Please send pithy 2010-2015 observations marked ‘Five Years‘ to broadsheet@broadsheet.ie. Thank you very much.

    …given half a chance, I’ve never seen that dress your wearing..

      You could Photoshop it. Are you still making cute pictures.

5 years of comment deleting and wonky ad implementation.

But at least the poems and pictures of the river in Dublin are consistent.

I can’t believe I had to google what pithy meant….
1. bisted July 21, 2015 at 5:45 pm
  
  …that’s the first thing you’ve ever posted that we can believe.

Jaysus five years ‘the sheet’ has come along way. Keep up the good fight! Huzzah!
KirkenBrenner July 21, 2015 at 5:35 pm

Cool.. Here’s to more censorship and clickbait.
1. Nice Anne (Dammit) July 21, 2015 at 9:12 pm
  
  and yet you are still here with a “Name” no-one or his dawg is familiar with for their positive contribution to comments….
Ms Piggy July 21, 2015 at 5:36 pm

Fairy gnarly? :-D But many happy returns, comic typos and all!
Clampers Outside! July 21, 2015 at 5:55 pm

  1. ahyeah July 21, 2015 at 7:05 pm
    
    Yeah, I can feel it. Either move to the back row or sit sideways.

peenieman July 21, 2015 at 6:01 pm

G’wan de Broadsheet,there’s things that look like ya but then there are things that look like Ireland[thankfully winding down] but for a balance ‘tween the serious and not so,ye generally hit the target a lot of the time.
For this https://www.broadsheet.ie/2011/11/30/kate-fitzgerald/
for Modern Toss and Cyanide & Happiness
for Irish rap promotion
and most of all for standing up to Dobber

ABM and the other ABM must get a mention for flaming slanderous posts
1. rotide July 21, 2015 at 7:55 pm
  
  It’s been 5 years. Do you still actually think ABM is real?
  1. Bad At Memes July 22, 2015 at 12:21 am
    
    Don’t forget, ABM has only been ~~taking a shi~~ gracing us with his comments for 2½yrs of those 5,
    
    Yeah, it feels longer for me too.
    1. Gav D July 22, 2015 at 9:39 am
      
      Naaah, he’s been around way longer than that.
      
      I quite enjoy him/her/them.
Splendido July 21, 2015 at 6:30 pm

Isn’t it time for a new WP theme though?
Spaghetti Hoop July 21, 2015 at 6:54 pm

Smithfield, guards and horses come to mind but whoah horsey….this is gonna take me some time….FIVE years Councillor…..
The Old Boy July 21, 2015 at 7:14 pm

Will we see the reanimated corpse of Jockstrap?
1. Mick Flavin July 21, 2015 at 8:10 pm
  
  Jeez, Jockstrap. Hadn’t thought of him in a while. Pedanto was my favourite now-defunct poster.
  1. Caroline July 21, 2015 at 8:31 pm
    
    Pretty sure Ol’ Pedo (he absolutely insisted on that nickname) has survived in some low-key form.
    1. Mick Flavin July 21, 2015 at 8:41 pm
      
      Good Ol’ Pedo…I thought Alfred E Neuman was him for a while, but he’s gone now too.
      1. Mikeyfex July 21, 2015 at 9:01 pm
        
        I had the same thought.
        
        Both consistently good commenteers.
    2. The Old Boy July 21, 2015 at 8:43 pm
      
      Interestingly, a Google search reveals that Pedanto’s last post was on the article about Gilligan being shot on the 1st of March 2014. Perhaps he was nobbled.
      
      You can enjoy Jockstrap’s exit here: broadsheet.ie/2013/08/09/a-limerick-a-day-213
      Hardly surprising that it was John Moynes that put him over the edge.
      1. Mick Flavin July 21, 2015 at 9:09 pm
        
        That’s some good Googlin’, Old Boy.

      3. Spaghetti Hoop July 21, 2015 at 9:23 pm
        
        I firmly believe Jockstrap is still with us, and not in a holy spirit way….
      4. Mani July 21, 2015 at 9:52 pm
        
        Oh I have no doubt.
      5. dereviled July 21, 2015 at 9:32 pm
        
        Thank you, Old Boy, quite entertaining but poignant. I do appreciate a well crafted comment.
      6. dereviled July 21, 2015 at 10:13 pm
        
        Ahhh, thank you Mani.
        The thick plottens…
      7. Kieran NYC July 21, 2015 at 10:24 pm
        
        Fairplay to Jockstrap. He said he’d leave and he meant it.
        
        I’m glad cluster/classter is back though.
        
        Who else is on the rollcall of ‘The Missing’?
        
        Frilly hasn’t been seen in a while. Or Helen. Or one of the bad Annes.
      8. Jonotti July 21, 2015 at 10:52 pm
        
        Mani showing himself to be a complete bottom hole in that post

        You couldn’t resist, could you Jockstrap?
rotide July 21, 2015 at 7:56 pm

It would be great to see a bumper edition of Karl’s stat attacks.

Also, would love to see the first days articles
Mikeyfex July 21, 2015 at 8:18 pm

A woman who won a ring or necklace from a jeweller’s facebook competition and then proceeded to thank the jeweller’s facebook page while she herself was signed in as the jeweller’s facebook page!! Revealing of course that she worked there and it was a FIX!

That was the first article I saw on Broadsheet.

Good times.
Caroline July 21, 2015 at 8:34 pm

Five years of BS annoying all the right people… and a few wrong ‘uns.

    wats dat pet? <3

The first article I read was about a fire in Terenure, I then spent a happy week or so reading every post that had gone before, I used to come here daily but don’t after suffering from fairly severe anxiety earlier this year led me to curtail my online activities.

That is one thing I like about this site, the posts highlighting mental illness and trying to remove the stigma attached to them. I still visit fairly regularly but don’t comment so much now, usually because there is nothing to add – all the good arguments, smart alec remarks and jokes have already been said by the time I see a post!
fluffybiscuits July 22, 2015 at 12:26 pm

Broadsheet is a mine of info and its used it is read throughout the civil service religiously! The one that stands out is the young chap who wrote about his mental illness that discussed how he was going to end it and his emotions, it stuck a chord with a lot of people. 300+ comments. Plus your never ending coverage of the nutters in youth defence, great work!
