    Anyone know why they dedicated 15 minutes to the Now CDs?

    I usually don't like 'Email bag' load of pedants with nothing better to do that point out mistakes on TV, today however a woman emailed in complaining about RTE's 'The Zoo' containing "too much information" when it came to the lions mating. You'd swear 'penis' and 'ovulation' were dirty words, the way she was talking about how she didn't want her kids hearing such talk. What really annoys me though is that by airing these complaints you're giving this woman credibility when the fact is that 'The Zoo' is an educational programme aimed at teaching kids about the natural world, of which reproduction is a vital aspect, some people need to cop on.

    I would hazard a guess and say 75% of those texts are made up the RD show

    He has 245,000 listeners and you reckon they waste their time sending in texts to themselves? You really believe this? Really?

    I'd like to think that they wouldn't be that deliberately hypocritical given that only a few weeks back they were giving out about the prudishness surrounding public breast feeding

    Well you sir, are a fool

    That's nice, very adult.

    This is what I suspect, regards the %, I can only guess, but one would be naïve in the extreme to think they are ALL genuine. The 18 stone crying truckers etc.

    This is my opinion, I am entitled to it, and should be able to express it here with being called names.

    Of course you're entitled to your opinion, just like I'm entitled to think it's extremely foolish.

    Of course you are, the difference being you can do so, with being called names by me.

    If you feel the need to jump to RD's corner every time someone makes a negative comment, that's fine, but try to be a bit grown up about it.

    I apologise for calling you a fool, but I still think that your comment is ridiculously foolish.

    Dustin's in great form. Shame about Neil Delamere now - he's just not funny.

    Agree about Delamare but when he didn't want to talk about getting married Darcy should have just dropped it and moved on. It's like shut up Ray!

    I loved the bit where they were doing the usual tear inducing 'thank you' emails, in this case Margaret thanking Maeve for minding her kids while she spent time with her dying mother, and in the middle of it with both women in tears Ray says "Margaret, would you take that ridiculous thing off your head, I can't take you seriously" :eek:

    You're right. I should have said compilation rather than CD. I think your man said the first Now compilation to make it on to a CD was Now 4.

    Ah for flip sake, it's just a bit of craic. I actually like all three of them! I'd like to think they'd take it as a joke too. And I'm not exactly Elle McPherson height wise myself so I'm in good company with them.

    And Hobbits are brilliant anyway, I'd be honoured to be one!

    It's illegal to talk about Ray's height though. But yes it was quite the statement.
