Iceland is nearly bankrupt and they are going to be fast tracked into the EU. It is said that Iceland has the most beautiful women in the world. This depends whether you like leggy blondes or not. But let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and welcome them with open arms. The chances are that once they are in the EU they will all be over here. Easy on the eye they may be but be careful because they can drink you under the table.
ICELANDIC MAIDEN IN THE PUB: • I am feeling sad.
PLUMBER: • Oh, why's that?
• Somewhere there is an iceberg, nine tenths of it is below the surface you know.
• Yes, I heard.
• Only global warming is melting the iceberg and the polar bear doesn’t see this. Very soon it will be too late and the polar bear will be homeless.
• I'm gutted.
• Soon he will be at your shores seeking sanctuary.
• Why here? Why not Norway?
• Too cold.
• What, for a Polar bear?
• He is adapting. He has lost his iceberg soon he won’t need such a thick coat. He is evolving you know like Darwin? He was an Englishman I think. Like you.
• Yes but not as good looking. He was a lot closer to the ape than me. That is what gave him the clue. He caught sight of himself in the mirror.
• You English, always you make the joke, but this polar bear is very angry with you.
• Not my fault. I'm a plumber. I help cut pollution I'm one of the good guys. I fit condensing boilers.
• What is this, consensing, how you say?
• Condensing boilers.
• Yes what is this thing?
• It's a bit difficult to explain. Sedbuk Band A.
• What language is this? Please, I know only English. Explain please.
• It is very difficult.
I’’ tell you what. I just happen to have one at my place. If you fancy coming back and having a look at it.
• You are very kind. My mother she would like you. |
