Already done it 5 times. Not sure it's still working though.

Get some Icebreaker boxers - made from extremely fine NZ merino wool - you can wear them for weeks at a time... :P

We've been at a friend's wedding today (much fun had by all).

They're due to fly out to Italy on Monday for their honymoon, not sure how likely that is now

No chance of getting their flight on Monday I think.

Even if the restrictions are lifted at 1900 today then there will be planes out of position, crews out of position so the airlines will have to either fly the planes empty to get them to the passengers or cancel flights. Every single time they'll choose to cancel the flights.

I'm supposed to be flying to Italy (from Brussels) on Tuesday evening and will be shocked if that happens. Not that I'm upset as avoiding Milan is always a bonus.

My mate was supposed to fly to tokyo Friday on holiday, so he's peeved.

ALL international post from the UK except europe is apparently going nowhere (even surface???) although just read that some US mail is going by road to a Southern Europe airport and being flown from there.

No impact here that i'm aware of.

A bloke at work was supposed to be going on holiday when it all kicked off, not happening now.

We were expecting a parcel from Austria via TNT express which will now have to come by road. Luckily our consignments at work from Italy are road shipped so no angry customers.

Burble, the only good thing about Milan is the women and the food. Was over there a couple of weeks back for an exhibition, luckily it was a nice couple of days, glad I'm not stuck there, I'd have zero cash left.

Flight restrictions have been extended until at least 0100 BST on Monday and forecasters say the ash cloud could remain over the UK for many more days.

But even with the food as good as it is there, it isn't good enough to make me want to go to that dirty, disgusting crap hole of a city.
