    Quick - Someone either go wake Niall Collins or else tear him away from his six course expensed brunch so he can get his greedy, fat, corn-fed, disingenuous, posturing arsé onto the Bosses at Wikipedia asking why the Limerick Wikipedia page is not available today.......

    - Presumably the nine remaining inbred, lowbrow, obtuse Fianna Failers he still has supporting his 'comfortable' lifestyle will appreciate this grand, magnanimous gesture and continue to worship him and acknowledge his days toiling on all of our behalves.

    According to a piece I just read, Wikipedia works as usual on most smartphones and some tablets....... A bit of a crap 'blackout' really!

    - Nobody tell Niall though, I bet he just put down his champagne and hopped out of his jacuzzi to go ring MI5 or the Pope etc.

    Blackout must have ended this morning? was there earlier this morning
    now everything back to normal. Bah! I would have put the place down for at least a week and on smart phones and allow no way of simply disabling java script as a go around.

    And let a Fianna Fail guy make an idiot of himself by making a ridiculous decision / public statement without having all the facts ?

    That hasn't happened since Lenihan v Banks or Cowen v IMF or "cheapest bailout ever" or "soft landing" or........

    ....oh - I get you.

    That was the Google Maps thing. Raiser's just taking the piss because there was a Wikipedia blackout today, in protest against the SOPA/PIPA bills in the USA. If all of Wikipedia was down, then the Limerick page couldn't be seen by default. :pac:
