So, they need personnel on Iceland, but the prices are giong up and the wages are not? Doesnt sound that good... Youll get a job, but you have to spend all your money on groceries... Tongue

no,no ,that's not a fake or something like that.they don't make the grass like that, it's growing like that.in a country, where the bells are ringing if it doesn't rain, grass like that is a simple exercise.

in deed , have to go now and hurry up, cause....
Marches to protest the Krahnjkavirkjun dam project in east Iceland are planned at 8 pm this evening in various locations throughout Iceland, including Reykjavk, Akureyri and safjrdur. Water will be released into Hlsaln, the reservoir used to feed the dam, this week, eventually flooding a large section of land. This is reported by the main online media.
One of Icelands main environmental crusaders, television personality mar Ragnarsson, published a supplement in Sundays Morgunbladid in which he urged for the controversial Krahnjkavirkjun project to be abandoned. He introduced an alternate plan, in which the aluminum smelter in Reydarfjrdur, which is the recipient of the power being harnessed by the dam, be put on hold for five years, and a geothermal region in northeast Iceland be harnessed instead to provide the required energy. That would save the region submerged by the reservoir and serve to reconcile the factions for and against the project. 
The aforementioned marches are being organized by different environmental groups. The Reykjavk march, which departs from Hlemmur bus terminal, will end in a rally at Austurvllur square, where a number of prominent Icelanders will address the gathering.
see you later.....

The Darkside of the Earth.......

Cloud cover blocked the stars yesterday evening as Reykjavks streetlights were turned off in order to enable city residents to have a better view of the sky. In other respects the darkening of Reykjavk went well. The lights were shut off at 10pm sharp in connection with the opening of the Reykjavk International Film Festival, and were turned back on half an hour later. This is reported in all the main media.

Reykjavk residents flocked into the streets to take part in the experience. Yet a slight sense of disappointment prevailed as a result of the cloud cover and also as there was still light visible even with the absence of streetlights. Businesses did not shut off their lights and there was a great deal of traffic on main roads and in the downtown area. Some sports arenas also failed to turn off their floodlights.

Foreign media showed considerable interest in the initiative, including the Washington Post in the US and Aftonbladed in Norway.

just to share with you, how exciting Reykjavik is, i want to let you know a headliner of todays paper...
 
Fire fighters rescue parrot

Sesselja, an Ara Macao parrot, escaped from its owner and got stuck in a tree in Reykjavk last night. Fire fighters rushed to the scene.

The parrot flew away from its owner, Agatha Agnarsdttir, when she was carrying the bird outside to its cage. It got stuck in a tree on the other side of the road. Frttabladid reports.

Agnarsdttir called the Reykjavk fire department and shortly afterwards a fire truck arrived at the scene. The bird was stuck because of the dense vegetation and the fire fighters had to use a crane to recover it.

The bird had become soaking wet in the pouring rain and, according to Agnarsdttir, might have caught pneumonia had it not been for the fire fighters swift rescue. Needless to say, she was relieved at being reunited with her beloved parrot.

Ok, in NY or LA several persons were killed, nobody takes notice of it, in Bagdad dozens of people were killed by another car-bomb assault, only a small notice in the paper but a kakadu cut off and the FDR had the most eventfull night since the crash of two pedestrians in a foggy winter-night of 1994 !!
I will hope that no more disaster will disturb the stand-by duty of Icelands fire fighters.

Why are Icelanders buying companies here in the DK. Is that some kind of shrewd revenge for the old days?
 
Also, do you know how many Icelanders there are here in Denmark?

Although i didn't grew up on iceland, i learned in past years much about the deep relationship between icelanders and their former dominators from denmark. I think there is a quiet ambivalent attitude towards the danish in this country.Among the elder Icelanders you will find many with not so good feelings.
There are a lot of Icelanders in Denmark,who left their country to make space for others from all over the world. 
No, to be serious, this movement stopped in the last years, cause the economic situation on iceland developed magnificent.

You have a letter we lack - the soft "D" - a "TH" like sound. I wonder how we lost that, but you kept it?
 
I mean, we use the sound, but we write it as a ordinary "D", confusing foreign peopleDead

Christmas tree collection begins in Reykjavik

Employees of the City of Reykjavk yesterday began collecting the Christmas trees that people had left on street corners. The trees will be used for compost.

Kristjn Helgason, information officer at the City of Reykjavk, believes the Christmas trees that will be collected throughout the week will weigh 80 tons in total. Frttabladid reports.

Seventy-four tons of Christmas trees were collected last year, and the year before, 70 tons. This year, Christmas trees were sold out on December 23.

After the trees have been collected they are shredded and turned into compost. The compost is sold to garden owners as fertile earth.

Helgason reminded people that Christmas trees have to be visible so the employees of the City can pick them up, without being a hindrance to passers-by.

And how do you dispose your waste ?

For Northman's eyes only......

Iceland and Denmark to develop defense cooperation

Icelandic and Danish officials met in Reykjavk yesterday to discuss increased cooperation on defense between the two nations. At the meeting it became clear that both parties are willing to further develop defense cooperation.

Yesterdays meeting was the second in which Iceland and Denmark laid out plans on how the two nations could further cooperate on defense. The first meeting was held in Copenhagen shortly before Christmas. Morgunbladid reports.

According to Grtar Mr Sigurdsson, director of Icelands Foreign Ministry, Iceland and Denmark also discussed the secure zone at Keflavk airport and reviewed its facilities.

Sigurdsson said Iceland and Denmark would continue defense discussion at future meetings.

Can you imagine, Northman ?  U v H and Northman alongside against the baltic usurpators !!!

Oh yes indeed - lets have more defence.
Armed to the teeth with your sharp tongue, you could sit on the top of Hekla and wait for the invading hordes of inuits attacking from Greenland in kayaks and I would sit on the top of the Great Belt Bridge, throwing old laptops after any ship not wearing Danish colors.
 
May I suggest another scenario...
In my opinion we could promote a new UN-resolution instead.
All future wars should be carried out as huge pillowfights. The only casualties would be those who died from laughing too hard or feather allergy.
May they rest in peace. Smile
