I thought that was a sure thing too but maybe he's given up entering 500s/250s to avoid potentially having to w/d and intends to beg WCs if he needs them?

Not sure if the Icelandic volcano http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8621407.stm is going to cause problems for anyone getting to these tournaments - Colin, who's probably in the worst position because he needs to fly out of Scotland has just tweeted: "Edinburgh airport closed due to ash in the stratosphere from a volcano erupting in Iceland! Going to be a nightmare to get to Athens tmrow!"
Obviously those already in the US, Asia or southern Europe will be fine, I'm not sure how many are still in the UK, but I assume Boggo and anyone else not playing during the current week probably are.

yeah i was thinking about this, boggo is flying out Sat morning from London, although i guess if it bad he could delay till Sunday, although that's very flight dependant.
