    I was actually a little serious. Just dont beg for it and they might give you something other than a slagging. It's probably the only way you'll get anywhere unless someone has collected them all.

    JP finally went to the pilots seat instead of someone else doing it today. Bad thing is no podcasts for a fortnight. Balls.

    How'd he do running the desk? I've a feeling he's being groomed for a full time show in the future...

    Shame about no podcasts. Won't be able to listen in any day this week and would love to even get the show content as podcast with nothing extra.

    Guess I'll just use the listen back feature, but still....

    He's done the show loads of times. It's been a long time since they got someone else in when Ray is out

    Well the podcast thing was said last week and it was kind of a "a don't think so." answer so things might have changed since last Thursday. He did great as far as I could hear,no dead air and no darcy moments but Phil Cawley(sp) was there in the studio if things went arse ways.

    Yes I know he has but they normally get someone else in to look after the desk which I don't think JP has ever done on a live show.(open to correction)

    You are right there..

    Suppose they couldn't justify the cost of having to have someone on the desk for JP if he is to be the regular fill in.

    Well I doubt it's cost related tbh. I think it's Gavin that's their sound engineer, he always runs the desk for OB's and for some of the less experienced hosts.

    I reckon it's just that JP has upskilled through making his Friday show. I remember on one podcast Ray was talking him through the equipment and then told him to ask one of the lads to help him out with the desk and things.

    Ive seen a few engineers do it including Dempsey jr on one occasion;(via the webcams), and JP has been in today fm for a few years so it's hardly lack of knowledge, it was more a confidence issue if you aren't used to using it day in day out IMO.

    I've seen Ann handle the changeover from the news to a batch of songs.

    I actually don't mind Jedward but they've derailed what was shaping up to be a good first show back with Ray, Anne & JP, would rather they had been guests tomorrow!

    Soooo good to have him back. :)

    I didn't realise how much I missed him from the airwaves until today. Great first show back. Could maybe have been better without Jedward, but I suppose I'll get over it. :P

    Gauntlet today now. :)

    Nice list of off topic things by "Una Healy" at the start of the show yesterday. The PC factor just works every time in the gauntlet.

    He mentioned Boards before in a not-so-pleasant way, nobody seems to care much!

    He should be able to take the rough with the smooth.
    He's in the public spotlight and therefore he's there to be shot at as long as it's not about his personal life/family

    To be fair to him, I think he generally takes legitimate criticism on board, it just the gimps that complain over stuff like the gauntlet this week that he really hates.

    This is what it's reduced to now is it, ten minutes stories about his baby burping and sleeping? Between him and D'Arcy I'm rapidly beginning to dislike what was my favourite station!

    Yeah... he'd want to be careful alright. But I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for a while. In fairness, it's only his first week back after having the child.

    I know, it's just today was the first time I listened to the show all week since he came back and within 15 minutes he was already telling a very boring story (babies do have entertaining stories sometimes, this wasn't one of them!) so I just though, ugh, is this the only subject I'll hear now?!

    Ooh, I don't know about that all the time wnolan. Don't get me wrong, I love the show and all that but he can get very defensive, overly so, when faced with criticism. You're right though, he has every right to have a pop at people like the moaners after this weeks Gauntlet but a couple of times I've sent in texts and he's read them on air, once he called me a muppet and another time called me a tool. I was being sarcastic once so fair enough it didn't come across in the text but another time I questioned Nordy Eoin's qualifications as a movie critic and wanted to know how he could criticise films having not seen them etc. My word he went off on one on me. Didn't help that JP read my text out in a really snotty tone I suppose :o

    And I think anyone here who follows him on twitter will know what I mean when I say he can't take a joke. He has flat-out abused people on it. Unbecoming for a man of his public standing I would think. @rayfoleyshow I wouldn't be surprised if that's why the twitter account is for the show only now. :confused:
