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 think mine was about a horse from memory.  Probably best we leave it there.

superfly's was about how many deep fried bottles of cider a man can eat in 24 hours.

75?

Don't be silly - it's only glass and can't hurt you.  

Ahh ok, more like 100-120?

superfly only did 104 but his mate 'strange' Kevin once did 117.

Not really. Just a reminder as to how crap my worklife is.

I feel your pain

Sorry about the lack of a contribution on the run-in to 670 but I didn't go to work to today and have little to report Hi-Tecwise.  The two pairs are standing next to each other near my paper shredder, quite sweet really, I might take a photo.  The handover (or, should I say, footover) from old pair to new has gone reasonably smoothly, both pairs have handled it quite well.

Why didn't you go to work?

I took a day off on the misguided assumption I was going to get my leg over last night.

You took a day off in readiness?  

Just what exactly what were you planning on doing!

Stick around, Womble is about to hit 1000. Could be a big moment.

My 1000th post

Blimey talk about anti-climax!

Boom. There it is.

Congratulations.

    

Intrigued. Did you just think someone was going to turn up out of the blue on a Tuesday night and you'd get laid or was there more to the story?

Some of these 'emoticons' are rubbish, so here is a picture of a beer

He probably went out on the pull only to be disappointed when all the young, attractive and newly single females had already set their sights on you.

Went to a pub quiz with a girl I've been out with a few times and thought I'd amaze her with my general knowledge but was only good at naming countries starting with U.  She made a run for it on the Tube a couple of times and got away on the second one.

Was the 2nd one a tube with barriers between the carriages?

Were you wearing Jack Wolfskin and Hi-Tecs?

Nah, she slunk away through the crowd changing trains at Oxford Circus,

I was Wolfskinned (left the fleece at home) but not wearing the Hi-Tecs, had on smartish stealthy-looking trainers.

I don't what her problem is then. Miserable old goat.

Was she Ukrainian?

Your knowledge of Uzbekistan probably put her off.

F****d if I know what her problem was.

She was Russian, not a bad guess though.

You 2 are just showing off now

Can't speak for Galted, but I'm not even using a translation tool.

You are quite amusing Comrade Tino.

перхапс Galted гот луцкий ласт нигхт ?

It does it is just a colloquial form of Russian, a bit like Northerners interpretation of English.

I was wondering if yo managed to track down the East European escapee?

Aha, though a northerner's interpretation of English isn't any more a language than barking or bleating is.

Not yet, but set an ambush for tonight. Have lost all faith though.

Galted wrote:Aha, though a northerner's interpretation of English isn't any more a language than barking or bleating is.

As opposed to the glorious interpretation that southerners have.

Cor-blimey guv'nor, I'm in a right two and eight about er indaws. Its getting right on my wick. Shes been sleepin' wiv da neighbaaahr an' I'm gonna 'ave ter smash da c*nts face in. Nuff said, yeah?

Had me a bit confused with "face". Think you mean "boat".

Galted, was Wingrove in World War Z? If he wasn't I suspect it was a glaring omission by the casters.

seanmichaels wrote:Galted, was Wingrove in World War Z? If he wasn't I suspect it was a glaring omission by the casters.

They were going to call it World War Wingrove but were worried the alliteration would be too much for American audiences.

Not sure, it arrived from Lovefilm the other day so will give it a watch soon and see if I can spot him.

Just checked out the coat that belongs to the Ukrainian girl in our office.

It is a Regatta Iso-Tex 5000.

Ruskies love hardy clothing. Except the ones in Talinn (Estonia). In fact Alexandra didn't wear much when she was sat next to me trying to get me to buy her a cocktail. Lovely girl though, wanted to get in to acting.

Had a look on the net and they're cheap crap.  Get her a Texapore or GoreTex and you might be in there without the need for resorting to anything illegal.  Best to get a Unisex one so you can take it back when you've had your way.

 

You definitely have a plan for every occasion.

Cheers, michaels. Hopefully one of them will work soon.

It's funny as she has Jimmy Choo's on today so I'm surprised her coat is so cheap. It's quite a garish red as well.

The shoes are very nice though. Black heeled ones with yellow straps across the top.

Calves are a very underrated part of a woman's body. They are incredibly sexy in a nice set of heels. Don't get many of those in my office mind, just the type that wear dresses which are 2 sizes too small.

She obviously concentrates on one part of the wardrobe to the detriment of the rest and hopes no-one will notice, obviously didn't bank on there being an office pervert.  It's quite a common mistake in those new to fashion and style.  I make sure I've always got a rugged yet aesthetically-pleasing pair of Hi-Tecs to complement my latest waterproof and windproof coat/jacket.

As long as the coat has enough pockets for your (extra small) condoms, you'll be fine.

I wouldn't class myself as a pervert. Just with her because of the voice and older women.

What do you do in the summer? I wear Toms deck shoes. Classy, lightweight, yet with a hard wearing soul for repeated use. They also don't make my feat get sweaty as you can wear them without socks yet I don't have to display the hair on the top of my foot that I would if wearing sandals. I find that hair quite unsightly.

You can't wear Hi-Tecs in 25 degree heat, surely?

I wear Hi-Tec boots in summer as well, but am considering getting a pair of Hi-Tec sandals.  Am going to SA next week so will buy a pair and try them out.
 
@Lumbering_Jack, the coat is waterproof so I just wrap a bit around my (extra small) c0ck and save money.

Promise I'm not lying here, but as a punishment when me and my brother were younger my mother bought is a pair of hi-tec trainers for school. It was such an emotional time for us.

Didn't have to wear them in the end. My dad stepped in and stopped the child cruelty that was about to occur.
