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.

Am enjoying Tino's mini-meltdown this afternoon........

Just kidding around, Galted. We should head to the limerick thread.

F*cking m*n-bags.

Oh God.

Is it just me that doesn't have a man-bag then?  I occasionally carry a Tesco 'bag for life' if I can find one at home but I usually carry my lunch in a plastic bag.

I don't even own a USB stick.

Relax, Tino, I'm of the same ilk. A sainsbury's bag is my preferred method of lunch carriage.

If you need a pint of bitter down the Guinea to get over it I'm only round the corner......

At last. Someone with a pair of balls arrives.

Fists, you have jumped straight to the top of my bestest posters list.

At least I'd know what you looked like.

A big tall fat dude with a gay-bag slung over his shoulder.

I'm honoured. I felt too 'out there' using an M&S bag on the one occasion...not sure how these man bag types can sleep at night.

Both my man bag and brown leather satchel have been left at home today actually.....

I knew you wouldn't, pal. You can go to second on the all important TBP (Tino's Bestest Posters) list. Can't have you top as that would be silly but you can slip in under Fists if you'll pardon the expression.

1) Fists
2) michaels

I don't have a manbag either so where am I on the TBP list you technologically-retarded ignorant wannabee-northerner?

4th. You would be a place higher if you didn't dress like a slightly camp Ray Mears.

Will I go any higher if I point out that I don't really dress like Ray Mears as I don't own any green or khaki jackets or trousers? And when I see someone building a shelter I like to kick it over, a technique know as "Wingroving" where I come from.

No because I flat out don't believe you on the khaki trousers front. And you're quite rude to me occasionally.

Jodie Foster tells me to do it.

I actually picture you looking a bit like Hinckley.

But dressed like Ray Mears, of course.

I think I need to employ Gok Wan or start wearing a turban.

No tino, I don't have one. My lunch sits on the passenger seat of my car in a Morrisons bag on the 5 minute drive to work. I have no need for a man bag.

I am quite clearly Tina's favourite poster. We can overcome the man bag issue.

Nice Womble, nice.

TBP list

1) Fists
2) michaels
3) Womble
4) Galted*

*depending on future revelations.

I really don't think we can. It has rocked me to the core.

Surely the camera story helped build some bridges.

Yeah actually, that was pretty funny.

Depends if you took your m*n-bag with you when you went to collect the camera.

I genuinely don’t mind not being top but below a second rate Ray Mears who appears to be a borderline sociopath hurts.

Revelation #1 - when not buying burritos I do my lunch shopping at M&S as well as my potato, salad and camembert shopping.  I resent having to fork over 5p for a new bag and so use the same one which, after a while, becomes faded, torn, and stinks to high heaven.  One of the louder cashiers has taken to shouting at me when my bag has fallen below the standard acceptable to her and gives me a new one for free.  I estimate that, so far this year, I've saved about 15p.

I would have moved you up a level Galted if you hadn't completely arsed up the quote function on that post.

Edit: Too late pal, I saw what you'd done.

Its the m*n-bag Jeff. It has come between us.

I agree with your description of Galted but at least he doesn't have a m*n-bag.

Was actually the bold function that I arsed up. Well done on your quick spot and edit.

Hmmmm.

Yeah nice try.

Sort it out Galted.

Can't believe this thread is soon to hit 1,000 posts.......

Anyroad, Tino, I reckon you've shot yoursen in the foot by having michaels above Womble. Galted's latest carrier bag magnum opus would put him above the former but still below the latter, for me.

Galted has a bleeding rucksack and Hi Tec footwear, he is one step off being on a register.

Rowley wrote:Galted has a bleeding rucksack and Hi Tec footwear, he is one step off being on a register.

Neither of which should see him below michaels.

Potato, salad and Camembert. Can you elaborate?

Please see Jeff's last post on why Galted is going to struggle to get up the list.

You would have been very high following your excellent post t'other week but the fact you have a mustard coloured m*n-bag automatically disqualifies you.

There are very few things that should entail that.

It's not a "bleeding rucksack", Rowley, it is a Lowe Alpine ACE 30 (Black).

The very fact that you know the name of it should ensure you are below me for ever more.
