A judge has struck out a prosecution against a Norwegian businessman who was accused of taking a bin lorry on a nude drink-driving rampage in Dublin city centre.

Rune Skinnarland, 55, had been in the city for a business trip before he allegedly got into the lorry and drove it into the door of an apartment building, causing thousands of euro worth of damage on September 4 last year.

He had told the court through his barrister that he had no memory of the events and thought his drink might have been spiked.

He had claimed he went back to his hotel and "next thing he wakes up naked on the street".

Fecking Norwegians coming over here tearing up the place.

Fecking Norwegians, and then I am permanently banned from entering there because of this glorified flu nonsense.

Could have worse though. Could have been a Swede eh Biko?

Naked and ugly as sin to boot, that's a crime in itself.

Lucky so-and-so,

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a bin lorry driver. Sitting there in my nice warm cab, out of the rain. And only having to work one morning a week.

Livin' the dream, man!! (as in, he was...)

edit to wonder: has he now had an enforced career change? Could he yet be livin' the dream??

Blame the Gardai or the prosecution service for not complying with the evidence order. Someone fcuked up and his case was thrown out on a technicality.
