You're as well off without them. Inept does not even get close to describing 747.
with 747 you cant be sure your even going to land at the right airport or they could cancel the whole thing when its too late to book anything else.

Agent travel is ridiculously expensive, even allowing that you'd be staying in a B&B!
Cancel the trip when it is too late to book anyhting else. you bet!!!

There's a little diagram of the venue on the back of the tickets but I have no way of transferring that into an email (i.e. scanning or something like that).

I just saw this on another site. A shame about the standard of the beer but them not being able to kick out drunks is definitely in our favour.
Faroe Islands
Some of the worst beer in the developed world- tasteless, sharp, acidic, and very over-priced. Still, the locals don’t let get in their way of oblivion, so good luck to them! For years alcohol was strictly rationed on these rocky outcrops, and with good reason – the lack of genetic variety has obviously hampered their ability to process the booze (this is especially true amongst the Inuit population, who share a genetic trait with those of oriental descent that does affect the body’s processing of alcohol).
Couple this with a strange, yet entertaining law, that prevents bars from ejecting drunken customers, this provides every bar with it’s very own cabaret show. Which is handy, seeing as there’s only 3 proper pubs in the whole of the capital city! One legacy of the prohibition days are “key clubs” – local hideaways for fisher-folk, described by Tom Small and Maurice as “something out of Star Wars”. Stories also abound of the locals “coming out of the trees” in the early hours armed with bottles of vodka and whisky, although the more cynical of us suspect that this may be a case of the DT’s. Class, pure class. Special respect is due for the ability to get so drunk on such poor beer.
I read that before. Its sounding more and more like something out of Father Ted. Keep getting this strange mental picture of locals hiding in trees with bottles of Vodka, brilliant. i can not wait
What are the bets that that law will be repealed after the Ireland match?
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
I sent a query off to Heidi in the Smyril Line Office about the Faroese currency. As ever she was very helpful. Here's what she had to say:
I can understand the confusion, but the Faroese Krona is the same currency as the Danish Krona - we are a part of Denmark and thus we use their currency. So you will get by just fine with Danish money.
It's just as well we have a reliable source as the banks I had asked here about it hadn't a clue.
