    Havn't been listening ,but I am not surprised.

    PP seems to have a direct line into most radio stations.

    Has all the attributes,brass neck, confidence, and a motor mouth.

    yeah, not surprised at all

    Exactly, Twink was more interested in talking about herself and her bleedin' daughters than anything else.

    Paddy Power seems to have a rapport with the listeners and while yes, he's confident, he doesn't come across as arrogant and he's prepared to have a laugh at his own expense.

    I think he is very good, also we should all sink to our knees and praise Jebus that Twink is not covering....

    I can only think everyone involved saw that Adele King was a disasterous stand in.

    I too find him really good.

    Last week (Thursday I think) he gave a tip for his Mothers horse running in Navan. I nearly broke the car trying to get to a bookies in time, didn't manage it, horse lost anyways :pac:

    Keep the tips in your pocket PP :P

    I don't like the man, I find him rather arrogant, and I just don't like the rugby head on him even if it is on radio.
    That being said I only heard him for a few minutes yesterday.
    I think Derek Davis is doing a fantastic job covering on liveline btw.
