Oil of vitriol is an old alchemists name for sulphuric (or is it sulfuric -
IUPAC decided to have an f in sulphuric and ph's in fosforic) acid.  Presumably
vitriolic means corrosive.

It often happens that challenging a story makes it bigger news, and also that
a case may have revealed more than they would have liked.  So better a
far-fetched tale going unchallenged than being challenged airing whatever
dirty washing there is.  But I haven't a clue about this case.

Is the bad grammar in your sig yours or the UN's?  The singular of media is
medium, as in a medium at a seance.  Did you never do Latin in secondary?
Geesh, what is Irish education coming to!
