Bob i didnt realise you were such a philistine.......the 2 cold war chess masters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Guys it is really a myth on the drinks prices - depending when and where you drink downtown in 101 Reykjavik you are paying about $3-60 to $4-00 per 1/2 litre of 5% rocket fuel the local larger and indeed the micro brewery stuff is excellent.

Yes left the UK two years ago to move here - just getting gun permits and stuff finally sorted etc.

Ahh leave the guys alone they are still coming to terms with this introduction of Nitro Powders - probably all confusing for them

pppffffffff...... If I make it to Iceland, and wifey and I hunt Santa's convoy, last thing on my mind will be the price of the boose. Hell, I paid 100000 kwacha (or somewhere close to that) for a Mosi, and I spent a lot of kwacha...:draught::draught::draught::draught::draught::draught::draught::draught::draught::draught:

BTW, welcome again to the forum, started talking about alcohol again, DAMNIT.

Yeah just before Christmas I was speaking with the local Pilot instructor - wanted to borrow my .308 to use down the airport !!!!!

That sent alarm bells ringing however ...............................

When I asked why he said Santa was re-certifying for his pilots licence for the sleigh ................

and he was going to lose one engine on takeoff !

Spike.t, I only seem ancient because I was born so young. If I remember right it was a world semifinal. The Fisher v Spassky winner in Reykjavik faced the Vespasian v Domitian winner in the colosseum. The winner got to move to Jersey and retire!

Odinsraven, You are impressive as a new member. You made a second page. I think I only got a hello from Jerome.

Wheels, it is impressive, but, Jerome replies to a lot of the new members (that I have noticed anyway)... We started talking alcohol, Odinsraven is there grey goose there in Iceland???? You mentioned microbrews....

 

[Odinsraven]

Reykjavik Vodka - that beats Grey Goose - however if you are speaking about Greylag then

Birds of Iceland: Anser anser, Greylag Goose

However back to booze

Beers - about 20 of them most range from 4.0 to somewhere around 12% it all got fuzzy when we started @ bottom of the scale and worked up

However as beer was banned here until 1989 - the locals are making up for lost time !

Tax it is a moral thing - " it is immoral of the government to steal our money "

its ok now scott they have removed three zeroes from the currency, so now the 50,000 kwacha notes are 50 and so on, but the old notes are still used as well!!. finn isnt happy as he used to think it was great telling his mates it cost over a million to fill up the vehicle!!!

odinsraven so they only let them have beer after 1989, but probably let them drink local rocket fuel up to then!!:eyecrazy:that 12percnt beer sounds lethal.......

Its getting harder to hide your hard earned money in the world. The Russians just found that out in Cyprus.

I don't have that problem because you have to have money to hide it. That's why I like to go to Africa. It's not the hunting. I walk out of the forex shops in the Dar airport a millionaire. I miss the Zim dollars. It is a very small chance that I will ever be a centa trillionaire again!
