Volcano... how long will it last?

Just looking at the news and they say with the jetstream as it is this ash in the air from the volcanic eruption could be around for weeks...

That could cause some serious disruptions to people flying.

Anybody supposed to be going away any time soon??

My bro is stuck in Dublin, he is meant to be heading back to fish in Holland.

Our company has an agent in Iceland, he was telling me last week that the last time that volcano erupted properly a few hundred years ago, Europe was meant to have been dark for upto 3 months....

Hope not this time, Im planning on heading on holidays this year

Come Sunday, if it doesn't lift, my Ma & Pa will be stuck in Venice. They already had their flights out cancelled by Easy Jet (they had to pay for BA flights), so this will really make them moan!
 
It's also worth noting that most school holidays end at the end of this week, so many families may be stranded in hot countries with great beaches, unable to return to school or work...my heart bleeds for them...

looked out the window this morning and the cars are covered with a light dust... same with neighbours.. its mad.. live in the burren in co.clare IRL... (eyjafjoll) volcano erupted before back in the 1800's and caused potato blight as well as killing loads of people in northern europe with toxins... volcanologists are worried that a much larger neighbouring volcano(katla) will eurpt as tremors were recorded at the summit last nite.. if this erupts we are all in trouble

northern europe?? this volcano has the potential 2 block out the sun for months or even years on the plannet.. its classed as a super volcano. like the one under yellowstone national park in america.. the odds of that happening tho are not good thank god...
