the cross-channel ferry? (*) I mean Holland isn't exactly Terra del Fuego.

(*) or Amsterdam to Harwich (?)

[Pondlife]

On the waiting list for tomorrow lunchtime's flight.
