Volcano

Boy you guys in Britain and the mainland are having it rough over there from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano. Is there anyone out there who could provide phonetic spelling of this, how is it pronounced?

Are you seeing ash dust residue, or has it all remained up high? I see the English navy is getting involved to transport across the channel too.

And the finger pointing is starting too I see.

What a MESS!!!

This help?:confused

 

[ˈɛɪjaˌfjatlaˌjœːkʏtl̥],

That really doesn't help much! :wave:wave:-D

 

There's a speaker icon in that link, click and listen..

 

I can't see anything and it's a waste of space (literally!)

Some nice sunsets though however at the mo...

 

I heard they're lifting the ban on flying. Now is it really safe or is it because the airlines are loosing 5 billions dollars a day. I don't think I would trust them. I think I would move to where ever it was I was stranded LOL

 

Yeah the wrestling RAW superstars were over there and they couldn't fly back to the United States so they may not make it there tonight show. So Smackdown (thursday show superstars) will probably be most of the matches tonight.

 

Yup the flight ban is still on until tomorrow 7am (UK time)

 

North America isn't being excluded from this, Newfoundland has cancelled a lot of flights as the cloud is headed this way.

I read a little while ago that Sir John Cleese was stranded in Oslo, so what else to do than take a Taxi from Oslo to Brussels costing over $5000 .... good old JC, never lets a situation get out of hand :-D

 

Yup, had to listen to it some 10 times while looking at the spelling, an audio slowdowned version would be nice.

 

So I've got this mental image of you Brits wading through knee deep ash, bandanas wrapped around you mouths, googles, in perpetual twilight with the swirling ash blocking visibility to less than 50 feet.

Is that pretty accurate?
:-D:-D:-D

 

That sounds more like Los Angeles to me. LOL

 

I'm sure there's a lawyer somewhere, that will file a lawsuit somewhere, against somebody, or something somewhere, for the inconvenience, mental stress, or trauma, etc, etc, etc, etc that this catastrophe is causing.:cry:cry:

 

Took the words right out of mouth!

Yep, you can't see anything, only at sunset and rise.

 

Ooh, sounds like Mordor!:-D

 

Hehehe, another yank that knows Cannockians very well!:-D Blow, blow, blow your boat(doll) fentollily down the stream, merrilly life is but a dream. roflmao

Crap man, I screwed that up!:-o

 

Is it to early for Iceland jokes or will we just let the dust settle first???? LOL

 

Jees, you guys think you're hilarious! roflmao

 

The dad of a friend of my daughter's is stuck in Thailand and can't get a flight for another nine days. If there's one place in the world I wouldn't mind being stuck in, it's Thailand. Or Amsterdam But not Sunderland. Or Grimsby. I've been to both and they're worse than Middlesbrough. Hard to believe, I know, but true

 

Imagine, the fallout from that joke alone. The Icelanders will be looking to kick your ash!

 

Great photos out today

I like #19, and 33-35.
