The recent eruption of the Icelandic volcano has halted flights across Europe and caused flooding in parts of Iceland.

Leading geologist are worried about the greater risk of flooding, after the volcano erupted underneath a glacier.

The plume of ash generated from the eruption has slowly made its way towards the UK and other parts of Europe, which has forced the air control to halt all flights in the UK and some disruption to other parts of Europe, as the risk of engine failure is high.

This diagram below shows how the ash can effect the jet engines on an aircraft.

Here are some more images of the volcano courtesy of the BBC:

Tomorrow is the 163rd Grand National at Aintree so I thought I would do a little post that will help you choose your winner.

TIP 1: AGE – Concentrate on horse aged between 8-12

When choosing your horse its vital that you dont pick a horse that is too old for obvious reasons or too young as young horses tend too have more speed but less stamina.

*Trends reveal that no horse over the age of 12 has one in 86 years.
*Trends also reveal that 10 out of the last 13 winners were aged between 9-11.

TIP 2: The class of the horse.
This is obvious but choose a horse that has class, lower class horse VERY RARELY win the grand national.

Choose a horse rated between 137 – 157 on the day. Last years winner was rated at 148.

TIP 3: Weight of the horse
Another obvious characteristic which is probably the most important and shouldn’t be ignored. It common sense, a horse with more weight is going to find it harder to compete over the full length of the race.

Focus on horses bellow 11st 5lbs, as no horse has won over this weight in over 70 years.

TIP 4: The Stamina
The horses stamina is also crucial as its important that the horse can last the whole 4 miles.

Look at the horses past races to see if he has won a race over 2.5 miles.

There are also alot more factors too look at but this is just a quick summary of characteristic that I would recommend you look at.

You can watch the race live on the 10 April at 1615 BST, BBC TV, 5 live & online.

So there you have it, use these tips wisely and choose the winner

Named after Alexander the Great, cage fighter Alex is currently dating model Katie Price. Fighting under the names of Reidenator and The Detanator, he is trained in numerous martial arts including ‘Vale Tudo’ which he describes as “as near as you can get to total mayhem in a controlled environment”

I personally wanted Vinnie to win, but in the last few days I went off him alot and he was shown to be abit of a bully that abused his power so I ended up happy with who won it in the end.

Who did you want to win?

Rage Against The Machine single ‘Killing in The Name” has successfully taken the Christmas number one spot after just piping X Factor winner Joe McElderry’s cover of ‘The Climb’.

The last time the Christmas number one was not an X Factor finalist was way back in 2004 when Band Aid 20 had it with ‘Do they know Its Christmas Time’. Sales figures have been estimated 500k downloads for RATM ‘Killing In The Name’ compared to 450k downloads for Joe McElderry’s cover of ‘The Climb’.

I personally think the song is utter pants, I would have liked to see a better song to beat the X Factors run than the ‘Killing In The Name’. Well done to Joe for getting to number 2 spot, he does have a good voice, compared to some of the others.

Merry Christmas!

Yes, Gino D’Acampo has been king of the jungle, winning I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2009.

Gino was funny through out, especially in his challenge with Stuart.

Gino beat of stiff competition from Kim Woodburn and Jimmy White, to win the title of king of the jungle. I really enjoyed this years edition of I’m A Celebrity, they were a good crop of people all round and as always Ant and Dec were great. We now have a whole year to wait. Tune in next year

Well done Gino.

I have just come back from the cinema after watching Paranormal Activity, Jeez the ending was terrifying. Now first off lets remember it was a film made with a budget of just under $11000 but heck it didnt seem like it. Most of the scary bits are at the end, which kind of rescues the film as there are many scenes that are just boring. However It did its job and scared the hell out of me.

After doing some research ive discovered that the ending in the cinema version released on the 25th of November was not the original.

Im now on the look out for the original ending, if any of you manage to locate a version then please leave a link in the comments below.

You can view the trailer here:

I know I wont be sleeping tonight.

A very small percentage of you will be happy to know that John and Edward have finally been given the boot. They were in the last 2 with Olly Murs who I believe could win.

John and Edward are the seventh act to leave the current series, with now only 5 acts remaining. Its now getting to the business end of the competition, where bigger things are at stake.

It has been reported from numerous sources that Jedward have been approached by channels such as CBBC and Nickelodeon. They would fit just right. 

I for one wont be watching the X factor anymore as the Jedward has left the building.  It was fun while they lasted, good night and god bless Jedward

HELL YEAH! Many of you probably know, but Its back! It was aired during the advert break of the X Factor.

The advertisement fell into disuse in 2001, as the Coca-Cola company restructured its advertising campaigns so that advertising around the world was produced locally in each country. However in 2007, the company brought back the campaign after, as many people phoned phoned the company, as many saw the advert the beginning of the Christmas season.

Since I was young the Coca Cola Christmas truck advert has always got me into the christmas spirit, so im quite excited now!

Holiday are coming!

OH MY GOD….Sums it up really. In what must have been the most controversial show ever, I was almost certain that they would go today but the public must still like them!

However John and Edward managed to survive after Simon Cowell decided to take it to the public vote, which resulted in Lucie Jones leaving the competition!

Now I was all up for John and Edward before today, but its getting to a serious point in the competition now and Lucie Jones has a very good voice.

What do you think about Simon’s descion to take it to the public vote? Do you think hes just trying to make better viewing to rake in the viewers? We would like to hear your opinions.

So, John and Edward (Jedward) have managed to stay on the Xfactor for ANOTHER week. Even after so many people hating them, it clearly shows alot of people love them and want them to stay in.

John and Edward have divided the nation

I wanna know what you think! I have fiddled about and managed to get a poll done for the site, and therefore want YOU to vote if you like or dislike John & Edward.

If your living in the stone age (or just MAD) and using Internet Explorer so cant see the poll, comment instead
