Meanwhile in Iceland:
Björgunarsveitinn (voluntary rescue units, highly trained professionals who answer almost any emergency call from people lost on glaciers to people swept out at sea to lesser problems such as helping out when it snows so much everything gets stuck)(and yes, they're voluntary workers meaning that they'll jump into action at any time of the day, at their own expense, won't be paid a penny for their troubles)
is looking for four riders and fifty horses.
I did a total double-take when I read that headline, but there was a logical explanation to how someone can lose 50 horses: the riders were rounding up horses on some faraway meadow and then got lost on their way over the heath in thick fog. They're still lost, have spent the night on the heath and the problem with finding them is that the visibility in the fog is currently 10m and their phones don't work.
Btw "blind þoka" (= blind fog) is really scary. I was once in some on - heh - Esjan, it looks like this:
As another double-take title from this morning,
some British kid made an attempt at credit card fraud, that's the best I can say about how it went. He ordered two iphones and a laptop, all three from the same small store, paid each one with a different credit card and wanted them delivered to his hotel... like, kid, have you any idea what
really stands out in a small country?
If the above wasn't silly enough, one of his credit cards was registered in Kuala Lumpur...
EDIT: on sadder news,
a missing man has been found, dead. Problem? No one knows who he is, or that he was missing in the first place. Guest houses are being asked to check their registers starting from October 2014.
