    Of course it can't. But in the circumstances, any sensible person will surely accept the telephone as an alternative, or just wait until monday.

    Yes it will. But not quite yet. You might make it until retirement.

    How sad. Besides the fact that the world's techies have provided the wonder of telephony to resolve exactly this problem, what makes someone think he's so fooking important that when a big cloud of volcanic ash flies across Europe everyone should move heaven and earth to get him to London? What kind of a **** are you if you just can't accept that you might have to wait until monday?
