Hungary workers get shock at bottom of rum barrel

"special taste"


Eeewwwwwwww

I hope he had a bath before he was put in that barrel.

It must have preserved him pretty well for those 20 years, though. Maybe the pizza guy should have thought of this.

These guys sound like the dregs of society.

Nelson's Tomb

Admiral Nelson lies at the centre of the Crypt, directly beneath the middle of the Dome. His monument includes a call to national prayer that he wrote while in view of the enemy before the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

Nelson was killed in the battle, but was well prepared for this eventuality and had his coffin with him. It was made from the mast of a French ship sunk in one of his earlier victories and he kept it propped behind his desk.

His body had to be preserved for the journey home, so it was soaked in French brandy. At Gibraltar, it was transferred - still in the coffin - into a lead-lined casket and steeped in distilled wine. When the pickled remains reached England, they were put in two more coffins before being buried in the crypt, beneath Cardinal Wolsey's 16th century sarcophagus.

...ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL...

Nah, just typical Hungarians ... <giggles>

At least, considering they're Hungarian, they'll also have finished some of the renovating ... Russian workers woulda drank the barrel and not done any of the renovating either. ;-)

Angyalföldi Rum! Well, no wonder then. That's like drinking Compton Kahlua. Bronx Beer. Shoreditch Sherry.

However, they said that it had a lot of body.

<total giggle fit>

Will his love be like his rum,
Yes it will, yes it will,
Intoxicating all night long,
Yes it will, yes it will, everybody,

Drink, drink this toast,
Drink this wedding toast,
Drink oh drink this toast,
To the two we love the most,

Did he wed her in the spring,
Yes he did, yes he did,
Did he give her finger ring,
Yes he did, yes he did,

Will her cooking be the best,
Yes it will, yes it will,
Make his belly split his best,
Yes it will, yes it will,

Will she be a perfect wife,
Yes she will, yes she will,
Make him work hard all his life,
Yes she will, yes she will,

Will we dance and sing all night-a,
Yes we will, yes we will,
Eat up ev'rything inside,
Yes we will, yes we will
