Hi Rasa, been looking also for Catalles. Better news on next trip to the dam this Friday 27may for 10 days (balcony room man!)
will pm Cat. From my lil daeling room 3am BST

Updates with German closures, other details.)

DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

The volcanic ash cloud that grounded hundreds of European flights was expected to force cancellations across northern Germany and parts of Scandinavia on Wednesday, after clearing the U.K., which bore the brunt of earlier disruption.

Transatlantic services remained largely unaffected as the cloud moved east, affecting services to and from Hamburg, Bremen, Lubeck and Magdeburg.

Ryanair Holdings PLC (RYAAY), Europe's largest carrier of airline passengers, said it had cancelled flights in northern Germany until 2:00 p.m. local time on Wednesday. Deutsche Lufthansa AG (DLAKY, DLA.XE) also warned of disruptions it said may extend to Scandinavia.

Ireland-based Ryanair continued to question the imposition of a no-fly zone by regulators.

U.K. authorities said ash was seen clearing its airspace by 1:00 a.m local time. Glasgow airport said it expected services to resume Wednesday. Edinburgh airport also saw all flights cancelled Tuesday and disruption spread as far as Newcastle in northern England.

The latest projections from the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center in London showed ash concentrations deemed unsafe for flying drifting east from central Scotland across the North Sea by midday Wednesday.

Iceland's airports reopened and the country's meteorological office said eruptions at the Grimsvotn volcano appear to be subsiding.

Most transatlantic services looked set to remain unaffected as high ash concentrations remained north of the main routes between Europe and North America, though a second band extending across Russia forced some planes to be rerouted, according to Eurocontrol, which coordinates air-traffic control in Europe.

Airlines affected by the ash cloud will be eager to resume operations as quickly as it is safe to do so. Carriers last year lost millions of euros when clouds of ash from Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano crossed much of Europe, prompting aviation authorities to close roughly 80% of the European Union's airspace.

A spokeswoman for Eurocontrol said 500 scheduled flights were expected to be canceled Tuesday for safety reasons. Typically, there are 29,000 flights daily in Europe, she added.

Ryanair said it canceled dozens of services from Scotland and northern England on Tuesday at the behest of Irish regulators and maintained that two test flights revealed "no safety threat" from ash, a finding the airline said was supported by the aircraft and engine manufacturers.

British Airways, EasyJet (ESYJY, EZJ.LN) and KLM were among those who also canceled services to Scottish airports on Tuesday. Continental Airlines, a unit of United Continental Holdings Inc. (UAL), planned to resume flights from New York to Scotland after cancelling services late Monday.

Continental's overnight flights to Oslo and Copenhagen both departed Newark late Tuesday.

BA's transatlantic traffic continued, but journeys were subject to brief delays as flights were rerouted to avoid affected areas, said a spokesman for British Airways, which is part of International Consolidated Airlines Group SA (ICAGY, IAG.LN).

I too liked the first couple of seasons, because the theme was about weed and not the mundane every day bullshit of a pot dealers life, sort of. But let's not forget what sells in the US, melodramatic story lines with oodles of hyperbole.

IIRC, the last foray she had with cannabis was making (Ice-o-lator) hash, using commercial wash/dryer machines? WTF? I loved the bit when Nancy was trying to sell the hash and the buyer told her people don't want downer shit... :oops: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think Rasa is right, and I will take it a leap further - the show jumped the shark when weed no longer was the protagonist. That's right, the weed and not Nancy.

Happy getting high, without the business...

Ere Uncle Ron you 61 year old lower class working git!? Whats all this then abaht the so called " mundane every day bullshit of a pot dealer then"???? Its a very hard life dealing Cannabis in London these days. The ovah week we even had to get ole bill to help us get the clamed Merc of a pic up truck. Police Constable Fred Green even gave a hand. E said to me "Listen sunshine, I dont care what ya frigging name is. You should not have removed a ton of engine and filled it up with 9 bars of cannabis. THATS why it wont start! There is no fucking engine it! Where is the engine then?" I told im its in the lock up behind us. Thats how we send em to Amsterdam to get topped up. Silly bleeder e calls me "Dont you know that in this model sir you can get all dem 9 bars in the boot? " Well I said, I fort we was supposed to remove the Engine and hide it like. Nah he said, "in this model sir all that Cannbis will fit in the boot!"

Bless him, P.C. Green spent all afternoon walking arroun the car to hide it in the boot. We then put the engine back and drove off. P.C. Green would not even accept a 9 bar tip! All we could do was roll him a fat one as he lit it behind the garage to smoke it.

Mundane Ron, the fucking car stalled twice on the South Circular! Nearly crashed into that tower at Hammersmith where wots is name is burried. Have some respect Ron, not every day is easy mate.

No, I'm not a 61 year old working git. :lol:

My comments about the mundane life of a pot dealer were about the character(s) and shows creators (writers/producers/directors/management, etc...) and not about "real people". The first and second seasons of Weeds were great, but when the show went south of the border, it jumped a shark along the way... that's just my opinion about the show, and some of the characters as well.

So, WTF has this got to do with real life?

Next...

Fucking ell Ron, whats that all about? I said. She said it would be nice for the new owners and add value. Add value, its gonna cost me 2 grand to get it done properly !

Um, ok...
Not sure how this all fits with the TV show Weeds, but ok.

As for the original subject line, it's an old business, like prostitution. :shock: :lol:
The powers that be realize there isn't a massive profit to be made because anyone can grow it. There is a market, but it won't be as large as some theorize. Ex. Some argue that people want convenience and can't be bothered to grow their own, so they go to a local establishment that offers what they seek. This may be true but I don't think to the extent some would argue. One has to ask - if the neighbors grow their own and I slip them a fiver now and again, my needs will probably be met, right? Good bye to the plethora of middlemen and their masters.

What ever happened to the flavored weed that was taking everything and everybody by storm? Another get rich quick gimmick that went by the way of the Dodo.

I'll continue to sit back and watch con artists try their damnedest (and succeed) to separate fools and their money.
Everybody needs to learn to grow and make the business behind getting high irrelevant, all things considered.

Happy getting high without getting the business...

For those of you who have not seen it, I think this is a right giggle.

Again you will need vimeo, takes secs to load, not all afternoon!, and if on hitting play you get Donald duck sound, then right click on the screen and turn off HD.

I like it any way, especially when you consider that it is the only God given plant, that actually grows NEW brain cells. Mind you, do not tell the Daily Fail readers, or their sons and daughters and them selves may get paronoid.

If my sister tried just one good joint you may find her tearing off the label off her Jimy Choos! Calling her Label Lou just now!

Come back Woushy Poushy, all is forgiven. Here, its a good job there is not VAT on the Daily Fail. Over here the £1 copy, if there is such a thing, will cost you £1. 05. After all, ole 20 means 20 needs £210,000 per anum when he is 95 so he can hoble to Hawai it is alledged! I heard that Mrs £210 a week was quite happy getting a Rank Taxi to the Bingo. She said to my daughter the other day "How do you upset 7 old ladies aged 60 plus?" We dint know. She said, "creep up behind them in the public bar and say BINGO. Then they will go "Ahhhhhhher!"

Cheers Peter, was looking everywhere for that one :oops: Davex4
