Between the 1830s and 1860s there was a lucrative ice trade between New England and India. Ice was cut from frozen ponds in Massachusetts etc and shipped on a months long journey to keep the colonial Brits cool.

An SAS aircraft was in Dublin today over near where the DHL and FedEx planes park. Had a line of Airport Police and Ambulances waiting outside it. It had landed from Cairo. Turns out it’s a hospital plane likely with Palestinians on it. Surprised there’s not more made of it but obviously gets very political very quickly as I assume the folks on the plane are carted off to Irish hospitals

That’s what I said when I first heard it, and told the fella they was telling me about it that he was full of shit.
I’ve since made a groveling apology.

He sure is and he filled the 3 Arena on Friday night, it was a very good gig.
