    Iceland is at it again!

    First they lose all our money, now they close all our airports with a giant ashcloud!




    Small piston aircraft should be unaffected, if you have urgent travel plans then look me up

    Terrorists!

    First they steal our money, now they use their own volcanic dust clouds against us! El Gordo was right to use terrorist legislation against them.

    Actually I was there a fortnight ago, saw the small volcanic eruption from the plane, looked quite cool

    Re: Iceland is at it again!

    There was me thinking they were giving us a small amount of their island in return for the money! I don't know if things are just better reported, however it really feels like the "Earth is angry" at the moment, seems to have been rather a large number of Earthquakes etc in the last few month.

    Hjordis Gudmondsdottir, a spokesperson for Isavia, Iceland's air traffic authority, said: "The ash is going out to the ocean and to Europe so our airports aren't really affected. It's almost funny, except it isn't, obviously"

    At least they have a sense of humour!

    Re: Iceland is at it again!

    There are just more of us so things like this get noticed more and thus they impact on us and our daily lives more when they do...

    The Mayans sacrificed children, didn't predict their own demise and so whilst they were skilled astronomers I would take any predictions with a pinch of salt. Mind you, I don't think they said it was the end, just their calendar reset to zero and there weren't any around to renew it.
