Marty Morrissey on with Derek...

what's behind this outing?

Came in in the middle and thought there's somebody who sounds very like Marty Morrissey. Then I realised - IT IS Marty Morrissey.:D

Is Mooney really that naive? NOBODY on Simon Cowell's staff, including Newcastle's Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee, were UNAWARE of the fact that she was a good singer..

I think he meant the crowd. Especially that now famous girl who rolled her eyes at her on the video.

Ant'n'Dec didnt seem too surprised.

Derek is reading out that script about the Lonely Planet guides as if he's never seen it before, never mind read through it to prepare for the show. :rolleyes:

Maybe that bloke would send Derek to Borneo for a few months

They are going waaaaaay over the top about how good a singer Susan Boyle is... She's a good singer but she's not a great singer.. similar to Mary Byrne.

She's in a different class to Mary Byrne, SuBo is a far better singer.

Mooney is going over the top with the coverage of the show, though. It's like an extended advert.

She is better than Mary Byrne, more melodic some how.

Did I just invent a word?

News to me, I never got word that I had been allowed off the list

Mike Murphy used to be on Radio 1 around this time of day, he was far superior to Mooney. Sadly, he will now be on RTE's list of "people they no longer like" following his letter to the Irish Times.

sudzs

Lets start a "Bring Back Rattlebag" campaign!

I doubt they would have ever even mentionined Subo, never mind Mary Burrun!

this Cricket Jersey launch (with O'Neils rolling out a couple of Irish players for interview) is little more than QVC on the Radio.

Ah yes, Mike and the Arts Show. I remember a Scrap Saturday sketch where Mike was at an arts exhibition (accompanied by an actually informed arty person) when he mistook a fire extinguisher hanging on the wall for an exhibit.

Dermot Morgan's description of the 'art deco' extinguisher was hilarious.

Don't think he'd like it too much, they haven't a decent Eurovision record:p and to top it all, the locals don't seem to be his type.

MJ23

Shock absorber bras, and now the one hit wonder Tequila song. Oh my god, this has to stop.

"And would athletes have no need for a sports bra"... :eek:

I'd say Damien O'Reilly is gonna give Mooney a box in the jaw the next time he is covering for Joe Duffy.

well done Derek.

Was Derek using the mobile while driving??

I always reach for the nearest box of Dairy Milk after a day out saving lives.

I'm off now. Derek isn't a bad oul skin but I'm allergic to his sidekick.

She makes me want to throw sharp things at innocent people.

You just HAVE to listen to todays' show intro when it comes up on the iPlayer.

He waffles on about The Georgian era........the Edwardian era..........the Elizabethan era.........

Culminates (naturally and predictably) with, vomit bags at the ready .....The Jedwardian era. Whatever clown wrote that deserves to fail their primary school exam when they do it in a few years time.

Seriously, a grown man obsessed by this pair of tw*ts............oh f**k this I'm worse to have left the feckin' dial unaltered ......'til now.

Thank you thank you. I have not the control of the wireless dial but my good god that was epic extracting the urine.

artful_codger

his obsession with those two lads is beyond weird, reminds me of Michael Jacksons obsession with McAuley Culkin. I hope there are no sleepovers involved.

creepy

funkhouser

What a noisy, messy God awful show it is today. I can't hear anything. It sounds like there is a billion voices wittering on about Jedward and Eurovision. I had to turn it off.

They're giving out about Englebert Humperdink? Class is permanent my friends and Derek, the Eurovision, despite what you might think respects class. Jedward, as musicians, have none of his class.

Jedward are children's / young teenagers' entertainers, they're good at it but that's all they are. I really wish the Mooney Show would stop holding them up to be in any way culturally significant. That intro was nauseating. If it was done in jest I wouldn't comment but it wasn't. There was a level of seriousness behind it.

The whole of RTE seems to be obsessed with Jedward. Mooney has bent over backwards to accomodate the pair. Tubridy and Colm Hayes are equally as bad, rarely does a tubridy show pass without some mention of them, he even promoted them on BBC radio. It must be sickening for bands who are trying to get publicity to see RTE involved in such tacky fare. It will be interesting to see if Mooney will give the same amount of radio time to next year's Eurovision act.

Itssoeasy

Mooney let it slip(as if it wasn't obvious enough) that jedward are good for viewing figures and good for revenue.

plasmaguy

Maybe if RTE presenters say Jedward often enough, people might think they are cool or something.

MJ23

This has to stop. Why cant Mooney obsess about those 2 weirdos on his own time? He's like a little schoolgirl sometimes. Is it true that one of the Lucan twins is gay?

The broadcaster has set a rate of €10,000 for a 30-second spot in the ad breaks of the final, which takes place in Baku, Azerbaijan, on May 26th.
However, the prices will drop to €5,000 per spot if Jedward are knocked out in the midweek semi-final.

I heard the intro to yesterday's Eurovision Special show and I thought someone in the Mooney must be on the Peruvian Marching Powder. And Brenda's story during the week about the world's biggest Bullock, to quote made Father Ted look like a documentary.

Derek not at the helm today, might be less of the mutual black-slapping perhaps?

Tuned in late and was subjected to the unbearable Richard so quickly switched off again! :rolleyes:

The other day, whoever was doing the sports updates (I think it was Greg Allen) mentioned Eoin Rheinisch, who was taking part in an Olympic qualifier.

He mentioned that Rheinisch had been in first place the last time with three men to go but had finished fourth. Derek says, "What was doing?!", with the reply being "Canoe slalom," before Derek ask, "I know, but what was he *doing* to get passed out by three fellas?"

It then fell to Greg, or whoever it was, to point out that in the even the competitors take turns to complete individually, with the best time winning.

MJ23

It'll be all about the build up to the sausagefest song contest this week. I'd say Derek is marking off the days on his Jedward calendar.
