How is the volcanic ash situation affecting you, your friends, family or work? - Page 9

Bah, It might not take that long now, they changed it a while ago with my bank (may have done it with Barclay's) where if I transfer money it is done in less than 2 hours and you can use it, see it normally in about 15 mins. May be something to look into before having to increase credit limit

Yeah, some cards that works, others it doesn't. I don't know if it's possible to check whether or not they accept faster payments.

If they do, just do a regular payment using the Barclaycard repayment sort code and account number, add the card number as the reference, and it should get there.

Did they have the bank details? Usually as long as you have the details of the card, then you can pay over the counter. However as he isn't the account holder, if he doesn't know the details, then they can't give them to him, i.e. if he has the card number/their address etc. I pay money into my Mum's account and vice versa all the time, it's never a problem as long as I fill a paying-in slip with all the information. If I don't have it all, then it won't happen.

Second volcano has apparently started up in Iceland now. Only report I've found so far is in spanish, but I've run it through google translate.

Scratch that - Seems like the alert on Hekla isn't true - the webcam was moved to point at the one that was erupting - and no one was told!

Hopefully MB can come in and explain the tremor thing as he very patiently did for me! Very exciting!

The different plots are from different sensors around the caldera

That is the plot for Katla which is the volcano which is historically linked to the one which is currently active.

You can see over the last few days that it has begun to rumble, now that might just be some blow back activity from the current eruption but it might not and if it isn't and Katla dominoes then, well, it won't be fun for the Icelanders and possibly the rest of Europe

"In the past, all three known eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull triggered subsequent Katla eruptions", which is not a good sign

There is only 1 Easyjet flight from Brussels that is currently listed as being operational tomorrow - mine. I wish they'd just hurry up and cancel it, I ain't going and wouldn't mind being able to keep the beancounters a little bit happy by getting a refund for a couple of flights.

Will Burble EVER return to the UK?

Stay tuned!

And they've just said on News @ 10 there is no new ash cloud! Make your bloomin' minds up!

Might convince EasyJet to cancel Burble's flight however.
