<snip> I really cannot fathom how anyone could enjoy his unique sense of "humour". A collection of noises, shouting and acting the muppet. How is this entertainment? And before anyone asks, its an office radio.

It's an absolutely brutal show - and now he's going to be hosting the Irish version of that pile of muck 'Take Me Out'. National cringe-fest.

Foley on the radio is like onions on a pizza. Neither belong there.

I think your life needs more substance if you have to start a thread calling someone a c**t off the radio. Get out more perhaps.

Think he's funny as hell myself. I'm usually laughing my head off when they're on a link.

Thing is he knows loads of people hate him and he doesn't care!

I find him funny. He has a silly sense of humour like me. He is excellent at what he does.

There's no need to call him a cúnt.

Sad fact is, there is actually nobody GOOD on the radio. Listening to radio in this country is exactly ther same as my womanising days, it invariably involves going with the best of a bad bunch.
I long for a radio presenter that just plays the f'ucking songs and doesn't try to be a stand comedian, i'm talking to you Dermot 98fm knob jockey and Jim, so irritating they named him twice, Jim. Just press play and shut the f'uck up, please!!!

That would be better if it consisted of a professional hit-man chasing z-listers around Ireland and hopefully shooting them.

He's joking.

The same as somebody jokes about the size of their penis.

He jokes about the size of his ego.

That's all.
