These are strange times...
- Iceland unleashes a volcanic cloud which reduces air traffic to 1910 levels
- The Royal Navy stands by to rescue massed ranks of British from the coast of northern France
-Pollsters predict that the party which comes third in the popular vote may win the most seats
-Cambridge rowers petition the Queen to authorise the execution of a swan called Mr Asbo
I will only comment on the most important issue: rather than go to the Queen the angry oarsmen and women should just pop into St John's College which, apart from Her Maj, is the only body in the realm permitted to consume swan. I gatecrashed their 1978 May Ball (they only sold double tickets and unaccountably I couldn't find a girl to go with me) where swan was served - a bit like chicken but rather coarse and dry.
