Your End of Year Lists

Saddest retirement: Doctor John Harbison - State Pathologist.

Most embarrassing moment: Getting barred from Copper Face Jacks the night Wexford lost to Offaly and Kilkenny in Croker. Like how the fook do you get barred from a dump such as that place?

Funniest moment: Getting barred from Istanbul take-away on Baggot Street in October.

The guy working there (who possibly has about 5 teeth top and bottom) was having a go at me for not being as boisterous as usual, ‘Hey my friend - you’re all quiet now. A different man when all your friends are here - you never shut up. Where’s your mouth now? Where’s your mouth now my friend?’

I drunkenly responded, ‘Yeah and where’s your teeth?’

I was blowing kisses in the window at him last Saturday and he threatened me with a rolling pin. I love Istanbul take-away.

Favourite chant: Liverpool fans - ‘Put your hands up for Dirk Kuyt…Put your hands up for Dirk Kuyt’

Top three sporting moments of the year.

  • (Number 3). Tom Morrissey’s point in injury time v Kilkenny.
  • At 2 Pat Simon lobbing Nash.
  • And obviously… Full time whistle in the AI final and the celebrations since.
