I had never heard of it before - and like all good Irishmen I thought I was well versed in the tales of St. Brendan. Thanks!

No problem but that reference is to a scene in Monty Python’s “Erik The Viking” where the disgustingly peaceful inhabitants of Hy Brasil simply stand there like grinning idiots as it sinks, with the leader constantly assuring them that this isn’t happening.

Brutally funny.
