Ah here

Commenter Rory asked for some drawings of other commenters. Here’s Mani (top) and Spaghetti Hoop (above)….

FIGHT!

Mick will draw “pretty much anything you request, photos or simple ideas”. A donation of €10 will be given to the Capuchin [Homeless] Day Centre. If providing a photo it should be of fairly decent quality. Drawings will be small (around A6 size).

Send ideas, etc. to broadsheet@broadsheet.ie marked ‘Mick Flavin.

OK, I now look demented having tried to stop sparying tea all over my screen… thanks Mick :)
Dόn Pídgéόní December 3, 2015 at 11:18 am

That is just how I pictured Mani.
1. Caroline December 3, 2015 at 12:03 pm
  
  I never dared picture him. I feared his retribution.
  1. Dόn Pídgéόní December 3, 2015 at 12:09 pm
    
    His vengeance on us all will be quick and brutal
    1. Caroline December 3, 2015 at 12:11 pm
      
      Definitely quick, so I’ve heard.
      1. Dόn Pídgéόní December 3, 2015 at 12:19 pm
        
        Did Clampers Ma tell you that?
      2. meadowlark December 3, 2015 at 2:10 pm
        
        I’m in love.

Where is Mani? Definitely missed around here. Meme fellow is a poor replacement.
1. Lordblessusandsaveus December 3, 2015 at 11:53 am
  
  Not by me. He was a nasty little one trick pony who targeted people. Came across as someone who spends far too much alone.
  1. Mikeyfex December 3, 2015 at 11:54 am
    
    I disagree with that. He was a funny guy and never saw him initiate any nastiness.
    
    Gas, Mick.
    1. Sheila December 3, 2015 at 11:58 am
      
      Yes, once I got where mani was coming from (bad / good choice of words there), I found his comments great :)
    2. Dόn Pídgéόní December 3, 2015 at 12:03 pm
      
      He is funny when he isn’t being nasty, but he has calmed it down
      1. jungleman December 3, 2015 at 12:32 pm
        
        You’re nasty enough yourself at times Don!
      2. Dόn Pídgéόní December 3, 2015 at 12:33 pm
        
        Never said I wasn’t. But thanks Mom
      3. jungleman December 3, 2015 at 12:36 pm
        
        I’m not your mom. Don’t worry, some day you will find her.
      4. ahyeah December 3, 2015 at 12:49 pm
        
        I actually thought he was funniest when at his nastiest. Certainly the wittiest commentator I ever came across online. He’s probably dead.
      5. jungleman December 3, 2015 at 1:20 pm
        
        Agreed ahyeah, mani was hilarious. RIP pal
      6. Dόn Pídgéόní December 3, 2015 at 12:56 pm
        
        My mom is dead so I doubt it. Luckily there are lots of people who like to tell me what to do in a similar naggy way so win win I guess
    3. Bertie Blenkinsop December 3, 2015 at 12:05 pm
      
      Yeah, I always found him very funny, never really picked up on any nastiness.
    4. Clampers Outside! December 3, 2015 at 12:09 pm
      
      Worst I’ve ever done was poke him with a proverbial stick… never worked in my favour :)
      
      Where you at Mani, Ma misses you :(
      1. Neilo December 3, 2015 at 2:25 pm
        
        Mani once praised a Bram Stoker related pun of mine and – in my head – I dined out on it for a year.
        
        That album cover reference in Hoop’s picture is simply wonderful!
      2. Clampers Outside! December 3, 2015 at 3:46 pm
        
        @Neilo… big whoooooshhh going on here at Clamp Towers….
        
        What’s the album reference?
  2. Caroline December 3, 2015 at 12:00 pm
    
    He can’t have been as great as they say if he troubled a pure ray of sunshine like yourself.
    1. Deluded December 3, 2015 at 2:06 pm
      
      Full many a flower is born to blush unseen…
    2. Neilo December 3, 2015 at 3:49 pm
      
      @Clampers: it’s a panel from The Who Sell Out, I think.

        @Hoop: yet more evidence that I’m older than shiz, I’m afraid.
      3. Clampers Outside! December 3, 2015 at 4:01 pm
        
        Ah thanks…. :)
      4. Spaghetti Hoop December 3, 2015 at 4:29 pm
        
        Here Clamps, I found a lurvely picture of you ;)

Very creepy and hilarious. More of this.
jeremy kyle December 3, 2015 at 11:27 am

Assumed the first one was ABM.
1. Ms Piggy December 3, 2015 at 1:49 pm
  
  Mick these are great, but you HAVE to do one of ABM. The real, original one of course, not the more recent ABM imitators. Please? :-)
  1. Mick Flavin December 3, 2015 at 6:23 pm
    
    I’ll see if I can come up with something, Ms Piggy.
rory December 3, 2015 at 11:30 am

Thanks Mick. 25 euro donation made.
1. Mick Flavin December 3, 2015 at 12:12 pm
  
  Thanks very much Rory. If you’d like the physical drawings send your address in and I’ll post them to you.
  
  As Rory kindly said, if anyone would like to throw a few euro in to the Capuchins, you can do so here…

  1. Mani December 3, 2015 at 2:21 pm
    
    Mick, the likeness is stunning, down to the chest hair looking like a sleeping gorilla.
    
    Reading the above comments is pretty much how I’ve always imagined my wake would go. Minus Clampers Ma throwing her body onto the coffin crying ‘He owes me money’
    1. Mick Flavin December 3, 2015 at 2:30 pm
      
      Welcome back bbz…x
      1. Mani December 3, 2015 at 2:38 pm
        
        Ah I visit the site daily just don’t have the time for the vitriol, channel that into Twitter and bowel movements.
      2. Mikeyfex December 3, 2015 at 2:41 pm
        
        hear, hear
      3. Caroline December 3, 2015 at 3:27 pm
        
        Wait, come back, we still have so much to learn!
        
        We can change. Some of us can sober up, others of us can get jobs. It’ll be different this time.
        
        *ugly crying*
      4. Clampers Outside! December 3, 2015 at 3:58 pm
        
        I told her and I told her… ‘Ma… don’t lend Mani money’.
        
        In fairness Mani, we all miss hearing the chains being dragged across the floor of the attic above us, when you’d call…. :(

    Felch me the rimming hammer !
Nigel December 3, 2015 at 11:43 am

That’s wrong. I’ve always pictures Hoop as, well, as a giant spaghetti hoop.

any link to where we can donate to the Capuchin [Homeless] Day Centre, I know I should google it but I had already typed this far before I realised it.

Hoop would never sell out !

She/ he the wo/man !

Hoop’s a lady, I’m sure of it :)
1. ahyeah December 3, 2015 at 12:50 pm
  
  I think Hoop is a gently overweight homosexual in his late 30s. Right, Hoop?
  1. Spaghetti Hoop December 3, 2015 at 1:43 pm
    
    Wrong!
    
    Arra Mick. Friggin’ hilarious, that. You are a genius.
    Fairly close too only I’ve slightly longer and darker gruaig.
    Mani is class – bring back Mani.
2. Spaghetti Hoop December 3, 2015 at 1:52 pm
  
  Confirmed gender = female.
  Confirmed sell-out intentions = zero.

  So Bodger is Jeremy Corbyn and Chompsky is 4-week-old Faolan Murphy O’Donnell? I bleedin’ KNEW it.
scottser December 3, 2015 at 3:57 pm

top drawer mick.
what’s in the tesco bag?
i want to know.
i really don’t want to know..
1. Mikeyfex December 3, 2015 at 3:59 pm
  
  I read your last line there and though for a sec that you were going around putting The Who lyrics into comments.
  1. scottser December 3, 2015 at 4:01 pm
    
    who are you?
  2. scottser December 3, 2015 at 4:02 pm
    
    you credit me with a bit too much nous there mikeyfix..
    1. Mikeyfex December 3, 2015 at 4:07 pm
      
      You did mean the ‘we won’t get fooled again’ though right? To be honest I didn’t get The Who thing with the Hoop image either so I was wondering where all these references were coming from. Normally I can see for miles but this time I can’t explain but I’d like to go off as a substitute if that’s ok.
      1. scottser December 3, 2015 at 4:47 pm
        
        i did mean ‘we won’t get fooled again’ indeed mikey – you’re alright anyway, anyhow, anywhere by me mate ;)
realPolithicks December 3, 2015 at 4:39 pm

Nice one Mick, excellent as always.
bertie blenkinsop December 3, 2015 at 6:32 pm

Received my drawing from Mick today.
Absolutely delighted with it, he’s a true gent with a fantastic gift.
Thanks again Mick, one day I’ll let you draw me like one of your French girls!
Sherriff Frilly Keane December 4, 2015 at 11:58 pm

I’ve always pictured da’hoop as Fiona Looney

And Mani, well,
He’d be my drinking buddy kinda lad
Meet for a lunchtime sneaky
And end up ringing in sick for the afternoon

Not that gimp
Sorry Fla
