The Book Of Kells was once recovered from a field.

A common practice of thieves in relation to religious texts was to grab the books and later pry the actual leaves from their expensive, gold-and-gem enlaid covers.

Gobsheen - I think it's a made up word, sorta censored form of 'gobshite'! :-P

Think of how BA used to say 'sucker' on the A-Team, then you get the idea!!
