    Seriously, can someone remove him from the DJ box? He's the most irritating DJ on the radio (although I find most of them irritating but him more-so).

    Who is that gob-****e that he yaps to all the time? His show is highly ridiculous and they talk complete and utter rubbish for the duration.

    Please stop the pain!

    Isn't that what's done on all radio chat shows though?

    Why not try a new radical way of thinking, like I don't know, maybe try changing the radio station.

    In much the same way can we not get you off boards?

    and there is this magic thing you can do OP, its called change station. or listen to mp3's, podcasts, audiobooks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,047 ✭✭✭Pippy1976


    I did... but the odd time I catch him on the radio when I'm in a shop or someone's car / house.

    He's an idiot.

    Eh, excuse me? I'm not sure it's up to you to suggest that someone remove me from Boards... I haven't said anything wrong, this facility is here for people to chat about stuff - like I've just done.

    Not impressed. Also, see post above re changing the station. I'm not an idiot.

    The off button usually gets him off my radio. But then i miss him so i turn it back on. He's a bit of craic, and i suppose you get him or you don't.

    also radio forum....>>>>>>>

    well obviously you should just hide in a locked room for 2 and a half hours a day. just to be sure make sure its an airless vacuum to avoid any chance of soundwaves reaching you


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 588 ✭✭✭t'bear


    Go online and watch the 3 of them in studio, he seems to be the one donk who likes to stream himself and two helpers to the t'interworld. You are spoilt for choice however for aural pleasure on the airwaves


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭danniemcq


    Oh and for the record i like Ray Foley!

    just a bit of fun for your lunchtime and all that, nothing to serious

    Hmmmmm.....

    Doesn't mean it's a positive thing. When did the double-DJ thing start to be de rigeur.

    A good DJ should be able to / confident enough to hold a show on their own. He's obviously got nothing worthwhile to say so needs a sarcastic back-up to help him out.


    Isn't that what's done on all radio chat shows though?

    he is also quite rude to people that call in to the show... a terrible terrible dj

    i listen to mp3's in the car... most irish radio stations just recycle the same 10 songs over n over each day anyways


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 620 ✭✭✭Laika1986


    Also he's terrible on Take me out. Now Take me out is a terrible show in itself but in comparison to Paddy Mcguinness he's a disgrace


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭danniemcq

    so if you don't want that don't ring him.

    If he singled out people then yes there would be a issue but seeing its random and seems to be the majority of the time then what do you expect when you get through?

    Callers are free to do the same to him too!

    its like going to a mass and complaining that the priest is praying


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,397 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    Why don't you change the station OP?.....or if that doesn't work you could y'know change the station?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,296 ✭✭✭✭gimmick


    OMGZ. Radio personality abuse. Report. Ban. Imprison.

    Foley is stuck on our radio at work everyday. His show is awful. He is not even slightly funny.

    But at least he is getting paid for all the above. Those who actually enjoy his antics have no excuse.

    I agree with OP that he is a thundering clown who panders to dic­kheads.


    So as a result I listen to Newstalk.
