This whole event is a timely reminder that we humans, for all our clever modern inventions, still count for nothing when measured against the forces of nature. Some scientists are warning that this could go on for months. If it does then a lot of airlines are going to go bust - and before then we'll see pressure from them for the air traffic controllers and other authorities to "stop over-reacting" and let the aircraft fly.

Personally, however it pans out, I'm not flying anywhere until I know that a good few dozen aircraft have already flown on my particular route without incident. Modern airliners can glide without engine power - a bit like a brick - but they've no choice but to glide into a hillside or jungle or wherever, at something like 200 mph. This is an advanced form of Russian Roulette.

Some of the profiteering at the expense of those stranded has been disgraceful and has shown the worst side of human nature/greed.

And a final thought: if the entire population of Iceland and of the whole of Europe could somehow be assembled to pee simultaneously into the crater, all it would do is to create a noxious cloud of steam! It certainly wouldn't have the slightest effect on the volcano.

Tony.




Never surrender.

Force the ash cloud to watch Lopez Tonight or Adam Sandler's films on the tele. It will move on faster than you can say "Aaaahh my ears are bleeding!"

Apparently if Justin Bieber is sacrificed all will be okay again.



Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future
that year by year recedes before us.
It eluded us then, but that's no matter - tomorrow we
will run faster, stretch out our arms further...

And one fine morning -
So we beat on, boats against the current,
borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell

dust mites don't eat dust, they just live in it.

Took me a second to figure out it's a joke. Palin is such a retard that I would fully expect her to say stuff like this.
