        Lets hope they don't let off too much steam in their celebrations.

        Our Airport's only just re-opened again.

        I really liked the Lullaby, I can listen to that sort of music all day, although I was taken by the typical song as that sounded like an entry for the Eurovision Song Contest.:D

        Iceland National Day:scratch: Does that mean their banks are going to pay back the money they owe to UK investors:D:stirpot:

          I think that slide was 200x magnification, you can make out the green tinge of the Olivine Glass.
          Collected from a clean container that was covered in volcanic dust in half an hour last year.

          Iceland is more "famous" than other European Countries regarding the bank crisis, because its interest rates were higher than other Countries and there was therefore more money put in its banking system from foreigners, so more money is involved so to speak.
          But other than that it would be no different.

          Many Icelanders have lost the savings of a lifetime as well as everybody else abroad and they are in the same boat...

          Repayments are slowly taking place within Iceland and towards foreign investors, anyway.
