Archaeologists say Viking ship sank under pub car park

Archaeologists have discovered the remains of an ancient Viking longship which sank under a Merseyside pub car park in 1942 after drunken Norse warrior sailors suffered a fatal form of early SAT-NAV failure.

The longship is believed to lie six inches beneath the 'Rover's Return' pub car park in Meols, Wirral "where Vikings are suspected to have settled".

Institute of Archaeology experts used ground penetrating radar (GPR) equipment to pinpoint the ship's position after persistent rumors of protruding bison horn-festooned Viking sailors' helmets made the hostelry's patrons suspicious of what might be lurking in the car park outside.

University of Nottingham Viking Department expert Professor Stephen Harding says the Vikings may have been delivering lager to this grim Merseyside outpost when a freak accident struck their vessel.

"Of course, they could just as well have been pissed as ars**oles - just like the navigator at the helm of the Exxon-Valdez which crashed into Prince William Sound in 1989 causing over $10 billion of ecological disaster.

"In 1942 terms losing a whole longship payload of lager would have been a significant and parallel eco-horror for Wirral residents.

"I shudder to think what we may find when the bulldozers arrive."

Viking ship buried under pub car park - Norsemen wanted British beer!

Vikings give Carling the thumbs up. Archaeologists have uncovered a Viking ship under a pub car park on Merseyside. This confirms previous theories that British lager is and always has been the best in the world.

It is believed that the Norsemen sailed from the Scandinavian peninsula because they were thirsty, and decided to plunder the Railway Inn in Meols, Wirral, which sells Carling Black Label, the best selling beer in the United Kingdom. However, they had not reckoned on a tarmac car park, and their ship sank under a mass of tar-grouted macadam, where it has lain perfectly preserved until now. Captain Olaf the Stupid is thought to have been responsible for the navigational blunder.

British breweries have been quick to make capital out of the discovery, suggesting that it proves that the Vikings didn't think much of Danish Carlsberg. A spokesman for the British Breweries Association said:

"These Norsemen were clearly connoisseurs of lager and it may even be that the entire Viking invasion of England during the Dark Ages was the result of a search for a high hop flavour and a convivial social atmosphere that simply couldn't be found in continental bistros."

It puts to rest the suggestion that German beer is the best in the world.

Viking Shows Up with 1468 AD Pawn Ticket, Reclaims Shetland Isles!

.
Gott int Himmel - this has just been brought to oor attention.....

Hjaltland/ The Shetland Times - A Viking descendant of former Norwegian King Christian 1 surfaced today with an aging Pawn Ticket to reclaim the Shetland Isles.

Pawned off in 1468 to raise money for his ugly daughter's Dowery, the cash poor King received 50,000 Rhenish guilders for Orknay and 8,000 guilders for Shetland with a "buy back" clause.

Lost for hundreds of years, the Pawn Ticket was found in the bottom of a packing crate used for pickled herring, wrapped in a Shetland Sheep Foreskin, and in remarkable condition.

The Redemption Clause spelled out the reclamation price of 210 kg of gold, or 2310 kg of Silver, not adjusted for inflation, a wily ploy by the tricky King Christian who also founded Lehman Brothers, formerly known as Swen Lehman and Sohns, when it was incorporated in 1430 AD to lend money to other Viking Corporate Raiders and members of the King's Court of Economic Advisors.

The lucky finder of the Pawn Ticket, Bjorn Andersen, is a distant descendant of King Christian. Mr. Andersen currently works as a Herring Pickler in a Bergen, Norway processing factory . Neighbors say the unassuming Andersen was seldom seen at home as he worked the night shift, mostly to avoid his wife, Hagar, who it is said is even more ugly than the King's daughter that cost him an arm and a leg to get rid of, and caused a financial meltdown in the Norwegian economy.

Mr. Andersen's Attorney said his client found the valuable document while rummaging through the wet basement of his mountain side stone cabin, seeking the source of a "terrible odour" ultimately traced to a clogged toilet drain that was connected to "nothing" in the basement.

After pumping out the basement "looking for sh*t", Andersen found a collection of old herring crates dating back to the 1400's. In addition to the Pawn Ticket he found aging battle shields, cod pieces, and The Magna Carta.

Checking with Currency Exchange Officials , Andersen found he could cash in his IRA for Euros and meet all the redemption qualifications spelled out on the Pawn Ticket. Luckily for him he got out of the Market before the recent financial crash.

Friends say he can't wait to get back to the Isles and grab a few sheep or two.

"He's been starved for affection for years," his divorce lawyer stated, "now it's his time to rediscover his sexuality and live the good life." Observers say the oil and gas residuals won't hurt much either.

Maer Bannock Stuff

As promised du kens - maer o da big bannock stuff - Is this the way to North Roe? - Features on Big Bannock DVD 2005

Da Ossa's, Fladda, Ramna Stack, Skeeter Skeries, Pobie Sukka, Mousa, Longa Tonga, Da Unicorn an aaaaal da oder stacks, baaaas, headlaaands etc dat contribute tae da blog (aaaal contributions welcome du kens), support Da Big Bannock - weeeeel done da nort boys :-)

Which one is R2D2?

Skeeter skerries asked the question "Which one of the cast is R2D2?" as three of the characters wear masks in da filums.

Our Longa Tonga correspondent has requested a snaaa pic upload. Looking sooth with Weisdale Voe extreme right, Stromness Voe centre with Loch of Strom bottom left and Whiteness Voe top left.

Muckle Ossa's Eatery Guide - Pier Head, Voe

First approach….brill!!! looks like a cross between a set out of Last of the Summer Wine and Simon Kings Shetland Diaries. Seals gambolling in “da ebb” and Ossa watching (they were watching wis back!!!) Proceeding to PH. Old pub, painted Vee lining with wooden floors, plate glass windows etc. Menu good old standard Sheltie fayre. Fish (haddock - we dinna ate cod up ‘ere….hits wirmy!!), fish pie, fresh mussels etc. Muckle O had a gret muckle Yorkshire pud filled wi steak an ale (Muckle is still sleepin hit aff yit!). Really lovely staff, fast and helpful. Lots of interesting bits and bobs on the walls.

WC’s are through the “function room” which is basically a big old room stripped right back to the stone. Does not look massively posh, but excellent atmosphere at night time functions, if you can stand the pace….think “White Heather Club” (if you can remember that) crossed with Glastonbury. WC’s are a bit “unposh” but can be forgotten about quickly because Ossa likes the PH. Good price, delivered to table hotter than the sun, good amount.

Bein picky, some homemade dressings and sauces wid be good. Hmmmm difficult as chips are not hame made, although they do the best frozen chips if you ken whit Ossa means…..

Now da all important rating!!!!

Staff – Floats my tattie.

Food – My tatties a neesik. Wid definitely float my tattie if there were real chips.

Muckle Ossa's Eatery Guide - Grand Hotel, Lerwick

Very handy right int middle o da toon. Mixed feelings ont Grand. Commenting only on lunch time menu....it’s changed on a decadely basis...but don’t be put off. The burgers are not too bad. Cheap and hot and usually a large pile of frozen chips (big negatory for Muckle and Co. Real, proper chips would significantly improve Grands rating).

Other dishes not sampled much due to having experienced undercooked fish previously...blech!! Muckle dosen’t even like raw fish when it’s meant to be raw (Sushi – a recipe for Da Pirm Treed Polka if you ask wis!!!!) Da staff are very good. Quick, pleasant so points for that.... Strangely dark....in an illumation sort of way, not malevolent. Difficult tae give rating here....hmmmmm Ossa is consulting da magic seaweed...

Grand Hotel - Score

Staff rating - My tattie is like a neesik.

Food rating – My tattie is a jellyfish... cooking da fish properly and proper tatties wid elevate to neesik status.

Can't Catch Her

Peerie O's version of the classic MC Hammer hit -You cant Touch this....
