    Looking at the latest UKMO Ash advisory graphic - I am expecting London airports to close this evening!

    Met Office: Volcanic Ash Advisory Centres

    I have a flight booked to Denver on Friday (2 weeks stormchasing) which should be OK as from Thursday, prevailing winds will blow the Ash East over to the North Sea.

      He could have a quick look through the statute books and get rid of some of the cruft.
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            My son's supposed to be flying home from Afghanistan this week. There will be massive psychological repercussions if he doesn't get his beer on Friday evening. He's mentioned it pretty much every day for the last three months.

              Panic over, it's not a volcanic ash cloud it's just Man City opening their trophy cabinet for the first time in 35 years...

                  He could try to fix the economy.

                  Oh. Hang on a minute.

                  Or he could go to Ireland and try to track down his ancestors, 'cos that's what US Presidents tend to do.

                  Oh. Hang on another minute.

                    News reports today suggesting the existing ash cloud will blow back across the whole of the UK on Friday.
