Last plane I was on definitely didn't have openable windaes

Meh. Just wait until the supervolcano under Yellowstone goes pop.

Yeah and it won't just be one or two when they do start popping.

I liked Girl From Mars and a few other ditties

I once saw a girl give her guy a w@nk during Vision Thing. The Forum, London IIRC

If it was any of you - SHAME!

Blimey.

Blimey you've been caught or Blimey surprised

Perhaps they were expressing an opinion

sorry. well loads of airports are shut. hope no-one is needing to travel in the next few days... we're closed, parts of germany, ireland i think and it's because aircrafts aren't built to handle it! i'm sure it's not healthy to inhale either though.

I wouldn't worry about inhaling it, the ash is at the sorts of altitudes planes fly at, several km up. Here's a bbc article about the damage the ash can do to a jet engine. Nasty!

What I really want to know is...Is there any point in washing my car this weekend ?

Thanks Mark, but what goes up must come down somehow. And if it can damage planes like that what could it do if we had to?

@ Pat ~ depends if you are lazy or not and how dirty the car actually is.

Saw this thread title and thought that Tones on Tail had a new album out.

Yeah, I got caught with a cancelled flight this morn. It was a bit weird, nobody seemed to have a clue what was going on. No point in being annoyed though, you can't really argue with a volcano can you?

It was a bit surprising that Ryanair cancelled though, I would have expected their attitude would be more on the lines of "take their money, put them in the air, and sure the pilot can fly around the falling magma".

Ash and pollen! Bloody hell!

Put about 12 pints of cider in me and I'll give it a try!

On the bright side-- the U.K. and Europe may have some really spectacular sunsets for a while.

No you can't argue with a volcano unless you can handle the steam! Shame though, all flights were cancelled at Schiphol but we are decent enough to put beds out for those passengers that couldn't find a hotel or motel in the area. Haha, no Ryanair or any airline don't want the planes dropping out the sky thank god, and one pilot was saying they don't risk flying over or under or anything! I seriously hope someone goes back to the design board to build better planes that can handle the heat and gases coming from them! She was only smoking though, no eruption so no lovely lava that is good for nature, pity. Oh and there are huge clouds hanging over us today! I seriously hope it doesn't rain.
