The container was found by a dog walker on Poll Na Crann beach - known locally as Stinky Bay - near Griminish, on west Benbecula.

You are not concerned that this thing could have had deadly germs?

I'm not the least bit concerned . A container of germs would probably have been much smaller and far less conspicuous.

Good Point.

However, this thing could have been loaded with little green men trying to take over.

It's the 'grays' you have to worry about.

How does one go about loosing a 27m beer fermentation tank anyway? No really, I wanna know. I would like the local brewery here to "loose" one. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Doggone boss...darned if I know. Last I saw, it was back there on the trailer. But then some hippies flagged us down and they had some really good pot, and well...I don't remember much after that.

I'm sure it will turn up.

Who would ship deadly germs in such quantities?

"Skippah... shouldn't we tell them that the tank came from our ship?"

Read the article, it wasn't a beer container, it held Coors.

There was a piece about this thing on the TV evening news tonight.
It is one of SIX similar containers which "fell off" a cargo boat in the English Channel in bad weather at the beginning of December.
So this has been bobbing around the coast for the past month, and there are a load more of them somewhere.
