    I have done a few when I lived in Reykjavik, none since I moved to the west fjords. The problem is 3G access usually, or there just being no geocaches were we are. We have no car, so can'f really start any of our own, but there is a great one above the town that we got when we first moved here.
    It's a lot of fun, especially if you get to pass an object along another line!

    I read it on audiobook a few months ago and thought it was pretty good. I know it was written as a tv show and then never got green lit or something, so they released it as a book. Don't know if they are still going ahead with it in film form though?

    I think it definitely has potential. Happy

    Seabear, an Icelandic band, very good music. http://www.last.fm/music/Seabear

    Sigur Rós, means Victory Rose, their music and lyrics invoke an otherworldly feeling, like creeping through the elf infested countryside ;) I love them.

    I read that about the human hair! It's such a clever idea. Sadly I just had mine all cut off! But I am sure they could manage to gather a lot if they advertise it well.

    It's a tragic accident this spill, I really hope they manage to plug the leak soon. It will have terrible consequences for the area and the animals there Happy

    My friend just reminded me of another Icelandic word I love the sound of
    -hiksti

    It means hiccups hehe

    It's pronounced like it looks hick-stee but said quickly. emphasis on the 'ck'

    The problem with humans in general is we tend to dislike anything that's different. So you have the disgusting racism towards people of a different colour, who are "obviously" different to white people. Then the differences get sliced thinner and thinner, until it's religion/hair colour/football team and clothing and it's all offensive if you are the offended party.

    I am white and Irish and had plenty of crap thrown my way, mostly by English people. Of course they laugh all the slagging off, sure we're all best buds right? But still, I know plenty more NICE and good English people then I do bad ones. Unfortunately the bad people are usually the ones who are the loudest voices.

    Also, for the record, I have never heard an Irish person say "top of the morning", so... just so you know ;D I have actually had someone say that to me, thinking he was hilarious!

    Sorry to hear it's getting worse. What helped mine when I was in my late teens early twenties, was going on birth control. I started out on dianette.
    Other than that I don't know. It's all hormone related, so although drinking lots of water and having a healthy diet is good for you, I'm not sure if it makes much difference with acne.
