    How come the Ray Foley show starts at 11am now? Is it to put Darcy directly against Tubbers as he will be on 9-11 from Monday week? I hadn't heard him for a long time until today. I can't believe what passes for entertainment these days!!:confused:

    I've been tuning in to Today FM the past week while I've been off work for the first time in ages. It looks like it's just while D'Arcy is away for 2 weeks on holidays that they're doing the change in timetables. 3 hours would probably be too much for Neil Delamere, though he's doing a good job filling in for Ray this week.

    Ray Foley on the other hand.....AAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHH!!!!!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad: I better not start or I'll break my laptop! Let's just say I'm not a fan!

    I couldn't agree more. As I said earlier I haven't heard his show for ages and I can't believe how childish it was today. I endured about ten minutes. It's woeful rubbish.

    Well.... yeah.

    You clearly are too close minded to understand the show's humour and accept that people (160,000 people to be exact *more listeners than you have*) like that type of radio. There's a huge market for his style. Obviously there is otherwise Today Fm would make no money in that slot and he'd have no job.

    That figure will drop significantly next month when all the kids go back to school.

    Ray Foley wouldn't annoy me half as much if he could take criticism. He's had issues with Boards before hasn't he? Along with another forum I used to frequent. And anything bad that's written about him on one of the Today FM (think it was You Tube?) pages used to be taken down while other DJ's left the bad comments up. Not sure if this is still the case but it used to be. That's why I dislike him so much, he can give but he can't take.

    Surprised he isn't on here already crying and accusing us of being jealous :rolleyes:

    I'd say so boxy. But that's always happened *I think*. Still miles better than anything on lunchtime.

    To be fair, would you like if people were always calling you a useless ****? :pac:

    Plenty of DJs get abuse on a daily basis. All part of the job they're in. No need to throw his toys out of the pram over it ;)


    Any links to why he was banned? I could do with a laugh today :P

    Not sure exactly, but it was for "spamming", whereas I saw no spam in his post history. He had like 20 posts, 4 of which were here defending himself. Nothin interesting tbh. Not really worth the search.

    When you put yourself up there on National Radio and regularly take snide swipes at others on air, you should be able to take it too.

    I agree, but I'd say it's not just him. He's just vocal about it. Nikki Hayes is the same. She got her friend to give out to a boardsie friend of mine because she was heavily criticised by said boardsie.

    I got the impression that Nikki was 'planting' the stories about herself in the papers via a journalist 'friend'?
