Icelandic volcano stops flights in Europe

[killer]

@kiwipad: Good photo of a dormant vocano. We'd love one of an active volcano.

@everyone: UK airports opened at 22:00 this evening. Our local airport closes at 23:00 so not much movement there. It may close tomorrow before it opens ... if you catch my drift.

Meanwhile a brand new cruise ship has been sent to Bilbao (northern Spain) to bring back stranded travellers to Southampton ... in luxury: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hamp ... 631528.stm

Lucky bar stewards.

Geologically (vulcanologically) it's definitely active (whether you use the "holocene" or "historical" timeframe, eruption within c 12000 years or 500-1000 years).

I'll listen out for the next bang & dash up there with the camera

At least our volcanoes have names you can pronounce ! Now "the icelandic one" (see can't even spell it !!!) has stopped being a celebrity I guess we should get back to Thinpads...or work...
