you must realize, smoke gets in your eyes

The Platters did the best job of the song.

Now they are singing it all over Europe as the ash cloud strands millions.

You'll go for a spin if ash gets in your engine ...





Friends of mine are overseas. There's Pat and Johann and Geoff to name but three. I know they have especially arranged this very eruption to extend their stay and avoid the rigours of real life back in old Nu Zulun.

Let's pray for a disaster said Pat to Johann, I love it here in London Town. And Johann, being on initmate terms with great powers, agreed. And so whoosh ... bang ... kaboom .. and various other onomatopoeia!!! and what da ya know!   "Love ya lava!" cried Pat. "Happy Holidays!!!"

The name of the volcano is of course Eyjafjallajokull and Pat being a linguist is all across this word.

It just might be calming down. Thrown some more valium down it folks!

Test flights have flown successfully through the ash cloud. Now doesn't that just fill you with unbridled confidence folks!!

But its big brother KATLA is tipped to go any day now.

Geoff is planning to take his cross country teams over there to run up Katla before she blows. Pat and Johann have been in training in the Waitakere's before this current trip and they may well join the team.

"Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away.
If you could use some exotic booze,
there's a bar in old Bombay."
