    Tenerife is like that as well. They filmed bits of Star Wars there. I visited the area around the mountain last year and it is indeed desolate.
    Pah! I went to the outback. It was so desolate, they filmed 'Walkabout' there

          I went to Milton Keynes. It was so desolate they filmed Superman IV there.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            It's still an active eruption, which has been going on for significantly longer than anywhere else in the world.

            And it's `a`a lava there.

              Maybe the it was the longest fissural eruption then.

                  Possibly. All I can really say is that it's an eruption, it comes from a volcano, and has been going for longer than the 6 year record you claim Lanzarote has.

                  I'd even question whether Hawai'i is the longest, since the mid-oceanic ridge in the Atlantic will have been continuously erupting for about 4600 billion years...

                    Yup - a mate of mine got a job in the Quality Control department of the Carlsberg brewery in Northampton. He thought all his Christmas's and Birthday's had come at once.

                    Turned out, he was looking at a conveyor belt for 10 hours a day looking for dents/blemishes on the tins. if they weren't perfect, they went into the carboard multipacks for supermarkets.

                    They had a good staff shop though.

                      Whichever one is advertised by Cantona has just lost their ASA case - they kept implying how French they were, without actually brewing in France or even using French hops. And since they are owned by a Dutch company anyway...
