See? Britain and Netherlands tried to force Iceland to give up their money, and this is what you get. Take the lesson, don't mess with Iceland!!

Though now everyone on Easter Holidays will blame Iceland for ruining them.

Also, BBC Geography fail:

And in the process annihilate part of Iceland?? Before the effects are equivalent, volcanic Icelanders will have drowned in their own lava.

That's a correct sentence. It can be shortened to "the baltic states and Slovakia." That's why there's a comma before the second and, and also the second and itself. Best sentence in a long while.

Also what does skrür mean? I get the rest of the blackmail note, but don't get that word.

Anyway, what do you think would happen if the vulcano would keep up those ash clouds for a year or simular? Considering its crippling effects on airflights.

"Turn". As in; "...and we'll turn off the volcano".

You're lacking in Norwegianskillz, eh?

skrur=slår then.

I blame the lack of grammar. Didn't get og correctly (red it as or). So the message said: "Give us money or we turn off the vulcano". That made it a very stupid blackmail letter.

Interesting how the cloud manages to cover the whole of Britain and Northern Ireland, but misses the Republic.

It also misses out France but for that tiny corner where Calais is, which is virtually little England. The French may now be worse cooks than the English, but it seems they've got God on their side.

Pft, God by now has learned He doesn't mess with Gaul heathens, or we'll burn even more Catholics.

Emissions have no effect on climate. Planes have been grounded even without erupting vulcanoes, which means this vulcano is not the cause of the current airtraffic breakdown. You are only writing this as a scheme for more government control. I've hacked your emails and in 2004 you wrote about a magician's show '...went up in a puff of smoke, a cool trick...', which means your information in this thread is falsified.

Does this block flights from DC to Germany? I wonder if this delays MRD's deployment even longer.

Viking 22:13 04-16-2010

Since Iceland has no army, someone should really invade them and shut down their volcanoes for good; then we'll see who's tough.

As someone who knows a bit about language, the attempt at writing something Icelandic-like looks really poor. The Icelandic word for "police" is actually 'lögregla', and the letter "ü" is not at all in the Icelandic alphabet. It should also have been "við" and not "vi"; and the "þ" looks really misplaced.

i like how ireland was like the only country still braving flights.

Hosakawa Tito 10:42 04-17-2010

That's just the little one. Wait till it's nearby big brother wakes up, they usually erupt in tandem. It's going to get a bit cooler round here and the ferry & train operators are going to love all the extra business.

cegorach 10:52 04-17-2010

I smell blackmail.

All right - keep our 100 million and turn it off!*

Unless... it is another American secret weapon (Hugo Chavez TM).

There has been the odd flight to America but mostly the flights are cancelled because there is nowhere for the planes to go to.

Were sitting in a nice high pressure area the weather has been lovely these last few days the sun is shinning I suppose the high pressure is keeping back the low pressure area where the ash has covered.

Good sarcasm. I've always found the idea of paying off risky investments to be a weird one. You risk, you lose. You will be more careful next time...

imagine Hitler had invaded Iceland in the WW2

I thought the SOP was grabbing the Pope and holding him hostage...?

What is funny, is that the volcano has caused more damage than the debt they possess.

Which begs the question: Does the world need Iceland? Time for Atlantis II. We'll get the guy who did Inconvenient Truth.

Maybe if we station enough Marines there we can get the island to capsize.

I hate him with every fibre of my being. I switched off an episode for the first time since Sylvester McCoy last week. They redesigned the Daleks.

(I think this is known as derailing the thread. I have banned myself but will return in a Christmas special).

Viking 20:23 04-20-2010

No problem, we can bring it back on track with funny jokes

"Europe asked for cash, but Iceland could only pay with ash."

"Before the Icelandic economy died, its last uttered wish was to have its ashes scattered over Europe."

gaelic cowboy 20:41 04-20-2010

Seen a comment on tinternet which read

Oh Iceland !
Yesteryear you burnt our cash,
This year you sent up your ash,
Now we are all in despair,
Cos no one can fly in the air !

Icelanders say, "Kiss my ash".

drone 23:30 04-20-2010

There is no 'C' in the Icelandic alphabet. So it was an honest mistake.

Pannonian 18:06 04-21-2010

The ash cloud now covers the whole of Ireland plus the Scottish highlands, but most of Britain is clear. How do we interpret religious and political orthodoxy in light of these new developments? NB. the cloud seems to be moving towards Canada.
