My dads first cousin died this week and nobody from abroad is getting to that funeral.
They forgot: knarrs. :(

Visibility has improved greatly around the volcano. The link below links to a webcam monitoring the eruption. Absolutely stunning footage.

I don't get into ships and boats that are smaller than the expected waves.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

This is now causing considerable international confusion.

The Portuguese president is now stranded in Prague. In exchange we got the German chancellor, whose flight got rerouted to Lisbon.

Are there any other leaders lost somewhere at the moment?

I'd say you came out ahead then.  Don't you people have trains or cars or ships?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

 :hmm:

I think the scorching hot summer predicted for Britain just went bye-bye...

And I believe Scottish and Northern Irish airports are reopening.

They're saying that it's going to be hot and dry here this summer, too.

Fine by me: more time on the boat, and better fishin'.

God didn't forget Poland.

Which reminds me, how come they don't kill frogs in Poland?

The rock samples that have been analysed so far show that the ejecta is icelandite. Which is bad because it's easily rendered into this fine ash. Even without the glacial melt quenching the lava and then the steam buildup pulverising it. So the world could be cut off from Britain for quite a while.

There's currently very heavy ashfall in the countryside surrounding the volcano. More people are being evacuated.  :(

Hungary's airspace is closed since 7PM

So I wonder what if this will last for 2 years like that big Icelandic eruption in the 19th century?

It might.


The effects if that happens would be pretty damn extensive.

When Laki errupted in 1783? The Mississippi froze as far down as New Orleans the following winter.

It's really sunny here in the UK. No ash clouds that I can see. :hmm:
