did anyone see the live BBC news reports from the different (virtually abandoned) airports last night? There was a guy at Bristol who fell flat on his face coming off the escalator at Bristol just as the live reporter was walking past him

They were repeating over and over again - "do not travel to London airports, all air travel over the UK is grounded until further notice"
Very sci-fi but a bit over the top, I thought

There's an information board south of Gloucester before the A road that's a shorcut to the M4 to London.
It just said: LONDON CLOSED: TURN ON RADIO
very apocolyptic I thought

the lovely Joanna Gosling was at Heathrow with reporters at Bristol, Glasgow and Manchester. They all had the same thing to say which was basically "nobody is here apart from some very sad looking souls who don't seem to know how to use escalators"

I've had my share of getting stuck overnight at airports. But that was with my brother and never with a girl like that. Wouldn't mind getting stuck overnight with her eh. If you know what I mean. Eh? Eh? I mean I would stick my penis in her vagina.

When nothing interesting happens (which is most days), they just need to fill it with reports like these and .... opinions from the man in the street *shudders*

I really think that Dutch reporter Joris Luyendijk's book 'Het zijn net mensen' (They are just like people) should be translated into more languages. Very interesting view on how reporters mostly have no idea what is going on and clearly know they are just guessing or at least aren't able to get the full picture. It is also a nice view in modern day Islamic countries.

Littlejohn is, unsurprisingly, asking if it's elf & safety gone mad.
On the comments, I suggested he fly up and find out.

Probability is that most of them will reach their destinations so there's only a very small chance you'll be on one of the doomed flights.

He's a lardy ball of impotent rage isn't he? I imagine him banging away at his keyboard desperately trying to reach the vitriol cum-shot before his head explodes like on 'Scanners'

that all he does is regurgitate Mail stories and say "You couldn't make it up" at the end.
Even ones that turn out to be made up.

The comments on his column make great reading though - because he covers a few different issues, you get a mind numbingly stupid comment about a volcano followed by a mind numbingly stupid comment about a family on benefits.
it's like the twat-o-tron crossed with the LHC.
