Comments on: Iceland’s long night http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2009/12/07/icelands-long-night/ A slice of lime in the soda Sun, 19 May 2013 20:32:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: TinyTim1 http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2009/12/07/icelands-long-night/comment-page-1/#comment-9680 TinyTim1 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 12:56:23 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2009/12/07/icelands-long-night/#comment-9680 Felix, I am sure you realise that what goes around comes around: long nights become long days. I vacationed in June: http://sunrisesunset.com/calendar.asp?comb_city_info=Reykjavik,%20Iceland;22;64;0;0&month=6&year=2010&time_type=0 21 hours of sunlight. We played footy until well past 11pm. Also, has anyone else noticed that this new Reuters format TOTALLY SUCKS. I had to recreate my identity and my screen name had to include both letters and numbers... WTF? Yeah - that makes sense. Way to rebrand pointlessly Reuters. Your pages take far longer to load too. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
