“Call my loans bitches, I’ve got volcanoes you don’t even know about!”
~ Iceland
Europe has spent the week in travel chaos as a giant Icelandic cloud of ash has cast a pall over 22 countries grounding up to 17,000 flights a day. The Eyjafjallajokull volcano started to erupt just over a week ago. European media has speculated that the normally dormant volcano was brought to life by smoldering Icelandic outrage over Europe calling it’s loans, leading to the current deep recession. Icelandic officials were reached for comment, but no one understood a word they said. It is hoped that sister volcano Katla won’t fall prey to the same anger. If it does it could start a domino effect of volcanic eruptions eventually burying Europe under the same dark cloud that now hangs over the Icelandic economy.
Hey, we didn’t blame Iceland down here! Must say the morning and evening skies have been gorgeous in a subtle pastel sort of way.
Cartledge – Did you see the Brits called in the Royal Navy to help ferry their people home? I’m wondering where from, France, Hong Kong, Australia?! That’s going to take a while.
LOL, I don’t think the average Aussie would be too fussed being stuck in Europe. The Brits have a different issue, it is too close to home to make excuses. Big problem here is all the Aussies wanting to go to European war sites for ANZAC Day (26 April) The airlines refuse to board passengers going into the restricted zone, regardless of emotional remembrances.

Well, if it does, at least it will be easier to spell.
Spain for one

Will they also conquer Spain in like the Spanish intended for Britain in 1588? Elizabeth wants revenge for her namesake!
Infidel753 – and to pronounce!
It’s the old insurance ploy. They are bankrupt, send for an arsonist.
Matt – Who knows? They all speak Icelandic! :-)
Hanz – LoL!
