Science

Well, our neighbours, the Cumbers family, are back from their extended stay in Cyprus, thanks to the intervention of a volcano in Iceland. Of course, their journey home, along with the journeys of thousands upon thousands of other people, needn't have been delayed at all, because the scientists got it wrong.

I'm not saying that volcanic ash isn't harmful to jet engines. Of course it is. But here in my corner of the UK there wasn't any. There were just clear blue skies, completely devoid of clouds, volcanic ash, and aeroplanes. Any fool would have thought it was perfectly safe to fly, but oh no! The Scientists convinced us all that those clear blue skies were actually deadly. Utter rubbish of course. They just didn't have any data to go on, so they lost the plot and went into meltdown, rather than just applying common sense.

So what do we learn from this?

i) Scientists don't have any common sense.

ii) We shouldn't be letting the cast of The Big Bang Theory make decisions.

Now we're supposed to decide who we're going to let run the country, based on their performance on The Weakest Link. God help us.
