    South East via the infamous Northwest Passage?

    Actually it has to be the Panama Canal which is NNW.

    It's the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean that meet at the south of Africa (at Cape Agulhas, rather than the Cape of Good Hope).

    3. It's a wonderful life

    If you asked me to translate them into Irish I wouldn't have a clue, but it's funny how the brain makes the connection when you recognise some of the words.
