Just read the back end of this thread today, poor Ray, he's getting an awful roasting, at the risk of causing uproar, can I say I really like him & the show (mostly)! Well, enough of that, whats happened to Jenny - I mean whats really happened?? Usually when any one of them is off the show, some sort of referral is made to what they are doing while they are out; like when Mairead had swine flu, when Ray was off doing his Rose of Tralee thing blah blah.. But nothing seems to be mentioned about Jennys' abcense, like as if she was so unpopular that not only was she booted off the show, but even her name was never to be uttered again?!! Am I the only one that thinks this? The paternity leave seems like a lame excuse, would she not have taken all that when she first had the kid? All seems suspect to me, I think she's gone for good - can't say I'm too upset about it either, she was the only one that bugged the sh1t out of me.

I think I heard him say a while ago that she will be back in the new year. He did not say why, sorry!:(

I firmly believe he would say anything in order to look cool.He really is like an embarrasing uncle making a fool of himself in front of young people.
He is not a man of principle and does'nt seem to have unshakeable views on anything.He is the Bertie Ahern of the airwaves.

when tom dunne filled in for ray he was brilliant, i think the new format of more talk less music doesnt quiet suit him.

if he was allowed play more music he would be radio gold, would still listen to him over darcy though.

Dunne is going for the Gerry Ryan audience tho, totally different to D'arcy.

Did anyone hear him call the girl stupid this morning? She was on for the just a minute quiz. She just hung up i think. Fair play to her. Id have freaked out.

Girl just texted him back to say that she was just cut off and wasn't offended so maybe it's just you?

Were you also outraged at Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand's behaviour?

Strange that nobody EVER texts in any critical texts.....or perhaps they just don't read anything out?

Just on Monday he was reviewing the papers and mentioned a picture of Cheryl Cole hugging that Joe fella who won it, Ray says "what a waste of a hug"??? Then they mentioned George Michael and the girl Mairead? mentioned she loved him, so Ray says you love George...or rather The George!

Is he a closet Homophobe????!??

Someone I know texted in to ask what he meant by it.....no mention on the air.

It doesnt matter if she text him. It was the height of ignorance.

Rookster

He is just the type of guy you would avoid in the pub.

That's interesting, especially given that so many of the texts are just repetitive drivel.

And if he's crying at just how delicious that roll is he's guaranteed a mention.:)

He loves people crying while listening to his show does Ray!:rolleyes:

Well it wasn't that fat cúnt Gerry Ryan who stole it anyway. The guards can rule that blob right out of their investigation.

God that was so dreary to listen to - though it was quite hilarious as he envisaged the thief - or thieves - monitoring his movements as they plotted to pounce on the bike as soon as he let his guard down... His egotism knows absolutely no bounds. Just a few minutes later he derided a nonsense piece in one of the papers in which the writer didn't know - harrumph - the details of his family life. Imagine, Ray! Somebody who doesn't listen to your show!

wobbles-grogan

Is it just me or is that man getting worse every day?
The last 2 to 3 days he kept goin on about the fact he thinks the minister for transport should have cancelled his holidays and come home early to manage the road conditions blah blah blah blah.
What the **** was he gonna do if he came back to Ireland? Grit the bloody roads himself?

Hes has underlings and things set up to do all these things. For example - the RSA, the NRA and ALL the county and town councils in Ireland. Anyway, its a once in a hundred years cold front. Nothing, and i repeat, NOTHING anyone can do about it.
Same thing he did with the floods back in november, whined. At least ray foley actualy did something good with the whining and helped out.

And yes, i do realise that people will tell me to change the station, but its on in work and i cant turn it off!

goingpostal

He must have stopped taking his HRT tablets again.

Eh ray eh @ eh todayfm eh .com eh followed by, eh text number eh eh
Get this fool off the radio, no one cares about your personal life. Delighted for him getting his bike robbed.

start sending out CV's

connemara man

just wondering but i thought this seemed the place to ask.

my boss has got me working on a project and wants to use songs she has heard on the TRDS but she doesn't know the name words tune anything.

i was wondering short of emailing the show itself and asking, is there anyway of finding out the playlist for the show today the 11/01/09?

And what exactly are you going to email them?

Does you boss actually have any clues as to the what any of the songs might be?

Yeah, email them and ask for the playlist. They might reply, they might not. The playlist should be on file though. If they do reply, get the playlist and YouTube the song names until you find what you're looking for. Job done.

Ray is probably too busy shoving his head up his own árse to reply. Give the man time, he is very busy exploring his own psyche to find the meaning of the universe.

Barname

i feel sorry for the kid

can you imagine having to share the air with Ray and Jenny?

thats child abuse IMO

Rookster

Is there anything Ray Darcy would not agree with as long as he thought it was the cool thing to do.He just flaps in the wind. Has the man got a mind of his own.
