re: Iceland - Late March
Posted by Nigel Farage on 10/3/25 at 9:14 am to lsutiger_2002
I just got back from Iceland about 2 weeks ago, stayed in Reykjavik a total of 3 days so here are my thoughts. You will likely be landing in the morning and if that is the case for the first day I would recommend the Icelandic Food Tour. It is the highest rated tour in Iceland and is a great way to get an introduction to the culinary scene. I was able to try to fermented shark on this tour (its disgusting) without having to buy it separately.
I also stayed near the rainbow road, Cafe Loki (which was a part of this tour) was a great place to eat. Just know that the average meal while eating out will normally between $40-$50. My one nice meal I had was at Grillmarkaðurinn. I had puffin, a whale steak and a normal steak here. The puffin was really good and the whale tasted like a seafood steak. I would recommend buying sandwiches for lunch to save money.
Make sure you do the Golden Circle one day, Gullfoss Waterfall, Kerið Crater, Geyser and other natural wonders are on it. The tour I did had a final stop on the Blue Lagoon for this day which was a great way to unwind from a long day of travel and hiking. I also did the Icelandic History museum to learn more about the country.
I think if you plan on 2 days in Reykjavik and the others outside of the city you will have an excellent trip. Everyone there speaks English and were very welcoming but there is a bit of that nordic temperament about the locals that didn't lend to random conversations like you would with Irish or British People.

I've been telling the money board that this is a company worth investing in for a few months now. They have the rights to the Thacker Pass mine in Nevada which some are saying is the largest lithium deposit in the world.

My dream is to comfortably retire my parents. My dad just turned 68 this year and is still working, mom is turning 63 in October. After having them pay for all my shite including tuition to LSU among other things, its the one thing I wish I could do for them. Unfortunately unless I win the Powerball or have millions of dollars fall into my lap, that isn't happening anytime soon.

People have made comments about how far we are behind in drone warfare because of what has been seen with Russia/Ukraine.
We had bad arse drones during the Iraq war that were being controlled by people in Florida and could fire missiles and such. No telling what all we have now, but I’m sure it’s much more advanced than most people realize.
The drones that we are sending to Ukraine is also just the tech that we are willing to export. As far as world wide drone sales are concerned, we are way behind other nations like Turkey. The Fiber Optic drones have obviously been a step up from the wireless drones we saw in the first two years of the war. But again this is just the stuff that we are willing to export and are ok with them being reverse engineered. There is no telling what our true drone capabilities really are unless we get into a peer to peer conflict.

I actually went to Nice with my family back in Dec for Christmas. We didn't rent a car and opted to use rideshare services and public transit during our stay. A small car is definitely the way to go, particularly is your are planning on visiting some of the smaller villages off the coast. You will need to pack accordingly because depending on how many suitcases you bring, space could be limited in that vehicle. Especially if you are traveling with a bunch of women :lol:.
Like other users have said, being able to follow the road signs and be mindful of your speed will be the biggest challenge you face. The tours that we went on picked us up in some 9 seater vans and they were able to navigate these medieval roads just fine so you should be able to as well.
As an aside, make sure to hit Eze which is between Nice and Monaco right on the coast. Quaint and beautiful village that my family and I loved. Also make sure you do get off the coast and go up into the mountains, if you get high enough you can see the bend of Italy on your lefthand side and Corsica in the distance, its something else. We really enjoyed Antibes which is between Nice and Cannes too.

re: Checking a Bag with a Connection on a Different International Air Carrier

So I live in Nashville and we currently have direct flights to Reykjavik so I figured this would be as good of a time as any to visit. Initially I was just planning on doing Iceland and Ireland, but flight from Nashville->Reykjavik->London was about $250 cheaper than going to Dublin from Reykjavik. I cashed in some skymiles for the return flight from Dublin so it only cost me about $45.
After reading the responses in this thread and mulling my options over I ended up deciding to just do a day and a half in London before flying out to Dublin. I figure a day and a half in London would beat the hell out of a day spent entirely in airports and having to go through the baggage issue I started this thread about previously. I visited London and the UK about 14 years ago so I'm curious to see how much has changed since I last visited.

Checking a Bag with a Connection on a Different International Air Carrier
Posted by Nigel Farage on 8/4/25 at 10:44 am
Good Morning Travel Board,
I am going to Iceland and Ireland next month. I will be flying out of Reykjavik into London Heathrow Airport before I take another flight to Belfast. My flight from Reykjavik to London will be on Iceland Air and then the flight to Belfast will more than likely be British Airways (haven't booked this ticket just yet).
I plan to check one bag and carry my other one on. My question is once I get to Heathrow, would I need to go through customs and go claim the checked bag in the baggage terminal before rechecking it with British Airways or is there a way to avoid this and instead have the airport somehow transfer this to my next flight. I plan to give myself about 4 hours from touchdown to wheels up to be able to do this while also giving myself some breathing room incase there are any sort of delays. Has anyone else had any experience doing this? What are your recommendations, thanks!

Do all the people responding to this not remember the numerous health issues he's had since (before) he took the job? Guy has blood clots, lost toes, and had to take a leave of absence earlier in the year. Maybe, just maybe, it's more serious than "Deion is scared of coaching without Travis Hunter and Shedeur."
Everyone here is going to look like a major jackass when he announces he has cancer tomorrow. That’s what the Colorado rumor mill is saying. Regardless of how you feel about him as a coach, making jokes about his health is classless as shite.

It’s a strange story. She comes from a really wealthy family. Tuition to the boarding school she attended is $80k/yr, and now she’s living in a house some baw built himself.
That’s probably why she likes him because he’s so different from anything else she’s dealt with in her life. Think about it, most men she has dealt with have more than likely been snobby assholes who have had their lives handed to them. They are all full of shite and snakes like most other people who come from that walk of life. Along comes this baw who comes from humble roots and has had to earn his keep in this world. He more than likely treats most everyone with respect instead of contempt, has an extremely strong work ethic and is such a far departure from the life that she knows that he is something she has never really met before. You think any of those rich assholes have ever cooked her a meal before? Much less a Cajun meal, hell I’d be surprised if most could cook at all. I hope they have a happy and long marriage
re: Afghanistan is trying to attract American tourists

If Afghanistan really wants to market to American tourists, they should advertise all of the leftover American weaponry that we could come shoot and blow up. I’m sure there’s a few baws out there itching to drive an Abrams or launch a javelin at a burnt out car. I know I would, Islamic fanaticism aside.
re: How to manage/understand credit scores
Posted by Nigel Farage on 7/9/25 at 9:33 am to thunderbird1100
quote:
They say keeping it 10% or under is needed for the best score in utilization. So if you only have like 1 card open with a $20k limit and you spend $5k a month, you should open more cards even if you dont really use them.
Interesting, this is the boat I am in as my credit score has been stuck at 825 for the better part of 6 months. I put all of my expenses I can on one credit card and pay it all off at the end of the month. Typically this runs around 3k and I have $23,200 in available credit which would put my utilization around 12.9% every month.
So if I open another credit card with an additional 5k in available credit that would bring my total utilization down to 10.6% thereby raising my score? Doesn't opening a new credit card reduce your score due to the hard credit check that comes with it?

While I philosophically disagree with this aspect of the bill, sports gambling has jumped the shark so fricking bad I’m ok with it.
The thing that made me realize sports gambling was out of control is when I bought some new hats on fanatics a few months ago. As a part of the checkout process they “invited” me to sign up for whatever their stupid gambling platform is and get a matching contribution equal to my purchase price. I thought to myself how this shite is so common, how many kids see promotions like this and want to sign up and the entire culture glorifying sports gambling. Every single pregame sports show on TV these days has the lines and gambling promo codes, it’s sickening.
I personally think sports gambling is going to have a major reckoning soon. We already have players getting banned for betting and throwing games, only a matter of time till we get a coach or ref implicated and we get a real scandal. I can’t wait, I hope draftkings, fanduel and every other online gambling platform gets forced to shut down.

The agency set up a secret explosive drone base inside Iran prior to the attack. Once the strikes started, the drones were activated to destroy surface-to-surface missiles that Israel said posed a threat to its civilians.
Between this and the recent Ukrainian air base operation, infiltration tactics seem to be the next phase of drone warfare. Militaries around the world are taking note and shitting bricks about the possibility of one of these operations targeting their assets right under their very noses.

Seoul's military has said the Choe Hyon could have been developed with Russian help, possibly in exchange for Pyongyang deploying thousands of troops to help Moscow fight Ukraine.
If there is one things the Russians have always been known for, it’s their naval prowess. Did North Korea take a look at how well the Admiral Kuznestov has been doing in Russian dry dock and decide they were a good partner? Or maybe it was how well the Moscow did for 12 hours after the Ukies hit it before joining the rest of the Black Sea fleet at the bottom of the ocean. I for one am shocked that a proud naval power like Russia would design a ship that immediately flips once it leave the shipyard.
re: inspired by AI thread - did you cheat in college?
Posted by Nigel Farage on 5/14/25 at 11:01 am to CAD703X
Ill be honest here, there were a few classes that I absolutely cheated my arse off in. As I got more into my major this became less possible but with some of the freshman/intro classes I took this was much more possible.
I was at a pledge brothers wedding last weekend who was a party to my cheating scheme. Myself, him, his now wife and a random friend of his from Houston were all in an intro Geology class together. The four of us got together the week before finals to plan how we would study for this exam and by this point we knew the final was gonna be 4 answer multiple choice questions.
We broke up our material for the final into 4 parts and each one of us memorized the material we each decided to study. When the test came, we tapped our pencil on the paper to indicate the answer we thought it was. One tap for Answer A, two taps for B, so on and so forth. We each naturally changed a few answers on each paper so it wouldn't look to suspicious. I think I ended up with a 93 on that final which was the lowest grade, the other 3 had like 95+.
We actually didn't even really need to cheat as we genuinely liked the material and all went to class which was rare for me my 1st year. It was more so used for the stuff we didn't know.
Anyone who took tests/finals in the math lab at LSU and was there at any point from 2011-2016 likely knew about the trick of presubmitting a test and being able to see your current score. You could then go back into the test and change the answers you were iffy on and see how those changes affected the score. I was glad I was done with my math credits by the time they figured this loophole out.
