Being stranded in an airport, or any other place for that matter, is seldom fun. Having a serious illness such as multiple sclerosis is even less fun. Here's a joke that my friend squiffy2, webmaster for the Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre (http://www.msrc.co.uk/), posted. I hope lots of people laugh and contribute to this worthy cause:
Gordon Brown has responded to criticisms that the government is not doing enough to get stranded British citizens home. He has today authorised the dIspatch of Royal Navy vessels to key locations. Announcing details to the press he said: "We are about to undertake a significant logistical challenge to get our citizens back home. This will not happen overnight but we have drawn up a schedule starting tomorrow and running through to May 7th. We obviously need to prioritise cases so that those with the greatest need are repatriated first. We have therefore drawn up a detailed questionnaire which will allow us to prioritise."
The questionnaire is as follows:
Question 1: Which party do you intend to vote for at the General Election?
Hah!
ReplyDeleteLaugh.
ReplyDeleteVery funny. As long as you vote for Gordon Brown you'll get where you're going.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that more is not done to provide assistance to all those displaced people.I heard that some people were not even provided a blanket to keep them comfortable. Either the airline or the airport should make sure all their stranded customers are well taken care of. I heard that a Canadian family got little to no help from their Canadian Embassy.
Now, that I think about it back in 1974 we had to change our traveling plans do to the Cypress war and we went to the Canadian Embassy in Cairo but they didn't help much at all either from what I can remember.
Now, the volcanic ash is on it's way to Canada.
Inspite of the chaos that insued I find the geological event to be very interesting and it looks really cool too. The fact that planes that happen to go throughthe ash have the paint on them stripped off.
Cool stuff.
LMAO!!!
