    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.

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

    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.
    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.

    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.

    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.

    I thought the SOP was grabbing the Pope and holding him hostage...?
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    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.
