Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust, If Unserviced Loans Won't Get You, Our Volcanoes Must!

Here's an image you won't see everyday. Taken minutes ago, not a single passenger aircraft over British skies! [Link to live European aircraft movement]. Of the things that could've grounded every British airport, a volcano in Iceland was definitely creative. They've really got it in for us. First they go bankrupt, then they refuse to pay back our loans and now this! The ungrateful wretches. Some historians even believe that an Icelandic eruption in 1787 led to the French Revolution! They don't stop at anything. Not even for 9/11 did all of British airspace shut down. But the last word goes to the chap who wrote into Aunty B and quite correctly pointed out that the eruptions from the Eyjafjallajökull volcano have been going on for a few weeks now, with negligible UK media coverage. The images from Iceland are nothing short of spectacular, "but get in the way of a £50 'getaway flight' to Europe and suddenly it's bigger news than the election." 'Nuff said!

That's good to know... let's hope that other volcano doesn't set off till at least after 14 May! :P And good point about UKIP. I suppose if the other volcano does erupt, they might just seize the moment. Another good reason why it shouldn't!
