    The man cant win though really? One listener saying dont talk about what he doesnt know, one listener chastising him for sticking to "safe topics" he does know a bit about.

    I was thinking that myself.

    Yesterdays show was particularly good I have to say. The right mix of light hearted and seriousness. I have to say I was very touched, when he couldn't read out some emails cos he was genuinely upset. Rumour has it he's one of the nicest guys you could meet.

    Haven't heard him in a good few days so can't really comment on it. Only that when dealing with the general public everyone will have their own opinion so you can't expect everyone to say "Great show"

    Ray's guests might have some hope of making their point if he stopped interrupting them. Tried to listen to him with Dr. Harry Barry this morning and it was very annoying. Does his producer not have the balls/brains/ voice/ technology to tell him to shut up and listen to the answer to the question he's just asked?

    Ray mentioned earlier this morning that he had a falling out with Russell brand - was this on one of his botched interviews or offline? What happened?

    i think Russell Brand accused ray of using ideas from his show and passing them off as his own.

    I don't think so, I'd be surprised if he was. There is enough people working on TRDS to come up with original stuff I would think! :pac:

    Didn't he go on Brand's show and explain himself, think that was the end of it.

    I think it was mostly skitting on Russell Brand's side (he declared that Ray was "all up 'is co-'ost" :D) but Ray took it kind of seriously and was a bit defensive, IIRC. There was some overlap with a maximum-banana-eating-in-a-minute Guinness record and one or two other topics.

    Competition just on now, one of the rounds of questions is a clip of a movie being played and you have to say the name of the movie.

    The clip was of Anchorman. The contestant answered "Reservior Dogs"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It reminded me of the one with the Shining going back a few months.

    It was a taking the mick question, slagging him off about Roy Keanes comment last week of a ridiculous question, and he was dared to ask MON a stupid question.

    I feel like screaming at work now listening to him pontificating about breastfeeding. Of course he brings the Catholic church into it again as one of the factors for our "low" breastfeeding rate. It also galls me when he blames "lack of education" as a reason more women dont breastfeed. I am an intelligent woman and did not choose to- my body my right. I dont need some uo-their-arse presenter telling me I'm wrong. Im sorry for the rant but am fuming now, I have to leave the office!

    He seems to have his tunnel vision on again. He has the attitude that he's right on this and that's that.

    Was listening in the car awhile ago. He took the head off that guy Will when he was about to say something and it didn't sound like banter or anything. Heard him do the same recently as well about something else. jaysus, fairly unprofessional.
