Bloody Icelandic Volcano
on: April 15, 2010, 09:35:13 PM
Well thanks to this volcano eruption I am currently stuck in Manchester  :rant:

With any luck I'll be on my way back across the Irish sea tomorrow either by plane or boat  :tu: If not I could be here the weekend  :o >:(

I've been here since Monday and have several packages at home waiting for me ; I want to go home  :surrender:

Best of luck on the great escape Dan :tu:

On the plus side its been really quiet today, we normally get a lot of air traffic round us.

Perhaps Dunc can pop round the coast in his boat and give you a lift :P

I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

Haha. I was supposed to be flying to Belfast too (I assume that's where you were going Dan)?

Got up early, took all the sharps out of my pockets and bag and everything....... grounded!

Apparently, the last time that volcano erupted - it spewed out ash for two years :)

That was 100 years ago or something.

So I should start a new life in Manchester?  :ahhh  :ahhh :o

It's not looking good for getting home tomorrow though  :-\  Even if the airports are reopened there will be loads of people trying to do the same thing as me  :(

The Irish sea isn't looking too bad right now.  I'd hop on a catamaran rather than fight for a plane seat  :-\

Hi all,

After four hours of driving I am sitting on the ferry home   :ahhh :tu:

All flights are still out, there was the 'possibility' of flights to Ireland later tonight but I didn't fancy taking that chance. I got booked on the Cairnryan to Larne ferry for a mere £29 :tu: jumped in the hire car and headed North; I don't mind driving so it didn't bother me.

Should be home for 18:30 :ahhh :D

Here's somebody who made a few quid from this :D

A taxi driver was asked on Thursday by a group of businessmen to drive them to London from Belfast.
The 400-mile trip cost the businessmen £650 but they generously left him a £50 tip.
