    I thought my question earlier "how much can Iceland afford"? was quite relevant. No-one blames the good people of Iceland, without a doubt it was the greedy bankers.

    By the way Iceland won the 1975 Cod War, I still remember the great fooed fight re enactment we did one school dinner time - and we all got detention! It was funny going to the port in Reykjavik and having some old naval commander laugh at the NATO forces defeat and the 200 mile "exclusion zone".

    Maybe I'm too old, or maybe I know a clown when I see one (Bazini are you listening?)

    <yikes>

    So why is there so much bother over what the Icelandic people are voting?

    Surely they should be bailing out their own banks, at least more so than us!!!!!!

    Except you could lay the blame on greedy british politicians ,bankers and investors chasing unlikely interest rates that would have scared any sane person off!

    Great idea - this place sounds ideal http://www.visitakureyri.is/accommodation/outside-akureyri/nr/14852.

    We could sit and watch the volcano erupting whilst wondering how the heck we're going to get home <laugh>

    Bolton - that looks great.

    Two concerns though - 1) will Ak please guarantee that he will switch on the Northern Lights and 2) I am nervous about that swimming pool - knowing Icelanders, Russians, Swedes, Finns and dare I say it Norwegians - it is likely that it is outdoor and 3º

    Ó, guð vors lands! Ó, land vors guðs,
    vér lofum þitt heilaga, heilaga nafn,
    úr sólkerfum himnanna hnýta þér krans
    þínir herskarar, tímanna safn.
    Fyrir þér er einn dagur sem þúsund ár
    og þúsund ár dagur, ei meir:
    eitt eilífðar smáblóm með titrandi tár,
    sem tilbiður guð sinn og deyr.
    Íslands þúsund ár,
    eitt eilífðar smáblóm með titrandi tár,
    sem tilbiður guð sinn og deyr.
