He's just in a bad mood because he doesn't like Mondays.

As long as Bob Geldof is one of those wiped out I can accept the rest as collateral damage!

Well that telex machine* is still too clean.

Are they still around?

Yep, it's used on ships and it's still used for money transfers to and from some countries. Saw one in a bank in Dar es Salaam a couple of years ago, but I think they're phasing them out in favour of this here newfangled internet.

At least telex has sex appeal.

Under the delayed flight legislation, if your flight is delayed or you are denied boarding, they have to give you two phone calls, emails or telexes.

British Midland looked blank when I demanded a telex machine when I was denied boarding

Fukushima worker accidentally switches off cooling pumps, backup kicks in - World News

Thousands of people in Japan suffering from persistent and unexplained nosebleeds. ...

Seeing as most of the ongoing problems are caused by concentrated Uranium 235 continuing fission reactions, I wonder if paradoxically the quickest, cheapest and most effective long-term solution wouldn't be wait for an offshore wind and rain, and then simply set off a ground level 10 megaton nuclear explosion to vapourise and disperse the whole kaboodle.

The snag is that would of course produce a large amount of extra irradiated dust, and cause damage for miles around. But hopefully most dust would soon sink to the bottom of the Pacific.
