Sounds like it should be a cartoon, doesn’t it? Well, be careful what you wish for – I’ve done exactly that.
As you may know, the UK is currently in an Armageddon-style blackout, with almost all air travel banned, as ash slowly creeps southwards across our Isles. Someone should make a film out of it.
Anyway, there was a certain degree of excitement in the office yesterday as people tracked the moving ash, NATS and the the Met Office department devoted to volcanic ash – bet you didn’t know about that one, eh?
So, after some interesting discussion about whether Steve would catch his flight or not, it all died down and everyone got back to work. And then it happened. Someone mentioned floating volcanoes. No, I’ve no ides where it came from either, but either way, they didn’t live it down for a while, as jokes flew (fittingly ironic, eh?) around about Mount Everest walking to Africa, and BA Cabin Crew striking over UFOs that later turn out to be volcanoes going for a little stretch. I couldn’t resist.
I put it up in the office today, to much raucous. In fact, it was so successful, I could be tempted to make it a more regular slot…you have been warned.
