Cigar Ash Good, Volcanic Ash Bad!

Sounds like a job for the Royal Navy, Gordon. Send out the Ark Royal!!

I think I might have to. I've just heard he's probably not back to the 29th !!!!!

Imagine the state of those stogies after another 10 days in the Florida humidity with only a cedar box and a poly bag for protection.

Hi Cris, So no flying today or tomorrow, we are no hoping for a change in wind direction on Thurs. As for the ferry option, we are asking the Oil Compnaies to arrange boats for the longer term, as this could cause chaos for the rest of the summer. The Dutch & Danish have this organised but the British decieded transfering people to boats from oil rigs via crane & 'Frog' basket was 'unsafe,' except in life threatening emergencies. Think they'll have to re-visit that risk assessment as it will be too expensive not too. I am being paid a little extra for days over my trip, now I have lost my holiday, I guess it's time to appreaciate the extra cash. If I end up with a decent box of smokes paid for I guess it will sweeten the issue for me

Can any one smell

SULPHUR?????

Old school...

I see this is affecting supplies of various things into the UK. I read they thought this eruption might trigger the bigger volcano next to it?

As long as it doesn't trigger off Yellowstone's monster...

..or Las Palma's, which could lead to half the island collapsing into the sea and resulting in a 1,000 ft mega-tsunami hurtling across the Atlantic


see under "Volcano" here:

I read the same. Apparently the locals said that normally afew months after this volcano goes its sister does the same, problem is its sister volcano is 100 times bigger!!

I thought Eastenders was finishing, but it was her falling down the stairs

Latest update from BBC, Scottish air space open tomorrow, we are hoping to get off in the morning & I will hopefully be in Billingham for my course before the end of the first day & smoking a perfectly aged Cuban, washed down with a few jars by the evening. Must make sure the office has booked a room.

Good luck Simon

What's the difference between Cheryl Cole and Iceland?

Iceland is still blowing ash

I really feel for you Simon, Billingham is a god awful place full of smoggies, about 30 mile away from me and Keith.

I am repeating myself now every day: light up and fight ashes with ashes! (and don't think about the money)
