More silliness.  :lol:



QuoteThe map above shows the present distribution of volcanic ash. As you can see, it looks surprising like a shoe, with Britain firmly being stamped on by the ball of the foot.

I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

No wonder I woke up so refreshed today. There were no 747s flying directly over my house on the Heathrow approach at 5.30AM.
" SIR – I must commend you on some of your recent obituaries. I was delighted to read of the deaths of Foday Sankoh (August 9th), and Uday and Qusay Hussein (July 26th). Do you take requests? "

According to the local weather forecast and the fact that the volcano continues to belch out a metric fuckton of ash, the same situation could well prevail tomorrow as well.

Heh, the last Eyjafjalla glacier eruption in 1821 lasted almost 2 years. But the volcano itself will probably only occaisonally send up plumes of ash once it settles down. At least I think it should settle down fairly quickly.
A paranoid thought based hereupon...
What if this eruption continues for ages?
The UK is screwed...Cut off from air travel the economy would tank.
And I won't be able to get home in June. Which is bad.

I foresee the glorious return of the huge luxury passenger ships.

The eruption is still intensifying. I'd be rather surprised if anything flies in Northern Europe for the next couple of days.



Some footage from today of the ash plume.

One does not simply walk into Eyafjallajökul.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

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.

Is there a scientific explanation for this plume or are they still guessing? Did Loki have Indian?
