    This little bollocks always pops up and just out right ruins a thread.
    I despise the **** head.
    The worst is when he appears after a post with no comment to follow up.
    He's rude, obnoxious, arrogant, passive aggressive and vile.
    Is this someone we really want popping up time and time again here on boards.ie?

    I think we're a bit a head here on boards when it comes to most things, (We were talking about Sean Sherlocks ridiculous laws when the commoners on the streets hadn't a clue what was happening) but this really takes us two steps back, in my opinion at least.

    I'd actually like to see a new smiley added also, straight face, :-l .
    This would be used for when someone makes a post and a person has difficulty understanding it. Straight face says things like,
    "What does that mean", "I don't follow" and "What?".

    Also an earlier poster made reference to this little bastard being removed several years ago, leading to a campaign to brick the **** back, which obviously was successful.
    Is this correct?

    **waits for post to be raped :rolleyes:

    :D Not me!! :P

    BUT! Some people seem to follow people and slate them on here.
    It's the same names who always pop up to disagree with certain posters.

    And how is that relevant to this thread exactly?

    If you're going to make accusations, at least have the common courtesy to back them up. :)

    btw, there's no iphone prize for answering correctly..

    Somewhere out there, in some parallel universe, a rolleyes is posting the exact same thing in a thread about getting rid of the TeddyTedson smiley.

    I'm running Adblock on Chrome and have a button beside the address bar. When I click it, one of the options is "block an ad on this page". When you click this and move your mouse around, the stuff you're hovering your mouse over will be highlighted. So just click on the rolleyes icon, and it will confirm that you want to adblock it.

    No smilie by the ops definition has a valid place in a discussion if rolleyes doesn't.

    Personally, I don't care..If someone replied to a post or opinion of mine with a rolled eye, I will assume they disagree rather strongly..

    the problem is that smilies look different depending on the skin you use. So in some skins it will look like a guy rolling his eyes while in another skin it looks like a hopeful smile.

    Thank you so so much for this. Adblock suddenly became even more amazing.

    It annoys me when it's used by members here completely out of context along with a sentence irrelevant to the meaning of it.

    I love how people can presume to "grammar correct" people on a facial expression they wish to employ
