Eastcowzer Posted 21 July, 2010 Share Posted 21 July, 2010 We possibly get ash cloud for a year, few flights, reduced sunlight. More nonsense. Football fixtures cancelled. Loads of foreign mercenaries, oops, sorry, players, deported to their own countries, (maybe). Sky reduced to showing re-runs of World Cup matches , with vuvuzelas, - plus inept commentators describing the 'bleeding obvious', and of course, even more bloody adverts, - for ash-bins, - with explicit instructions on what to do with them when they're full How exciting. Need to reverse all the wind-farm 'windmills' to blow the ash away, into somebody else's 'back yard' Hugh F. N. Rae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 21 July, 2010 Share Posted 21 July, 2010 Bugger. Looks like booking flights in late September was a bad move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100%Red&White Posted 21 July, 2010 Share Posted 21 July, 2010 I knew there was a good reason for booking Wales over Turkey this summer hols.... Thanks for telling me, flying off to Bodrum in 2 weeks. F***ing typical. Hope the wind's blowing in the other direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted 21 July, 2010 Share Posted 21 July, 2010 If you are flying, please check your insurance. We bought holiday insurance recently and there are very few policies which allow for ash cloud disruption. It's worth paying a bit more for peace of mind. Some will include it but with an excess.

The average human wouldn't feel anything less than about magnitude 3. I'm not oging to lose too much sleep over it just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefunkygibbons Posted 22 July, 2010 Share Posted 22 July, 2010 Notwithstanding the size, I seem to recall that earthquakes are indicative of a magma chamber underneath a volcano charging and when it is fully charged, then things happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
