The assumed intelligence of the 300 000 plus listeners of the show is not relevant to the fact of them listening to the show.

That one may not like the fact that 300 000 plus people do listen to the show most days, or query their intelligence for so doing, is irrelevant.

I question the intelligence of so many tv shows that i don't own a tv. That doesn't take from the fact that Big brother or all those shows which genuflect at that oxymoron, celebrity culture, are not profitable, and will stay on air because if it.

Just because our ego is such that, because we don't like something, we assume that anyone who does like it is a moron, and because hundreds of thousands of people are morons, the show in question will be discontinued, is neither logical or likely.

i listen to the show most days (some days i enjoy it some days i dont) and by the looks of it most of the haters listen too.
in all fairness the thread has become bitter and twisted and nothing to do with the show itself its just a personal attack on gerry, and lads, this has become very very boring
there are far worse dj`s in the country that could be highlighted but the personal jibes are a very poor way to put across an argument

i am not affiliated to rte or gerry ryan or anyone else before i`m hit with a barrage of abuse , i just believe in fair play at the end of the day

I don't think so, some of us have standards.

Extrapolate that culture into politics and you have a very good reason this country is swirling around the plughole.

Pat Kenny is a good example, you never of him ligging at events and constantly plugging his family.

That's the difference between someone with a bit of moral integrity and balance rather than a loud mouthed ligger who takes everything, and shamelessly plugs the people he gets the largess from.

One rule of business, never put yourself in a compromising situation if you want to be taken seriously.

Old cliché= No such thing as a free lunch.:cool:

Yes, most people would given the opportunity and that is percisely why a public broadcasting organistion like RTE has programme guidelines on presenters and gifts, commerical promotions and product placement. It is also has an equal opportunity policy to promote "fair play" in its recruiting procedures and prevent people using their influence to get their children jobs at the expenses of others who don't have friends in high places.

Given how RTE is funded, I think people have every right to complain if someone appears to be flaunting these rules.

All employers have a legal obligation to be an "equal opportunities" employer, and in this regard ORETE is no different from any other employer.

Does anyone else really get the pip when ORETE keeps telling us it is "an equal opportunities employer" when the alternative is to break the law?

Also, "ORETE, supporting the arts" is another example of ORETE patting itself on the back.

I think ORETE should runs ads for employment, after which they play the message "ORETE - we play our talent so much over the odds that our competitors would be fools to offer them even 20% of what we pay - ORETE, flushing your licence fee down the toilet"

Don't think so.
And "Didn't have an arse in his trousers"???
Definitely never the case.
He constantly brags about his "Fore-Dor" being the richest man in Clontarf and telling him constantly that "Life is all about money".
This man would never have let GR's trousers go arseless.:p

The thing is he's as far removed from real money as most of his listeners.
He makes ten times as much as the average working(or not working) stiff that listens to his show but that doesnt mean he's actually rich.
People who are truly wealthy earn ten times and more what he makes so although he may impress the average God-fearing paddy in the street he's really no big shakes and that makes his boasting sound all teh more naff.

Fago!

A wee bit off topic, I hear he's getting a new tv show.

please don't batter me Degsy.

Couldn't believe that when I read it in a newspaper yesterday. Who in their right mind would give Gerry Ryan another TV show?

A well off pall of mine refuse to get a TV license because of Gerry Ryan.
Why give money to an organization paying that a hole?

Those that agreed to his contract that he is allowed one TV series a year....:(

I gave up questioning the reasoning behind many of RTE's decisions many years ago.

We don't have to watch it tho...:)

The answer to your question is obvious, and I hope your "pall" enjoys his stay in Mountjoy or whatever prison he'll be sent to.

We pay a compulsory licence fee that allows ORETE to funds the talents enormous salaries. If ORETE were a normal commercial broadcaster we could vote with our feet. By not listening, we deprive advertising revenue from those shows.

Gerry Ryan has 300 000 listeners who make his show commercially viable, and the futile gesture of your "pall", of not buying a TV license, due to not liking Gerry Ryan's radio show, just smacks of immaturity and lack of thinking it through.

I dont watch this a hole, but I have to pay for him to get his inflated wages.

I didnt borrow during the boom and I still have to pay for the bank bailout.

Pall is very rich, clever and mature and is absolutely right IMO.
He supports the Arts but not a holes.

Jesus is this guy for real? I'm sure he hasn't given a real name, but I'm sure there are people listening who know who he is. He's talking about how his wife's sex drive has gone down since she got the menopause and how he hooked up with a prostitute but nothing happened. Gerry asked him if his wife knows and he said "No no, she gets very depressed"....eh well I'm sure she'll know now!

jabus when i heard that guy talking to gerry i thought it was me
thank goodness i hadnt got my phone

I listened to most of the show today (I tuned out for the knob heads - I can't stand them).

Enjoyed most of it. Didn't enjoy when the man from Cork was talking and Mr. Ryan began a deep throathy thingy into the mike - it put the man off talking and put me off as a listener. Secondly I do think they should have sent a "roving reporter" into the passport office to get a real feel for whats happening there.

Mr. Ryan didn't push his wealth or friends or family down our necks which was a pleasant surprise - I'll try and listen again tomorrow.

What in the name of god was all that stuff today with the haunted house, it was pretty obvious they were cutting off the phone line to the idiots in the house, imagine getting paid the amount he gets for that sh!te....he got a good half hour out of that particular part of the show today (playing eerie music & trying to get through on the phone to the crowd in that house) then when he did get through he was trying to talk to that spanner of a ghost hello hello hello hello hello hello hello..............ffs!

I wonder what sex related issues he'll be banging on about tomorrow or this week, last week it was massage parlours & 60 year old lads ringing in to tell us how self masturbation was'nt the same as a womans touch & thats why he goes to massage parlours despite the fact he was a married man, then it was two married women on about how they love one another & they were now lesbians, what'll it be his week i wonder, probably be back to his favourite topic sex at teenage discos, its being 3 weeks since that topic was discussed now....its due to be brought up again.

Gerry say "yeah but people like you and me can mantain it after we come..hur hurr"
Silence from the doctor...

It would'nt be the 1st time a doctor on as a guest speaker on that show was silent as a result of his comments, the doctor from Embarressing Bodies was on there one morning too & one of the questions he asked her was 'Did she ever feel turned on when she had to examine a fit young man down below'. I dont know how he gets away with that sort of chat on a national radio station's morning show, i reckon he actually thinks he's funny.
