    Most of the page on Irish tunnels is by me. I've done quite a few corrections to typos and rephrasings.

    I added to the profile of Moe from The Simpsons :) (info about his heritage and religions).

    I've fixed grammar and spellings on a few random pages before, but I've never vandalised or actually added anything to any of the pages. I had a year long IP ban that I have no idea what I did to deserve so I don't go near the stupid thing anymore. :mad:

    As I came across this story in the Times today it reminded me of some vandalism I found to the entry for Chris Tarrant the other day.

    I personally think the greatest 'additions' are the ones that are just a small step above total nonsense.
