Took this outside the Viking Ship Museum in Keflavik, notice the similarity with a certain member who professes he doesn't like sailing ships? The propensity for wearing silly helmets? Proof positive that Tim comes from a long line of seafarers, methinks :lol:

Hrrrrrrumph!
:smack::smack:
Come to think of it, that all proves NOTHING...………..
Silly helmet, YES
Scary bird of prey, YES
Propensity for wielding axes, YES
statue displayed OUTSIDE ship museum, not inside...……………..
Consider one :smack: withdrawn...…………...for now...………….
;)
Ooh, Tim, you know now the hunt is on for proof positive.

That's a bit o hoisting; petard not SAILS of course!:lol::lol::clap::clap::clap::clap:
Lol that is so you Tim
Must be his ancestor Helmut Bloodaxe.
That is such a great find Gunners. :lol:
Rob.
Maybe the ancestor insisted on shipping out with no sails; oars only!
Karl
Incredible similarity. :eek:
Definitely 2 peas in a pod. :slysmile:
I think this ancestor, while now rolling in his grave, is claiming, "No Oars"!Quote:

And who said Vikings explored Iceland on ships? I can imagine Tim flying a glider made of reindeer skins. Or may be he lost the competition with Leif Eriksson's ships so he doesn't like sails? :confused:

Seagull, seagull... that's no Seagull, that's a rare Norwegian Blue purchased from a local vendor not one half hour before sitting for the sculpture.Quote:

Presumably the one Tim (err, I mean Floki) is holding is the lucky third one. Hrafna-Floki means Raven Floki, a name given to him after this particular saga. Either that, or they thought he was stark raven mad to try it in the first place. :DQuote:

Maybe we could arrange a boating outing for Tim as part of his Lend-Lease Experience, as long as there are NO SAILS involved...;)
That statue is an amazing likeness:sAprvd:
All the best,

Suppose you only check them out if you are a bit peckish:eek:
Well there is certainly enough corn here to feed them.
I only knew about two frozen item from them. Stormy Petrel on a stick and Albatross.
Rob.
Isn’t Stormy Petrel the bird Donald Trump was (or wasn’t) involved with?Quote:
