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.

I wonder if they will soften their stance on flag encrusted underwear if they do qualify?

They'll probably just release a commemorative tea towel and each have an extra helping of Minke whale for dinner.

Tino!

Thought we'd lost you.

Busy this morning. Had to deliver some boxes of memory to a geeky IT firm near Liverpool Street.

There are some right weirdos there.

I though this thread couldn't stoop any lower.

Been busy as well, watching cctv footage from this morning when some of the security guards caught a memory courier wearing leather shorts and gave him a right good bumming.

He won't forget that.

The Elton and David spoon is one.

And we're going lower!

There's the mediocre bumming (aka the "meh" bumming), the HM Prison forced bumming, the rushed-for-time half bumming and, my personal favourite, the bloody magnificent bumming.

I'm prepared to go as low as is needed to get to 500 posts.

What about the 'I tripped over and landed on a bottle of becks which got stuck up my arris' bumming. Very common in A&E all over the country apparently.

Unless I am missing some pages, I reckon there are, not including this thread, 669 posts on the travel section.

This thread has a very good chance of getting more replies than the whole travel section combined.

Almost all of the funny stuff has come from me, but well done to some of the other contributors.

The son of a friend of the family had the worse kind of bottle bumming possible, was drunk and sat down too hard on a fold-up chair which collapsed, unfortunately for him there were bottles and glasses placed "safely" underneath causing him to get quite badly mutilated.

Bit of an irony considering it's by some way the most useless thread in the travel section.

Just saw Mr Bounce's unanswered thread in Travel, just think what might have been if Tino had responded with a "no".

Amended that for you.

I watched some Ryan Dunn / Jackass clips over the weekend. Almost forgot Toy Car Bumming.

Apologies for reposting but I think that this might leave you just a little bit red-faced.

This is Weisz getting some snacks together for one of Wingrove's visits.  I'm behind the tree in the centre smashing pint glasses.

Yes, red-faced with exasperation that you keep peddling this filth of an idea that Weisz would be/has ever been interested in you.

The very fact that she is married to James Bond tells me that she is unlikely to be attracted to a Hi-Tec wearing, Jack Wolfskin clad Gore-Tex fetishist who ambles around London looking like a slightly awkward Ray Mears.

a - James Bond doesn't really exist (& even if he did, he fell in love and had his heart broken in Casino Royale which makes him borderline cross-dresser/wee fetishist)
b - a Hi-Tec wearing, Jack Wolfskin clad Gore-Tex fetishist who ambles around London - I think I'll use that description on my internet dating profile, maybe this time I'll get a reply
c - looking like a slightly awkward Ray Mears - I'm taller than him and I don't wear shorts either (unless I'm in the bath)

You say that as if it's a bad thing?

My morality litmus test is simple, if I can imagine Clint doing it it's ok.

I can't imagine Clint saying "You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."  wearing a floral print frock thus, it's wrong.

I can't imagine Clint drinking any form of wee unless it was dinosaur wee or tiger shark wee thus, it's wrong.

Clint Eastwood invited me a Jamie Oliver Tupperware party the other weekend.

I didn't go.

You've just given me a brilliant idea for a wet dream, though it does also involve a large handgun, a bit of growling and a Tupperware coffin for Jamie.

Eastwood is ancient now. Oliver would kick his head in.

I think a bit of Clint died when he got sent the script for a Fistful of Willy.

As dodge as it sounds, A Fistful of Willy has become like Kryptonite to me.

This thread is 6th on today's most active threads list.

Doesn't say much for the forum.

There's no such things as A Fistful of Willy. I've just googled it and nothing, zilch.

Tried it on google images and, disturbingly, the first two pictures are of men frolicking in the sea with kids.

Maybe his name was Willy.

On another note, I met Paul Daniels once.

On the other end of McGee?

No no, she was no where to be found.

The Womble wrote:Maybe his name was Willy.

In Reykjavik? You should have said earlier.

Reykjavik? No, I've never been there. No this was in London

Is Paul Daniels from Reykjavik?

Possibly

Paul Daniels owns a house in the next village to me.

Actually, he doesn't. That would be Daniel 'James Bond' Craig and Rachel 'I hate Gore-Tex' Weisz.

Just thought I would mention it.

Her hatred of Gore-Tex almost came between us but my Jack Wolfskin 3 in 1 Texapore Jacket with removal fleece (which can be worn separately) and hood came to the rescue.

You know what, you're beginning to win me over. I am slowly seeing why one of the worlds most beautiful women would possibly have had intimate physical contact with you.

Care to explain it to me Tina, because all I see when I imagine Galted is a second rate Ray Mears with borderline sociopathic tendencies. Would never dare to assume what the delightful Mrs Bond goes for in a chap but struggle to imagine it is that.

I see myself more as carer really, Jeff.

I actually think Galted believes he has slept with the lovely Mrs Weisz. If we keep him contained on here, he is less of a threat to general society.

What's with the continual Ray Mears comparisons?  If he wore Gore-Tex or Texapore he wouldn't be p1ssing about trying to make shelters out of snot and banana leaves.

I can't speak for Jeff, but for me it is the slightly awkward, portly chap in dull clothing comparison that does it for me.

The kind of guy that walks around with a slightly bemused look permanently etched on their face and shockingly 'limited' social skills when out in public.

Maybe I am way off the mark, but you're not doing much to convince me otherwise.

In my defence I compared you to Bear Grylls initially but the more I see of you on here I realise that is far too complimentary, Mears seems to fit the bill better.

I got hit on by a chick at the pub on Saturday. Very uncomfortable 5 minutes. Would have been at it like a rat up a drainpipe in normal circumstances but whatever I had in terms of chat has seemingly disappeared. Very sobering feling afterwards.
