so had I, actually. HUMANITY RECIEVES A GRIM REMINDER

It's almost as if someone is intentionally reminding us of things we thought we'd managed to forget, like What Does the Fox say and Bieber ...

It would suck if he died of course. No idea what the news article means, but the guy in the picture looks annoyed so I guess it happens pretty often. Do people die at thingvellir and near the geysirs though?

He's the head of the rescue units and is probably very, very fed up with tourists in trouble... as for dying at Þingvellir, no one's died there recently (although if we look at the site as it is PLENTY of people have died there at one time or another) although one family did almost kill their 10-year old kid by telling him to jump in the ice cold water and then just laughing at him when he got a cold shock.

Usually people die by doing something remarkably stupid all on their own though and then the rescue units have to go try save them and risk their lives in process, not to mention they're all volunteers and have to pay their own equipment+gas.

We played (and won) a hockey game to get rid of him, maybe you could try the same?

Did it work? Icelanders don't really care about ice hockey, can it be handball instead?

That proves it, you have some dark sacrificing rituals going on there! :P

All in the name of Darwin!

Iiiii have nooooo idea of what you could be hinting at. :P

If you listen closely you may be able to hear the sound of teeth being ground to powder all the way to Iceland.

This is punishment for all the 'weird fish' jokes isn't it?

Tenth Doctor was (and is) mine, although I always have a soft spot for Nine because he sounded like he could be my next-door neighbour (Eccleston and I hail from the same part of the world)

Wholeheartedly agree! (Except Christopher Eccleston can't really be my neighbour - wouldn't be bad though...)

Sometimes I forget just how tiny Iceland is and then I'm suddenly reminded. Today Justin Bieber is apparently here because:

Bieber ordered a chicken sandwich - the staff member still in shock

Justin Bieber in Iceland: visited Lemon* in Reykjanesbæ

Bieber used a public toilet - heading towards the Golden Circle**

...and many, many other equally important headlines...

* a juice shop
** the big three -trip: the waterfall Gullfoss, Þingvellir and the Geysir area.

Really, Justin?  You traveled all the way to Iceland and bought a sandwich at a Subway? Really?!?  When you could have been trying all kinds of Icelandic delicacies?  (Hakarl, for example...)

Do not get me started on Doctor Who after David Tennant left... suffice it to say I don't think it's the same, and I'll leave it at that.

Nine was my first doctor, and I never fully recovered from his regeneration, to be honest.
I really like Ten, and he has one of the most best episodes ever ("Blink" <3), but somehow he never managed to replace Nine in my heart. :'(

(I know this is a delicate topic, but I like Moffat's era, for the most part)
