Every **** knew?
Every **** that has done a pub quiz in the last 20 years. Think they may have also mentioned it on QI in the same episode they were on about the lack of horns on their helmets. Weird though that a Swedish company would name it after a Danish king. I couldn't see a Scottish company naming something after a Welsh king for example.

They were all Norsemen, matters not a jot that he was Danish.
 
The Gaelic name for Dublin is ‘Baile Atha Cliath’ which translates literally as ‘town of the hurdle ford’, a description of the bank of wooden hurdles built up across the river Liffey by the Vikings. The word ‘Dublin’ is actually a composition of two Gaelic words: ‘dubh’ meaning ‘black’ and ‘linn’ means ‘pool’ (or ‘mire’). Thus the literal translation of the words from which Dublin gets its name is Black pool!
Crossing the ‘hurdle ford’ was not without its dangers. In 770 AD a band of Bon Valley raiders were drowned crossing the Liffey at the hurdle ford.

Do the Irish still moan about the Vikings invading Ireland, or do they just care when certain other countries bring civilisation to them? <whistle>

And just like Blackpool, it's full of Scottish ****s getting pished and making ****s of themselves.
 
Was going to meet up when you were shagging that bird from Howth or Malahide but you ****ed up and went off and got hitched.

ps Never been to Blackpool
She ended up coming to Nice for a riding, a while before I was married. Then when you visited Nice, I wasn't living there anymore, mainly because of Smug. Maybe we are destined to be two ships in the night.
