Time for a holiday in Iceland?

[SueEllen]

I've met a few Icelanders over the years, and I can safely say that they are all very nice people until they have a drink.

Without fail they turn into psychopathic lunatics who will attempt things like

• Charge at a car that is driving at them.
• Hop over the live rail in tube stations.
• Pick up a policeman and carry him across the road.

I'd love to visit the country but I doubt I'll live to tell the tale.

Your all right they only drink on weekends.

If you drink in the week then you are an alcoholic.

Oh and it doesn't matter what day of the week it is, if a traffic warder tickets a car the traffic warden gets beaten up. (And they can't park.)

Do they have tube stations in Iceland? Or do they come specially to London to do it?

I suppose the picking up policemen lark is kinder than trying to kick the shiite out of them that any self respecting Brit binge drinker would attempt.

The National Council for Voluntary Organisations estimates that British charities have over £120 million at risk. One charity, Cats Protection had £11.2 million of deposits in one of Kaupthing's British units.

Cats!!! WTF

I disagree. If you've got energy you can do anything and things can never get totally screwed.

I'd like to see them export a bucket of steam.
