“That is ignorance and complete
nonsense. It’s just because Ice-
landers don’t know what we’re
all about and they don’t under-
stand the world that we live in.”
Magma Energy’s Ross Beaty has some
interesting things to say.
page 18:
This delightfully phallic drink-
ing receptacle is perfect for the
most gutter-minded traveller or
lover of impractical cup han-
dles. I could barely fit three of
my little girl fingers through the
handle, making it fairly difficult
to hold when empty. Just imag-
ine when full.
Rebecca Louder found y’all some crazy
tourist crap!
page 6:
“I’m not afraid of the buses” he
responded with a smile. “If the
city of Reykjavik doesn’t want
[to buy] the buses, they will

want to go green again.”
Gísli Gíslason wants to force Reykjavík to
go green.

Would you rock the boat, would
you print nasty things about the
owners? No, you would think
twice. You’ve got a mortgage
and kids in kindergarten. This
has simply always made life dif-
ficult for Icelandic journalists.

page 8:
It’s 4 degrees Celsius, the water
temperature is a nice 7.5. It’s a
lovely day for a swim in the sea.
Louise Petersson went for a cold, cold swim.

You may not like the dress code,
their noises, you may not like all
the fun they seem to be having
and you’re not sure you’d get
laid as an anarchist or that the
anarchists would like to lay you.
Haukur Már Helgason brings you Catastro-
phology.
