  • no thanks.
  • No.

    You do seem to be creating a few threads about this topic.

    Many of us are most concerned, but maybe we ought to wait for the dust to settle to see where we are, and what is going to happen to our money.

    Time for reflection for sure but silly actions such as this would have a very negative effect

    I'll turn up. If there's going to be a punch-up, I want to be there.

    Given that their whole country is going to the wall I doubt they're too concerned about what happens abroad. They're likely to be concentrating on processing fish as fast as possible to keep the Russian loansharks from the door.

    If you think my concerned posts are trolling then I am sorry.
    What do you want me to do? Stop posting? Ok fine.

    The scene - Björg!lfur and Þorgeir, two Icelandic diplomats, keeking out the window at a demonstration by about twenty middle aged chubby English people.

    Björg!lfur - hey, Þorgeir - look - upset English people! They do look angry. What do they want?

    Þorgeir - i think they want the Icelandic government to give them some money!

    Björg!lfur - but don't they know we're broke? Do they not read the news? I'm sure people have heard about what's happened!

    Þorgeir - Ja, but remember, the English are incurable optimists!

    Björg!lfur - Ha! Maybe we could give them some Icelandic kr!nur!

    Þorgeir - Oh, Björg!lfur! You and your characteristic Icelandic sense of humour!
