PICS: It Takes Some Neck To Bring City Centre Traffic To A Standstill Like This...

You'd have to have some neck to plonk yourself down in the middle of a city-centre bridge, bring traffic to a complete standstill, then refuse steadfastly to budge.

But that's exactly what this little fecker did on the southbound side of the Samuel Beckett Bridge today. 

Gardai were called to the scene, and the delays now seem to be easing up. Better still, there are no reports of broken arms – so mammies everywhere can rest easy.
