Pastis, get your mask out of storage

Directly under the flight path for L'pool airport here, and not 'eard or seen a single one yet.

No engine noise but you can still hear whining. It's from the scousers unable to jet off to Benidorm. 

Thanks for the mucho  hilarity DS. Much appreciated.

Ay, Ay, Ay  Caarm down will yer.

The remark was made by UM from his convalescent home, not by me. 

As if I would make some disparaging remark about our Scally cousins. 

I know. I was being sarcastic actually, as that was the sort of comment YOU would normally make.

Now who is stereotyping?

It's not sterotyping, it IS A FACT, in'it?

You sutherners living with your superiority complexes' can't be seen to be missing an opportunity to look down upon and lay into us scoucers and flat cap and whippets types can you, oh no ?

Bitter? Me? Nah, just tired and weary.

Michael Parkinson, a well know "professional" northerner if ever there was one, once said, within my hearing as it happens, that the biggest difference between those from the North and those from the South existed purely in the minds of the Northerners. Having been married for 21 years to a girl from Yorkshire (and thus wed also to her extended Northern family) I have to say that he was right.

There is nothing "soft" about people who were born in the South, nothing easier about living in the South and "Southerners" do not get paid more, do not have more privileges, are not better educated and do not have better lives. NOR, until people from the frozen wastes that exist beyond the Watford Gap, start on with their bloody whining about 'ow 'ard life is oop t'north do we ever even give them a fvcking thought far less bother to stereotype them.

So stick that in thee roll-oop and strike a match!

Quite so.

All these rumours about them being feckless, under-age breeding, benefit-scrounging, thieving, pie-munching, drunken, beligerent degenerates are probably made up as well.

Thought all these airports were supposed to be fully open again, or have they closed them again?

Directly under the flight path for L'pool airport here, and not 'eard or seen a single one yet.

No doubt DS will come on and suggest that the scousers have nicked all the radios, wheels and hub caps off them while they've been parked up for the last week.

Here we go again, airspace above Ireland and Scotland has been closed again this morning due to volcanic ash






Vote for the Icelandic Volcano party, it's done more to stop immigration in the last few weeks than Labour have in the last 13 years
