Being honest and im no fan of Ray, you would seriously have to question why any woman would agree to be on live radio during her labour.

Some people will do anything for an Odd One Out fleece and a bobble head Ray

Attack the post not the poster. Step away from the abuse please.

Access

I've been on here a few times now... lamping ray for the continuous dating segments and the same old comedians on in perfect rotation and the same 15 songs in rotation too...

But, I have to say i am happy that the dating has taken a break (for the moment anyways) and songs are wide and varying lately so things are looking up for the show in my opinion.

not satisfied with stealing joes thunder on the household charge he's got the dubalin payple on at each other now:rolleyes:

at least it's a change from the blind date

It's an atrocious piece he's running now, Ray is just being an arse about it.

5live

This show really really jumped the shark this morning. He used a piece on taking down bras hanging across a road to continue his campaign against household charges. If i wanted wall-to-wall coverage of the charge, ray, i would listen to radio 1. Or tune into Joe Duffy. Is this Rays attempt to campaign to replace Joe when he retires?

Enough already. Time to find another station, i think

When that segment was on I just turned to one of the lads and said that's Ray going for his Joe Duffy slot. Not good.

Gymnastics on radio? Well done Ray.

Did Ray say that he would pay the household charge or would donate the money instead to Crumlin hospital, as I hear him advocating?

She refused to appear on the Fr. Ted documentary that Channel 4 did a few years back. I know that she doesn't want to be associated with it any more, but I thought it showed a lack of respect to Dermot Morgan and to the show that essentially made her.

Whatever anybody here's has against Ray & his show, how can you say anything bad about his 5k programs???? I don't see what is bad about encouraging people to get up off the couch and get fit and healthy.

His holier than thou attitude in regards excercise is annoying as hell. You run, you cycle, congratulations. You dont need to constantly go on about it. People arent stupid, they know excercise is good for them and dont need you telling them so.

Glad I'm off this week so probably wont hear a word of it.

Fair enough if it's just for the week that the 5k runs are on but with D'arcy its practically everyday that he mentions how he ran to work or cycled to work and how it's great and free and blahblahblah. He bangs on about it like he's the only person to every do it and he does have a slightly superior opinion of himself because of it IMO.

Some people need a bit of motivation to get into exercise. Its not as easy as someone saying: "I need to get fit, up I get now and run 5k" Its about a support network, wherever you find it and seeing that 5000 people this week have found through Ray I say fair play to him for doing it.


Here's an idea, save yourself the headwreck and change the radio station

Itssoeasy

Jesus he's talking ****e this morning. And doing an item on sports bras which is a visual thing on a non visual medium is Pointless.The story about the girl who had that balls up with the liver transplant though was a nice feel good story.

Exactly :pac:

wnolan1992

I've nothing against Ray's 5k initiative, think it's great in fact, help get more people motivated etc. But 5 shows in a row almost dedicated solely to the item is a bit grating. That's the only issue I have.

The Kanyu Tree's cover of Bloodbuzz Ohio was epic. If anyone has the facility to record a stream from the net, please go to the listen back and get it. And then send it to me. :pac:

throw in Des Bishop regaling us with jokes of how us Irish are funny when it comes to online dating, and you have yourself a nightmare show

JM Skipton

you can add in Mairead Farrell fake laughing at Andrew Maxwell to top off your nightmare show!

shockwave

Mairead Farrell fake laughs at everything that anyone on the show says, even when shes not on air you can hear her in the background.
