And the double chin on Joe Duffy the ape.
Itâs quite soul destroying when you go on holidays for a week and come back to 600 unread posts in the club football thread.
What is comforting though, is that by simply reading the last read and most recent I have the jist of the 600 odd posts.

Soul destroying alright.
The injuries chaps are picking up in rugby. A chap playing for Ulster - Peter Nelson - is out for the year because of a dislocated mid foot. What the fuck is this and how would you even do this to yourself?

so much wrong about all of this. All across the board. and a young girl died as a result.
Staff at a Dublin pharmacy which refused to dispense an EpiPen to the mother of a teenager suffering an anaphylactic shock have received death threats and verbal abuse since the incident, an inquiry has heard.
One caller told a member of staff he was going to be âslaughteredâ while in another incident, a caller rang in and hung up repeatedly, the hearing at the Pharmaceutical Society was told.
Shop assistant Rachel Horan said the pharmacy, Hamilton Long on OâConnell Street, had received a number of ânot very niceâ phone calls since the incident in which the mother of schoolgirl Emma Sloan tried unsuccessfully to buy an EpiPen in the shop almost two years ago.
Emma subsequently died on a Dublin street, having eaten a peanut-based sauce at a Chinese restaurant.
The inquiry is examining an allegation of poor professional performance against pharmacist David Murphy.
It is claimed that he failed to respond adequately when declining to give Ms Sloan an EpiPen because she did not have a prescription. EpiPens are used to treat people suffering from anaphylactic shock.
Ms Horan, the shop assistant who initially dealt with Emmaâs mother Caroline, told the inquiry a lady came into the shop saying âsomeone she was withâ had come into contact with satay sauce and needed an EpiPen. She said Mr Murphy said she should call an ambulance.
She remembered Mr Murphy asking whether Ms Sloan had received a prescription in the pharmacy before but nothing of the conversation after that. She said she was under the impression the person for whom the EpiPen was sought was in a restaurant at the time.
Ms Horan also told the inquiry there have been times where people have shouted at staff from outside the shop since the incident.
Ms Sloan told the inquiry she doesnât intend suing over her daughterâs death as it was ânot something I wantâ.
Ms Sloan has been questioned about differences between statements she made about the incident in December 2013 and her evidence to the hearing.
She has described to the hearing how she sought to help 14-year-old Emma, who suffered an allergic reaction after consuming the sauce in Dublin city centre.
Ronan Kennedy, barrister for Mr Murphy, said Ms Sloan, in a statement to the gardaĂ, did not mention the fact she was looking for the EpiPen for her daughter when in the pharmacy. In her evidence, she said she told the pharmacist this.
Ms Sloan accused Mr Kennedy of ânitpickingâ and insisted she had told Mr Murphy she was seeking the EpiPen on behalf of her daughter.
She described Mr Murphyâs assertion that he suggested calling an ambulance as âa lieâ.
Asked about her recollection of events, she said: âMy memory doesnât fail. Two years next week it will be and it is like it was yesterday.â
The inquiry has been told Emma suffered at least three similar reactions prior to the incident on December 18th, 2013.
Ms Sloan said her daughter began complaining of a tingling sensation on her lips, so they left to go to Temple Street Hospital as they did not have an EpiPen with them.
After failing to get an EpiPen in the pharmacy on OâConnell Street, they rushed up the street to the carpark, she said.
She agreed with Mr Kennedy that, on the way, they gave a homeless woman âŹ5, but denied this caused any delay. She said she had the money in her hand and didnât stop when doing it.
The inquiry has been shown CCTV footage from inside the pharmacy in which Ms Sloan can be seen asking for the EpiPen. Emma Sloan waited outside Hamilton Long pharmacy while her mother went inside.
