I enjoy his show, but does he ever stop talking about the Boardwalk?

Its absolutely headwrecking.

I hate-dispise-detest him, his show, his stupid restaurant and the ground beneath his feet.

Big party my place the day he dies... all invited.

A bit dramatic.

I quite enjoyed the food at the restaurant any time iv been.

Its just the constant advertising on both his show and Inside cork is ridiculous.

also the amount of euro millions ads on the show are wreckin my head as there isn't a hope im going to win and im broke at the moment.

suppafly

very occaisionally he has decent stuff on it but I don't really like him much either. i just flick onto redfm or some other station when he comes on

I just hate 96fm full stop. From the annoying Nick Richards in the morning, to Ken I can't go 4 seconds without saying eh Tobin, and don't even get me started on the voiceover for every jingle they do. The guy sounds like a child molestor 'Coouuuurks 96 FM'.

Prendeville is probably the best of a very very poor bunch.

And in case you hadn't guessed, my work radio is stuck on ninty-sh*t FM.

Didnt he get in trouble at one point for talking about the restaurant all the time? I'm sure I heard him bitching that he wasnt able to talk about it a while back . Saying that, I heard the food is good but you'd want to be fecking loaded.

He's an awful bollix!

I do however enjoy eating in the Boardwalk.
I can't stand the radio, it's so much adds and bullsh!t
Gately owns most of the boadwalk anyway so I don't mind dropping a few quid in there. He seems to me to be a hard worker so it's ok.

Haven't listened to him in years - doubt I have missed anything.

corkhero

Ken tobins show is exactly the same every day.

listen to it bout 12.20 today and he will list out some stories about artists.

then he will ask people to request songs from the artists.

yes work is boring.

Remember the lyrics sung about him years ago at the city matches..

In the deepest part of Africa, Where the white man never roams,
Lays the body of an...........

I better not finish it

The food is OK... and I think the Boardwalk is solid enough overall, despite the pretentious forced American feel to it. The prices were too high at first (who will spend €22 on a steak at lunch time?) but last time I went there I got the feeling that they have already adapted, with cheaper stuff available now and you can get a normal lunch for less than €10.

I have never been there in the evening, and I don't see how it could work as a late bar.

Wouldn't eat in a restaurant owned by that arrogant muppet.

you'd need an arrogant attitude for those type of shows to get peoples backs up and to get phone calls

Ryan is arrogant, but at least he's willing to listen to other people's opinions, and debate them. Prendeville deals with differing opinions by cutting people off and shouting them down. That's ignorant, lazy and very poor journalism. I can't understand why anyone listens to him, and the idea of not liking him but still lining his pocket by going to his restaurant utterly befuddles me.

It's no wonder this country is in the state it's in. The word "principle" seems to have been removed from the Irish dictionary.

I like the fact that you can find out about things going on in our city, but at the same time he talks a lot about stuff he is interested in, which can get annoying. Do want to try the restaurant, but just for the sake of trying a new place!

I like the radio station that plays music all the time and only interrupts every now and then to say "This is a test transmission".

Then turn off your radio!

I have not listened to him since I moved out of home 10 years ago. Twice NP has directly caused problems for me at work because of his idle BS talk. He made a half-assed comment about a product which he later had to retract but not after causing me grief!

I like trying new restaurants but I will never eat in the BoardWalk, no matter how good it is.

geffkane

forced to listen to him at work and I find him really annoying. he is a small minded,uninformed small town right wing prig. he pretends that he is approacing issues as a "common" man but he is just lazily unknowledgeable. I can see him going into anti foreigner mode big time soon. and 96fm plays the same songs all the time. every day I hear Human, Run, Greatest Day and now Just Dance at least two times each. they are totally predicable and risk averse.

cork1

there should be a law against him being on the radio. all he does is stir s**t!

grenache

I like the fact that he's opinionated and likes to voice his regularly, it makes for entertaining radio. Whatever you say about his show, its not boring! Much better morning radio than stuff on the other local radio stations in Munster, of that i'm sure.

His show can very entertaining at times,more times then its bland,where excactly is his restaurant?is it expensive?

It probably does, for people at his level.
