If you had to chosen another nationality what would it be & why?

I'm Irish but if I had to chose another nationality I think I'd like to be Icelandic.

Nice country, straightforward, hardworking people, fairly liberal in terms of same sex marraige, free modern society etc.

Oh ya and the soccer team is a pretty cool one to support!

Probably Dutch. They're a bit of craic but get **** done at the same time.

So much wrong with this!

Eskimos, as they prefer to be known, do not keep penguins as pets. They use them as fuel due to their high combustibility.

In fact 9/10 igloos being burned down are due to penguin fires being left unattended.

I'm not an Eskimo with easy access to herds of penguins. By all the accounts I read by people called Nanuck, and the like, they are nature's firelighters.

Another for Dutch. Super craic and really efficient. Like Germans but without the superiority complex and with a sense of humour.

For interesting lifestyle, Tibetan or Mongolian shaman/nomad.
For height, Dutch.

For inscrutability, Balkan.
For speed, Kenyan.
For longevity, Hunza.

Global warming has meant that it's now too expensive to make igloos from ice. Instead they have to use petrol soaked plastic boxes, the ones that were previously used to ship dynamite.

I am now going explain one of the World's greatest mysteries.

The connection Batman and the Catholic Religion.

As we all know the " Penguin" was a character in the Batman series of find.

Nuns were also known jokingly as Penguins by convent school pupils.

Nuns when they die , turn into bats , the night flying variety.

Batman came about when a bat bit a bloke one night .

You can now clearly see the connection between Batman and organised religion.

There's a lot of penguin talk in this thread, ad maybe I've missed something but eh...penguins don't exist naturally in the same region as the Inuit. Polar bears in the Arctic, penguins in Antarctica (and a few other bits of the southern hemisphere).

('Arctic' comes from the Greek for 'bear'. 'Antarctic' means 'no bears'.)

Anyway, I'm with the OP. I've always been a fan of Iceland, and eventually got there eight years ago. I'd go back if I were any good at going on holidays...

Was there no Irish nationality between 1800 and 1921?

Dutch. I've never met one that wasn't lovely or good craic. I'd want to be a few inches taller, though. They're the tallest nation I believe.

Oh wait, this is still early in the 21st. Erm, in that case British. Just for the novelty.
