Sharing stories of melting: Jokers help rescue Iceland

This sense of deep disgust in Iceland, when the country was the glass coffin to a banking crisis which some joke that set in December 2009 to mock the political establishment led to high office WAS elected.


The best part, promised not to observe the electoral promises, but found the largest party in local elections held in Reykjavik capital.


Among those elected was Einar Benediktsson Minsk, former trumpet player with two of Iceland's largest musical exports – and the Sugarcubes, Bjork, who today is President of culture and tourism to the Council of the city of Reykjavik.


Mr Benediktsson remarked that the Irish general election appeared to be a rather staid affair compared with the riots happened in Iceland.


"Going by the posters, there does not seem to be any ongoing innovation," said although he did not see an Ireland country to its knees.


Is a group of Icelandic people – led by the Mayor of Reykjavik and founder of the party's best Jón Gnarr Kristinsson, – in Dublin this weekend to talk about mutual experience of economic collapse and that each country can benefit from the experience of the other.


Mr Gnarr, as is known, was a stand-up comedian in Iceland before getting himself elected last year.


Believes that the current commitment of Icelandic Government is not Left enough credit for addressing country-2008 collapse and the country had no choice but to take radical options.


"Many people assume. As I understand it, we're the only country worldwide who handled the matter in this way, "he said.


Mr Gnarr observed that not only were Iceland and Ireland are two small countries, but the world is a small part as Lord Mayor of Dublin Gerry Breen's brother, Fr Patrick Breen, is in the general population of the tiny Catholic Vicar of Iceland and lives in Rekyjavik.


Gerry Breen, who could be a TD until the end of today, said the tired old joke about the difference between Ireland and Iceland is a letter and six months was wrong, because what happened in Iceland took two years to occur in Ireland.


The northern lights Observatory, first indent, "Ireland: Iceland project", this is all weekend. There will be an event tomorrow at 1 p.m. at City Hall where the public will be invited to talk about the relationship between the two countries.
