Who is he, was he oky, where was going? How after all this time does no one know who he is?
EDIT – no I don’t want anyone linking me to the Sim card video
They should reset the calender to start on that date. It’s the day this terrible timeline was created from the embarassed head of a slipped man. Before the slip and after the fall.
Just so ye all know, this “lovely” chaos name is Stephen Manning, think he runs The Big Romance bar on Parnell St, let’s never forget!
I feel like the collective consciousness of this country is that of a bored classroom.
mr slippy man
Outside St Michans church, by the Bridewell. Someone had marked it in Google maps before, but it seems to be gone now.
I swear to God my family talk about him whenever winter rolls around haha.
I will forever love how this was edited in to a news report. Pure Fr Ted level genius
It’s so hard to believe it’s been that long.
I was in a pup, they had just recently gotten the sky rewind thing, everyone laughed and the fella behind the bar said we can see it again!! And then they laughed for a half hour just rewinding and pausing constantly haha I was with my old man and it was pretty good honestly.
Good memories from this fool falling on ice haha
12 years?! No way!!
Would be a good guest for the Tommy Tiernan show. I’d be interested to hear how it’s affected him down through the years and what his thoughts are on the plaque etc.
Sad to think everyone in this clip is dead now.
12 years a SL^(ipper on the p)AVE^(ment)
Still can’t get over that bang to the head. Fuck.
That was 12 years ago?!!?
It stopped being funny 11 years ago.
Greatest clip in the history of TV 😂😂😂
Nobody ever realises that some sick fuck of an RTE camera man actually set up a camera and waited for a victim.
As an American I have NO IDEA what the fuck you are talking about, even after seeing the “clip”.
Anyone else have a good explination?
This man could have broken his elbow or damaged his back…which would have made it even funnier.
I didn’t even need to see the image. When the headline appeared in my email inbox I knew exactly what video it was going to be.

Never forget.
Happy anniversary everyone
Where were you when yer man slipped on the ice?
Where is he now?
I remember watching this when my kid was very small.
BRB need to squish the kid so she doesn’t grow any more.
And yet we have never found out who it was… such a shame..
What was the army doing in Leitrim?
I fell on my arse on ice yesterday morning and this was the first thing I thought of.
Ffs 🤣 “it’s still dangerous for Dublin pedestrians”
Never forget.
12 yrs mad how time flies..still giggle at that 🤣
So what’s the story with poles in the middle of the sidewalk? [serious]
What a great moment. I was watching this live on the news in my friend’s place in Drumcondra.
See, RTÉ can produce good content.

Bigger than the mystery of Shergar if you ask me!
