Has Anyone Been To Reykjavik?

First topic message reminder :

Am thinking of going in February for 3 or 4 nights, anyone got any advice about hotels, places to visit etc? Have had a virtual drive-round on google maps and it looks like a giant suburb.

There's a great thread about Peaky Blinders on the Telly section......

Makes sense

Hvernig dirfistu! bara vegna þess að ég hugleiddi gay hjónaband ef gerjuð hákarl var ekki upp til hraði

Er þessi þráður nú vinsælli en einn um er willy?

Didn't mean it in that sense but gives me an idea for some extreme bestiality.

We're probably about to found out that Crimey's real named is Olaf Sigmundsson

I think Bull is going to arrive any minute with his fluent Icelandic and tell us all off for being rude to women.

If it is then Ég elska Ísland! Fólk þeirra eru yndisleg.

Although if he is Icelandic surely his name would be Crimey Crimeysson?

Have you noticed that if you check out the top 20 posters for today, you and I have an uncanny resemblance to each other. Both wearing green as well.

We look nothing like Womble though.

note: I like how 'flaps' in Icelandic is....'flaps'.

I don't look like that really.

I do look like mine.

Where's your face?

Its there.

Green polo neck, vacant expression and basin haircut.

Bet you are a hit with the ladies!

The Womble wrote:Bet you are a hit with the ladies!

If only I had some Gore-Tex.

Do you think we'll find anyone on here that has been to Reykjavik?

The Womble wrote:Do you think we'll find anyone on here that has been to Reykjavik?

My guess is no.

Reykjavik?

No never been. I hear Galted is thinking of going. Maybe we could get him some travel tips.

I hear they don't sell thongs without the Icelandic flag on them.

A visit sounds like a good idea. Might start a thread to see if I can get some advice on where to go.

If you'd used an interrobang in the OP I think you might have got some more serious responses.

Thought it might frighten off the less literate posters. Would've been a good idea, with hindsight.

No, but they do sell tea towels

An interrobang would be far to frightening for for some posters

I hadn't even heard of them till Galted brought them up t'other day.

It wasn't on the curriculum up north.

No i've noticed a lot of things not on the curriculum since being up here.

Yeah but I bet you have learned how to shave using a knife, eat out for under £10 and discovered how nice cornflakes in lard are.

Where are you?

shaving with a knife was the first thing I learnt, eating out for under £10 is something we all should learn and cornflakes in lard is surprisingly nice.

I am in that magical wonderland that is Doncaster.

Donny. What took you up there.

I am not grooming you, just interested.

Oh sunny Donny

Don't you mean eating out for under £1‽ Northerners intrigue Galted.

The love of a good woman brought me up here. My missus is from Donny so I moved up from West London to be with her.

Donny isn't so sunny at the moment.

You old romantic. West London to Donny. Not the most well trodden path.

@ Galted; Southerners intrigue me. I particularly like the cheeky way you all speak. "Cor blimey Mary Poppins, I need to chase the artful dodger for his Stoke on Trent. Strike a light guv'nor, these apples and pears are killing me."

How very quaint.

Ha yeh I don't think it was on Phileas Fogg's path to glory! Even after 10 years of being up here people (including Mrs Womble) still think I talk funny and assume we are all like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. I'm even the 'token southerner' at work!

Galted says "I say! Tino is certainly quite the Berkshire hunt"..

You are what you eat.

I'm t'other way. When we get new people, they sometimes prod me and ask me slowly and loudly if I'm ok.

The Ukrainian girl thinks I'm awesome though.

Galted's place of employment keeps a team of northerners in the basement - very handy for keeping down the rat population though the stench is unbearable. They're also useful for sending out for humus or smoothies* when the temperature drops below 5C but they do need to be muzzled when in public.

* a smoothie consists of pulped fruit

I used to work with a Polish girl at a place a few years ago. She thought I was awesome. She might have been slightly retarded though......

The stench of rats or the northerners?

Can I also ask why you are referring to yourself in the third person? Will you be doing this all day?

Vomit and semi-human waste so probably the northerners.

Galted did intend to refer to himself in the 3rd person all day but is already quite tired of it, makes him sound quite pompous as well. He did it for the most shallow of reasons, because Tino did it.
