thanks!! was me!

Yo ice let's kick it

Ice ice land (x2)

All right stop bankrupt and wishin'
Iceland is pwnd with a brand new auction
Something grabs a hold of me FTSE
Down like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop yo I don't know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow

To the extreme I withdraw cash like a vandal
Light up an ATM and wax a teller like a candle
Bank go run to the doom that loom'
I'm loosin yo cash like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I watch david belamy
Anything less than the best is a felony

Take it or leave it you better gain interest
You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
I'm Gordon Brown here to revolve it
Ice ice land vanilla
Ice ice land (oh-oh) vanilla
Ice ice land vanilla
Ice ice land vanilla ice
Yo man let's get out of here
Word to your mother
Ice ice land too cold
Ice ice land too cold too cold (x2)
Ice ice land

Is Kerry Katona still 'bust' or did she manage to 'downsize' and save her 'assets'? .... Wondering whether there's any relationship between the 'Front' woman going Bankrupt, and taking Iceland with her.

GREAT scenery and wildlife but financial situation in need of repair - collect in person.

Iceland, which is going cap in hand to Russia for a €4 billion ($5.49 billion) loan to bail out its failed banks, was offered for sale as a wholesale lot on eBay on Friday.

Bidding started at 99 pence but had reached £10 million ($17.28 million) by mid-morning on Friday.

Globally renowned singer Bjork was "not included" in the sale, according to the notice, but there were nonetheless 26 anonymous bidders and 84 bids.

"Located in the mid-Atlantic ridge in the North Atlantic Ocean, Iceland will provide the winning bidder with - a habitable environment, Icelandic Horses and admittedly a somewhat sketchy financial situation," the notice read.

Bidders' questions included: "Do you offer volcano/earthquake insurance?", "Is it possible that my payment will be frozen?", and "Will you accept COD as a form of payment?"
