It’s been nine months since Iceland’s smiting of England in the Euro Cup – often referred to as the island nation’s greatest humiliation since Brexit.
This month brings tidings of another win for Iceland, an unprecedented baby boom to bolster our numbers.
A coincidence?
Ásgeir Pétur Þorvaldsson, an anesthesiologist at Iceland’s University Hospital doesn’t think so and tweeted the hospital “set a record for the number of epidurals” in the maternity ward this weekend, “nine months after the 2-1 victory against England.”
hehehe dagsins:
sett var met í fjölda mænudeyfinga á fæðingarvakt um helgina – níu mánuðum eftir 2-1 sigurinn á Englandi
