The Pat Kenny Show

Technocentral

What's the guess this will be prosecuted like street littering ie no one ever will be!

randy hickey

I feel bad saying this, but I always switch off now when I hear Bobby Kerr coming on as a presenter on whatever show.

How do the powers that be in Newstalk not realise that his voice is aural torture.

Again, I'm sorry, but I just can't bear it.

Switching off.

This Leitrim 'initiative' is ridiculously complex...too much time on the councillors hands to dream up stuff like this. Just police the hot (sh1t) spots regularly and hit people with fines ffs. But, like said above, doesn't really happen in Ireland.

Cole

What's the reason for this? Bobby asks Pete the vet...it's a lack of fcuking enforcement of existing laws, Bobby

Everyone will be "promoted" up one. Shane Coleman goes into Pat's slot, then Ciara Kelly gets joined by Andrea Gilligan. Bobby Kerr takes the lunchtime slot :pac:

Eddie Wilson from Ryanair having a completely free run here...a mini lecture. Bobby relying on the texters to counter him. Get back quick, Pat

Christ, don't give them ideas. They'll have to go all out because Pat and Moncrieff are keeping the station together with the current schedule.

Tell me how

I wonder is OTB still doing ok for them although I'd expect it's numbers have taken quite a hit over the last year with the way sport in general has been impacted.

I haven't heard Kieran Cuddihy much on the Hard shoulder but when I have heard him, I have found him pretty good.

Similarly, I think Gavin Reilly could be in line to get a full time gig the next time a key slot opens up. If he wants it that is.

Yeah I think Gavin is very good, I enjoy his Sunday show, I don't listen at all to Kieran C now he's very weak for that slot imo.

I always liked him when he stood-in on the Breakfast programme, but he seems to be drifting into a tabloid style of radio now.

I only hear about 30 minutes of his programme before I switch over to Radio 1, so this may not be a fair criticism, although the other day I heard him whipping-up frustration over a fairly innocuous satement by NPHET ('a few weeks isn't a big deal in the scale of a pandemic'), stating that only someone with a huge government pension would say this, text 51551 if you agree or disagree.

I'm not one of these people who are for the canonisation of Tony Holohan, I agree that NPHET is often detached and unrealistic, but he took the comment completely out of context.

It's a pity to hear him going down this route. I suppose he has to maximise listener engagement if he wants to keep the gig, and that can be easily measured, but it's not good radio. He had far more interesting and original opinions when he was a stand-in guy.

Cole

Thank God Pat's back...no more messing around with stand-ins.

Are you allowed say “spaffed up the wall” on national radio?

Some of the stories there give more credence to that Forbes article the Stripe lads, and the Rubber Bandits were up in arms about.

‘People sleeping on the landing as it was the safest spot in case a bullet came in the window’.

The lad who wrote that article was from Dublin apparently. Be interesting to know whether he thinks Limerick or his home town is a more dangerous place to live in.

Is it a bird, is it a plane...no it's Antigen Man! Valid points from Pat, but Jaysus it just gets tiresome.

it started when driving up through Laois , maybe 2007, and seeing big billboards stating 'This is Parlon Country'

He then proceeded to lose his seat

Full of it.

Tries to do all the corporate talk but not clever enough to carry it through.

Heard him on the radio a lot in the past few months, advocating for the needs of construction workers to get back to work for their mental health. Funny, I'd never heard him taking an interest in mental health before. I look forward to him continuing to fight into the future for the wellbeing of construction workers and their rights

Pat entertaining this chancer selling her house through a draw.

Running it through a UK site, 70000 tickets at £10 a ticket :rolleyes:

I thought that this practice of private raffles was illegal in this country. Maybe this explains why a UK based website is being used. There is absolutely no independent oversight to ensure that everything is above board and that the whole thing isn’t a scam. How would anyone know how many tickets are sold.
I also resent the way Beaumont is being used as a tear-jerker motive to buy tickets. I’m surprised at Pat entertaining and promoting this sort of dubious opportunism.
I won’t be buying any tickets.

I like Bill Hughes and the movie slot, but if you haven't seen the movies or read the books, then it's a risky listen...stop giving away the endings, Bill!

I did like his use of "the local go boy"...haven't heard that in a while.

if they sell all the tickets, it's about €823000 , minus €41150 to Beaumont , leaves €780000 for a house and old camping facilities in Donegal, on less than 2 acres !! Less fees for the site running it.

Ah come on.

If you've not seen Dangerous Liaisons in the 30 years its been out and don't want to listen to Bill Hughes take on it in case it spoils it for you I would suggest switching off the segment.

I was only half listening to this but did Pat touch on the inheritance tax implications? I assume they are doing it so they wont end up paying a load of inheritance tax on the house?

Ah here...

I like listening to Bill's (and others) take on a movie because it might encourage me to watch a movie I've previously ignored or maybe not heard of...switching it off would defeat the purpose. It's pretty easy to avoid 'giving it away' or offer a spoiler alert, like many reviewers do.

But I still like Bill.
