    Default [news] There is a God and He Loves the Irish

    "Fishermen from both sides of the Irish border netted an unexpected early Christmas present, hauling in bottles of cream liqueur near the English coast, a drinks company said. The fishermen's nets brought up the bottles in special presentation packs that had been destined for the Christmas market in Spain -- so they scored not only a tipple but also the glasses from which to drink it."

    Nah, it's the work of the Devil. He hates the Spanish.

    How can that be , the presentation boxes are cardboard . When I was looting ....oops salvaging from a wrecked container ship , everything that wasn't shrink wrapped in plastic was out of its packaging and that was only on the day of the wreck , and the next two days on the rocks and beaches right next to it , not a month later hundreds of miles away . ???

    Perhaps the fishermen's nets hauled in the liquer in much the same manner that something "falls of the back of a truck" and gets picked up....
