    Re: Iceland is ****ed.

    Iceland's cheap labour force, the Poles and Lithuanians, have left already - there's little point in sending home such a worthless currency, and the tourist season is over. Iceland is on its own.
    Like rats leaving a sinking ship. I wonder if the mexicans are doing that here. Well, in any case, it'll leave open those jobs people could do to weather the storm.

      I've been thinking about getting a bank account with Kaupþing for a little while now. Sounds like I should do it as soon as possible!

          I remember reading something a little while back about the FL Group/Stoðir going under, I think they owned IcelandAir amongst many other businesses. There's a few articles referenced on Stoðir's Wikipedia entry about their financial difficulties, although I doubt any of them make for fascinating bedtime reading. :)

          It wasn't so long ago that products from banks like Kaupþing Edge were being touted in British newspapers as the way to go. Not that I have any relevant financial qualifications, but I'm surprised at how quickly everything's taken a turn for the worse.

          IMO, Magnús should release some more LazyTown DVDs sharpish - that's bound to bring some more money into the country! I think a journo once joked in an article that he was worth more to his country's GDP than fish, lol.

                    Re: Iceland is ****ed.

                    Don't appreciate the smart ass remarks from you guys, or the title of this topic. Thank God there are some people left in this world that are caring and considrate of thier fellow friends around the globe, me being one of them. Take a little more thought about what you post before you post it. If someone from Iceland decided to check out getlazy Im sure it would really welcome them by seeing this post. I love getlazy and so do many others but some of this sh$t has to go.
                    It would be different if you had posted this topic with the right intentions, but of course everyone has thier right to an opinion so since youve stated yours Xixer, let me state mine. The Icelandic people are the most poetic, literate, artistic, ethical, talented, charming, people in the world ect. Id be here all night lol listing them all. Im sure that they will rise above this and move on. And yes there's is a small country, but the size of your country makes it no less more valuable than any other country. I am an artist and I have searched Iceland's art and culture many times and it is just breathtaking, unlike any other in the world. Im sure that they will pull together like the close knit communities that they are and rise above this, my prayers and Love go out to them.
                    By the way, I hear that alot of them also speak many different languages and if I was Icelandic, well, Id tell you where you could put some of your posts in every language I knew.
