Luck of the Irish...

Luck of the Irish doesn’t always mean bad luck. This afternoon I witnessed an Irish lad balance his pint, whilst he made a roll up, on the top box of a mate’s bike that was on the side stand, and his mate, who hadn’t seen him do the balancing act, leant on the bike and rock it around a bit. Not a drop of the amber stuff was spilt.
 
I've always taken 'luck of the Irish' to mean good luck! Unlike 'Murphy's Law' ... or is that the same thing?!
Correct. Debated origin as regarding having help from leprechauns way way back, or having good luck the in gold rush days in America. Murphy´s law is a different and very sneaky force.
