True that. They bought a load of ex-wollies shops. There's one down the road now. Brilliant! :tup:

OK, this is what the Icelandic laws are.....
"Children aged 12 and under may not be outdoors after 20:00 unless accompanied by an adult. Children aged 13 to 16 may not be outdoors after 22:00,
During the period 1 May to 1 September, children may be outdoors for two hours longer."

I reiterate.. bollocks. That law is comletely unenforced
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

About me: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate and wine in each hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

No no nazis and holocaust deniers deserve as such and the fact he has a whole bunch of nazi fuckwits hitching there fascist wagon to his makes it even worse.

What he is doing is an abuse of freedom of speech and a affront to all those who suffered during the holocaust.

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

I've just had a chat again. Basically, the law is enforced, but the kids don't give a fuck.
