Is Mr Hoarse called it a day, then? Not surprised, that must have been a strain.

How about they all go on operation transformation. A few weeks with Dr Ava and they would never eat again.

If you're anything like your username, then I reckon you could eat away to your heart's content!

Today's show certainly was of PPI award-winning calibre

Today's show (well, the little bits I heard of it) was a pure disgrace!

First, Joe screeching at high-doh at someone having the TEMERITY to call his snide remark sarcasm (I thought the caller put it very politely, actually, what I heard was positively dripping in sarcasm). Then a while later, slagging off and practically abusing another caller when he accused - no, not even accused, just remarked about the fact that - the mainstream media wouldn't entertain his story/report about tree-cutting by the council (at least I think that was what his story was - between driving, and nearly crashing at the sheer obnoxiousness of Joe, I can't clearly remember!). Thank goodness I couldn't listen in to any more of the show, or I might have burst a blood vessel.

You wouldn't get it in a playschool. How is that tolerated, and even apparently encouraged, on NATIONAL RADIO?

And worse, why do we all still tune in?

For the first time ever, I feel an email coming on, to the head of programming of RTE or whoever might take a bit of notice, to let them know that one person anyway thinks that Joe ain't fit to be let loose on the airwaves any more.

:mad:

And to think that Lilian Smith is no longer broadcasting. Something wrong there.

Thats why they are concentrating on the smokers instead.

Joe's interest in differently weighted people might have something to do with that guy who Miriam fills in for being sick. Unlike Joe to take advantage of someone else's misfortune...

I'm sure he thinks to himself, 'I'm too big for radio'.

ps: Miriam and Tom McGurk!?

What would John Murray have to do with morbidly obese??? He's a fine upstanding fairly slim guy, last I saw of him anyway! (with a severe dose of arthritis if memory serves - he wrote an article about it in the IT a couple of years back - hope he's ok, he's been gone a VERY long time now......)

Philip Boucher-Hayes for the gig - end of story, mannerly, educated, interesting, sounds very interested, respectful and most of all an excellent choice for this radio slot.

I have a feeling that PBH may not want to do the show on a permanent basis having to listen to endless whinging, the entitlement classes and "what ever you are having yourself" (thats a regular quote from another well paid weekend presenter), as he (PBH) may end up as described below...still not excuse for Duffy`s behaviour.

The set.... the set..... the set is all wet Joe.

Sure... sure.... sure

ThisRegard

Joe never likes when his luvvie friends are criticised does he.

JM Skipton

What would a AA roadwatch person know about dance?

Dan Jaman

Riverdance thirty-five times?
Mad, Ted, that's just mad.

You see... young people are wearing tights these days.

artful_codger

On their feet, leaving early?

Did he say Yvonne`s line dropped dead?

ThisRegard

Honestly, why is this even a segment ? A critic gives their review, people disagree, move fupping on. Why is Joe entertaining this nonsense ?

spank_inferno

So.... in other news....

... dance shows makes old ladies 'ginies tingle.
