Sweet Jaysus!!!

I was recovering from a night up listening to the Packers being mauled by Minnesota on 620WTMJ when i tuned in to the Mooney show today Tuesday 06/10.

Now, what I heard was that person Brenda Donoghue at some promotion at Arnotts for God knows what, but the Fureys were involved.


I was subjected to a bell voiced diatribe from Ms Donohue who must have the most unattractive delivery in the history of Irish Radio, and that's saying something.

All I can say is this.

How is this person still employed at the front end of Irish radio?

Never heard anything a cringeworthy or puerile as this totally dumb and dumber offering.

Mooney- dump this one.


You know you have to.

Is that the stupid bag with a bit of a lisp?

Calling for someone to lose their job? Classy...

Inferring something I didn't say?

Not too clever.

This whorey old chestnut comes up on your radar quite a bit FB. I just don't think that your the target market of her pieces. I switch off (or stick my socks in my ears when she's wheeled out). But for me that's more to do with her schtick than her address. For a producer I'd imagine she's a handy trick to have in the bag for certain items. The kind of items that require the corralling of troupes of the great unwashed into a position that they're oblivious to the fact that they're going out on radio air and can therefore get on with the subject at hand without being stagestruck. Two past items spring to mind: the Annie musical auditions and something to do with firemen.
When there's a goal to be achieved and the public are being used to get the item there then Mooney wheels out the howitzer. You know what you're gonna get both in content and presentation and they know the job will be jobbed. As soon as Del says "today Bre...". then it's up the dial to Moncrieff.

Of the mess that is the Derek Mooney show, she is far from the worst. She's pretty good at reading the situation, and shows a lot more tact and feeling for ordinary people than Derek himself.

As usual, Humber, you are a rock of common sense.

I apologise for taking such a skewed and unconstructive view on the prog.

I was tired and had a bit of a "head" and the woman was bellowing in the focking background at the top of her leathery lungs to a listless crowd in front of a group of has beens.

I took a swipe at my Roberts with a lob wedge I had in the kitchen, luckily only a glancing blow.

Will accept your advice.

Tired and a bit of a "head" made me laugh. I feel that way today.

No need to apologise FB, I fully get where your coming from. The PYE has spun that flapping, noisy, googly at me once or twice while I was off guard too or was using a radio that I was unfamiliar with so therefore slower off the mark in twidding the dials and I've had much the same reaction as your good self on more than one occasion.
But now and again I have noticed (not heard) her worth in the grander scheme of things.



Previous post I likened her to a Howitzer but her address is more like a Katyusha.
