'a few Drops short of a Pint' cited in Wikipedia

My travel book about Ireland has been cited as a source in Wikipedia.

Have you reached the big time when your book gets listed in Wikipedia? Or does it mean you’re past it, old news?

I have to admit, I was excited to realise that my book seems to have become an authority on Dublin’s statues. Or at least the derogatory names that Dubliners have for many of them: Hags with the Bags (statue of two women with their shopping bags at their feet), the Prick with the Stick (James Joyce) and the Skewer in the sewer (Millennium Spire, O’Connell St).

I wonder if Dublin Bus will list the book on their website, to let users know what they’re in for. Probably not… but you can see some of my contributions on an alternative site – Busrage.com. Dublin Bus confirms dodgy brakes on some buses, and How full does a bus have to be to call itself full?.

Have a great week
