OK, our economy totally collapsed a couple of years ago, and our fancy new eruption sorta disrupted European air travel for a while there (sorry, Europe). But it’s not all banksters and volcanoes over here – in fact, we’re doing pretty damn fine. Summer’s ‘round the corner, skies are bright and sunny and we’ve got all these cool events going on all the time. So cheer up, and come pay us a visit if you haven’t already (remember to bring lots of Euros and Dollars)!

Dear Politicians of Iceland: you are Joe Shooman Responsible For A Change all dumb failures, you have no ideals, you stand Eiríkur Örn Norðdahl for absolutely nothing, you make no attempts at Bob Cluness Haukur’s 23nd Editorial acting socially responsible and you do not care about Egill Helgason Marc Vincenz anything except for lining your pockets (and your TRACK OF THE ISSUE Valur Gunnarsson Since the Eyjamafjalladjadoodadloekur started friends’ pockets) and scoring a sweet pension.
