Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Well its Sunday morning, everyone else is still asleep, and I'm on hold with Qantas, so I thought I'd kill some time......
Obviously the longer it goes on, the more people the ash cloud will affect, so it'd be interesting to see just how many of us are in limbo at present.

Ash Cloud?
Is he an entertainer?;)

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

:lol: sounds like the hippy type to me ;)

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Not to be trusted eh?

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

I voted the relatives are supposed to visit but unable to...partly correct...actually they're supposed to be on their way to Ireland from Canada in a week's time. Looking at the backlog of passengers to get through first once flights resume, whenever that is, I really doubt they'll be departing as scheduled.

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Yeah, he's very good too, putting a big smile on my face at the moment:D

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Will probably be stuck en route (Madrid) back to London tonight/tomorrow morning.

Not complaining if I miss a few more days of work. :)

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

As you can't get out the country you could always offer to do voluntary work here... http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/aviation...aacuk_vag.html

Not unlike your Aussie job.

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Still on holiday till Friday, and not even thinking about work, London in the sping has far too many pleasures for me to do anything that silly!! After Friday things might change.....

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Can you not claim a council house and benefits in London to finance the shopping, most other arrivals who overstay there welcome in the UK can?

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

I reckon there are a few Al-Qaeda members placing a jihad on that bloody volcano right now!

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Either that or they blew up the volcano in the first place!!!

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

You do realise that the last time that volcano erupted it went on for a year :eek:

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Something makes me think they'll start flying again before then, KLM have already flown a test flight and are now checking ash results.

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Do I look like I'm complaining!!!
After 45 minutes on hold listening to the most annoying and misleading song in istory, "Still call Australia home....." I now have an extra 4 days holiday! YEay see ya in the bar Bernie, mines a pint of cider :)

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

i have a lot of dust all over my car (im in sheffield, uk) ... apparently some scientific person here in sheffield has tested it, and its from the volcano ... :ohmy:

there you go, a completely useless piece of info for you :thumbup:

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Dont bleeden say that the inlaws are due to go home on the 29th

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

You forgot to post my complaint - I hope my teachers are back - I know 1 went to Ireland - I've had them(the kids)for over 2 weeks and I need a break;)

Update tomorrow.
lol

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

This does not end well for Europe.

Kudos to the dutch (KLM) and BA for doing test flights. Even if they're happy, the have to wait for airspace to open. You can't fly VFR with passengers.

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Airlines already talking about putting prices up.

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

That was a foregone conclusion straight away. The amount of money the airlines are losing they really were always guaranteed to put prices up.

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Might just have to book my Xmas ticket asap.

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Family are stuck in Sydney.... supposed to return to UK on 16th - but now rebooked for 25th.

Qantas are paying their hotel and food costs and they are all enjoying some extra beach time whilst they wait it out... :D

(Kids are happy to miss school - adults dont seem TOO distressed about missing an extra week and a half of work!)

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Been to Limbo, hated the place ... isolated, racist and insular ... I was lead to believe it had cheap housing and was like England but with sun ... I was so gutted I had to spend 5 years ranting about it on ILoveLimbo.com.

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Two out of three of my kids school teachers and 2 out of three ballet teachers all stuck in UK. The kids are a bit upset because they'll miss out on school photos today and one of the ballet teachers is 31 weeks pregnant so if she doesn't get back the kids are worried she'll have to stay there and have the baby and return when the baby's six weeks old and they're all gone for summer.

Could be worse... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laki

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

All my teachers are in !!! - YEPeee:)
One flew last wednesday - one of the last flights out.

catch up soon - loved brisbane:)

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Anyone know if they'll be all caught up by 9pm on Wed (UK) my in-laws are due overand I'd hate for them to be delayed

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Highly unlikely. Majority of planes and crews are in the wrong place, going to be chaos for a fair bit longer yet.

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

looks like a nightmare at Heathrow

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

I love you Moneypenny, and your little dancing cat :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

:lol:

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

I loved it mate, your obviously on a different limbo to me. It's loads better here as they keep lowering the bar & it makes it more difficult to get in:thumbsup:

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

:D

I also tried the Democratic Republic Of Conga but I didn't pass the group dance test.

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

How about the Federal Republic of Birdy Song?



















It's in your head now, don't deny it....... 'with a little bit of this and a little bit of that and shake your ass......'















My work here is done :sneaky:

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

I always wondered what the cat was dancing too. Figures.

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

If you play nearly anything, other than trance, you should find she's boogieing down to all of it :D

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

Yes & as of now I think the red light flashing on the top of the radio is really a I.E.D timer & the cat, along with the birdie song in my head, will self destruct sometime real soon:frown::p

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

We can only hope ...:D

I may try Chad next ... I can just imagine a load of immigrants peeking over a wall with a "Wot No Visa?" speech bubble next to them.

Re: Volcanic Ash Cloud Flight Poll
 

:lol: Just had a blonde moment. Very briefly wondered who Chad was :o:rofl:
