What a terrific and glorious blow was struck that day by the freedom loving terrorists of Brazil in support of the honourable and upright Fenian brotherhood of indescriminate bombers and back street snipers.
I can just imagine the conversation among those brave Rio heroes as to whether they should donate 50 Real to the IRA or stab some poor drunken British sailor in the back and spend the money on Dolores the Doxy instead.

He was found murdered in an abandoned taxi. A leaflet was left with the body stating that it was done as an act of solidarity. It was kept quiet until all the matelots were back on board for fear of a bit of a back lash and the whole thing was kept out of the UK papers. It was first reported in a Boston newspaper which knowing that place, was probably pro Irish republican. The whole city is full of plastic paddies.

If only somebody were to set off a bomb in that place, just to let those Bostonian bastards know what it's like to be on the recieving end, eh?

Isnt Brazil known for being a haven for freedom loving refugees like the ex-nazis who for some reason couldnt get into the other beacon of hope, Argentina?
