Blackbirds don't do that.

(Although starlings are black birds that do do that.)

Awesome Aurora over Kerid Crater, Iceland.

You don't always see a scene this beautiful when you hike to an ancient volcano -- you have to be lucky. When the astro-photographer realized that aurora was visible two-weeks ago, he made a night-time run for the top of the caldera to see if he could capture them also reflected in the central lake. When he arrived, he found that ... the northern lights were even brighter and more impressive than before! And his image of them is the featured 13-frame panoramic mosaic. The crater lake in the center is called Kerid (Icelandic: Kerið) and is about 3,000 years old. The aurora overhead shows impressive colors and banding, with the red colors occurring higher in the Earth's atmosphere than the green. The background sky is filled with icons of the northern night including Polaris, the Pleiades star cluster, and the stars that compose the handle of the Big Dipper.

If the any of the crew survived do you think they they would've got a bit of a kicking.

If I didn't know better I would have guessed that was the early days of Ryanair at Stansted, complete with the obligatory mad rush to get seats next to one another.

With the exception of the puddle jumpers used up here all the planes I've flown on have had seats next to each other.

As my ol' mum would say, you know what I mean and you're just being 'cussed'.

Your mum was politer than my old dad.

The link says two dead, one wounded, one uninjured.
As for a kicking, only if they were Hibs fans

Probably not if they told the crowd they'd dropped their bombs on the English.
