Footie Fan Fishmonger's Fire Faux Pas Updated: 01:38, Saturday September 15, 2007 An Albanian fishmonger set fire to his van in a burst of anger after the national football team lost to the visiting Dutch side. But the foolish fish lover was left without a business after firefighters failed to extinguish the blaze because someone had stolen their water. Vilson Alushi had vowed to burn his fish-delivery van if Albania failed to win a point against the Netherlands on Wednesday. Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy put paid to his hopes with a goal in injury time to end the game 1-0. Alushi duly doused his car with petrol in the centre of the southern town of Delvine and watched as his friends alerted firefighters. They arrived promptly on the scene and unreeled the hose, only to find it was dry. According to reports, residents living near the fire station had drained the tank to help them cope with Albania's chronic water shortage. http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30200-1284227,00.html |
