A very very low key entry into 2010 in Iceland - some nice pictures around the country, some music and a slow fade from a large 2009 into 2010.

RTPi more hopeless than normal - a couple of years ago they went to madeira for the fireworks, but stayed in the studio this year.

Edit - pics added from Sjonvarpid web stream

Great footage of the fireworks on Vesti / Rossija 24 (and I think the same feed on Sky News International 19e).


:mad: No thanks to the idiots at BBC World News who can't even show the fireworks in their own country... :mad:

Yeah, I'm very surprised, that BBC World News doesn't show it's own country's fireworks, because it's fabulous every year. 2 years ago I and my friends were very disappointed, because we were at house, where only BBC World News from cable was available. And it was showing some news from Iran or Afghanistan. Well, I know it's important, but god damnit, It's New year on United Kingdom. People wanna see fireworks from London. And the wierdest part of all that is, that BBC World News were showing other fireworks (from Auckland today), and even Live... Well, not from UK... :(

Yes, it is worrying, the BBC seems to have too many nutters on the staff these days. :(


Vesti / Rossija 24 even stayed for "auld lang syne" after all the fireworks had stopped.

Happy New Year gang - Im going to watch the telly for a bit then crash out.

Hope you have enjoyed it again this year. Ive lost count of how many we have seen - it seems a very long time since Auckland!

I'll stick some more pics up tomorrow - Ive got dozens of pics to go through!

Over and out from a very snowy Galashiels - and it was snowing AGAIN when we went outside just after midnight :(

Clear skies & good reception through 2010!

I was offered the information yesterday, and thought nothing about it until later this evening about the same rumour.

Very odd.
