Worth a thought!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





"I'm voting for the Icelandic Volcano Party!

It's done more to stop immigration in the last 5 days than Labour has done in the last 10 years."

our best man is still out there, his flight was cancelled. they've said they'll be able to put him on a flight on the 28th/29th which will have him back just in time for the wedding. so fingers crossed it'll all clear to fly from there next week!

That's great news Eadoin - really pleased for you! I think he'll get here fine. It will take a lot for the skies to be closed again. I got on a flight leaving tomorrow evening so I'll get home on Sunday night. Only a week late so could have been a lot worse although I'm not looking forward to the two days of travelling.

The girl covering me at work sent around an email to all staff (I have a BlackBerry so can see what is going on) to say I'd got stuck and would be back in work on Tuesday. It got some very funny replies. I think everyone is going to want to hear the story when I'm back in! I'll get lots of coffees out of it!
