The Fethard Futurists are formed and celebrate with a trip in their new time machine back to 1985. They are shocked to discover that Charles J. Haughey, on whom all major religions in the 31st Century are based , is not a flaxen haired goddess with a Sword of Truth and the Pomegranate of Vigour, but a small dodgy-looking politician with silent shoes in a pricey suit.

They are about to return to their own time to shatter the illusions of a hundred generations, but are waylaid and persuaded to invest in offshore holdings instead. Some years later when the the shite hits the fan they are called to give evidence before a tribunal but scarper back to the future the day before they are due in court.
