[UPDATE:] When I went to have a look at the Pat Kenny page just now, I see:

So obviously what the anon y mouse d’Internet user wrote was not true. Thats interesting!

Must e-mail Pat tomorrow and see if he found out there is an unofficial biographer on the loose!

Who’s next? Gay Byrne? Ryan Tubridy?!

Pat Kenny, that “good radio interviewer” (not my words) has hit Wikipedia, or maybe its Wikipedia has hit Pat Kenny.

Some nice helpful d’Internet user has updated his profile page on Wikipedia to include the following:

Nickname in college was “The Plank” because of his tendency to ‘get wood’ at inappropriate times. Is reported to have bedded over 40 show girls. Was once a trainee priest, but was forced to leave the seminary over allegations of sexual relations with a nun. Was once suspected of being “The Midnight Commando”, a Batman-style vigilante who fought night crime in late 1970s Dublin Once claimed to have travelled to space in “a giant hat”. No-one believed him. Except Sven.

Was recently associated with huge shipments of rhoyhypnol into Ireland Sleeps naked in a polythene bag which he believes gives him great sexual prowess. Hobbies include bending hot ones into unsuspecting interns. Reputed to have introduced the phrase “sweating like a rapist” into the vernacular after using it while he thought that the mike was off on his morning radio show. Likes to get bonged up when he has some free time. Is very superstitious and insists on eating a newborn baby mandrill before each episode of the Late Late Show.

Has been known to do his weekday radio show in the nude on occasion. Avid music fan who has a record collection of over 120,000 albums. His lifes ambition is to meet and interview Mr. David Hasselhoff.

Obviously thats the official Pat Kenny bio.

Classic.

Hi Tom,

I think you’l find that wikipedia seems to be a) slow, or b) down.

Ah, just checked again and its responding. On Plank’s page (not my nickname choice) it says:

So obviously, what was written was not true!
