Apparently all aircraft will be able to fly again immediately. A Solution has been found to the huge plume of ash which is coming from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland. Initially it was thought that disruption to air travel this was the work of terrorism but apparently not … there’s not that much oil in Iceland. Aircraft designers have being working on the new solution to this “King Size” problem.
The following solution will stop ash going into the engines – however it may cause some extra buildups of ash to occur in the atmosphere.

Why do passengers always clap when you land at your destination?
This may be just an Irish thing or it may just be on Summer flights to popular holiday destinations such as the Canaries… Either way it’s pretty strange when you think about it!
The pilots job is to land the plane. Therefore why is he clapped? If an 84 year old granny landed the Boeing 737-800 in a stiff 30 knot crosswind – I would certainly applaud that !!!
If you are on a local bus between your house and the shopping centre … Do you clap the driver?
Do you get clapped in work? I don’t get applauded for every advert I design, every script or app I write.
The Next time you are dealing with the service industry – in the bank, at the library, or in the restaurant – and you get good service ; give them a rousing round of applause to thank them and tell them you learned about it on your last flight.
