I once flew through Reykjavik at 5am with my wife. It was a surreal experience. We still laugh about it. There was an unattended bottle of Islandic spirits out for sampling in front of the closed duty free, and we needed it after the strangest passport control either of have ever been thrtough.
lol my flight got diverted because of a medical emergency and they landed us in reykjavik in the middle of the night and deplaned us and sent us through passport control and then the crew vanished and then british airways sent us links to book an overnight hotel room but for a hotel at heathrow

Watching the Raygun documentary on Netflix, it's basically the Wil Ferrall Eurovision movie, if they were Australian break dancers instead of Islandic pop singers.

Well, IMHO the islandic referendum has been far more informed and honest than the British one for Brexit.
And the negative answer has absolutely no economic consequence for the Icelanders.
So no crime here.
It seems that the situation is the best possible…

Quite a pitty, but Europe has to accept the decision of the Islandic people.
The fact that Icelanders are not even curious to hear what's on offer is deeply troubling.

I think technically that would be moving to Scotland or Ireland anyway, or maybe Wales ( another thing my...childrens books...get confused with, it closer to Islandic Belgian ).
I want say what that research was, because ....comparison to some other dark fantasy unreleased game.

That's the thing - I don't think any of those are lesser. I listen to Islandic bands without knowing the language, bands where vocals are just an instrument, and I also enjoy the stories, so I listen to rap/hip hop, too. And all sorts of mix/in between stuff. I really like the sound of human voices
