God REALLY doesn't like union busters

[fpb]

An enormous volcanic explosion has shut down the whole airspace over Britain and Ireland. Every air company in the world is going to lose money. But British Airways, unlike most other companies, have just wasted millions upon millions of pounds on a savage union-busting campaign disguised as a strike. And now they will find themselves further millions out of pocket, worse than most because they are based in Britain. As I said on another occasion: payback may be a bitch, but she tastes sweet as honey.

This (i.e. the strike) would explain why, when my family and I travelled over Easter, there were BA jets sitting rather forlornly in a distant corner of the airport. I know sometimes even a 747 or 777 can't be afforded airbridge space in a busy airport (when I first went to visit carlanime we were bussed out to the plane), but these two aircraft were... unusually remote from everything.

My next, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, question is "Who is going to go to the Icelandic volcano god and demand payment for his carbon credits?"

I think that would be playing with fire - literally. Icelanders already owe several billions each to Britain and the Netherlands because of the collapse of three local banks that had got delusions of grandeur in the Masters Of The Universe age, and they are mad as Hell, both with their bankers and with the British and Dutch - who seem to think that a country of 250,000 can find umpteen billion Euros in their children's piggy banks. Any further suggestion would probably get the suggester fed to the said volcano gods.

i don't think they have volcano gods, just lots of hidden people and santas in every hillside. some of them were probably working on mr ahmedinajad's letter to santa just prior to the 'eruption'...

Well, you talk with Surtur, after whom the recent volcanic island Surtsey was named.
