    Running out of petrol in a car...if only cars had a gauge and warning light in them to indicate the level of fuel to prevent it from happening.

    Ah yeah, but what about when the gauge fails.

    Neven Maguire, again. Any news on the twins?

    I always work off 2 systems, reset the trip computer on each fill too, that way if gauge fails you should know roughly when a fill is due :D

    Makes sense. My Cortina doesnt have a trip computer however. It barely has a computer of any sort. I think the transistor was only in the design stages when my car was put together.

    I'd love to film a sketch involving D'Arcy attempting to work a car that has a load of computers in it. Picture him trying to reset the trip computer, but accidentally deactivating the electronic handbrake and crashing into the car in front, and much more hilarity.

    No. Sorry now that I didn't.The fact that they've pulled it means it obviously caused embarrassment to RD and RTE. If they had any balls they'd have left it there and issued an apology. But no, brush it under the carpet and pretend it never happened. They phased it out. on the first playback it sounded fine. the next day it sounded choppy like a bad Joe Duffy phone line. The day after that it was gone.

    maybe someone should write a letter to 'Arthur' asking him why was it cut...

    Nah, waste of time sending anything to RTE.

    Like the HSE it gobbles up everything thrown in its direction,until not even light itself escapes to inform the sender of even the slightest response.


    Moral of the story- don't waste your time and bandwidth .

    Perhaps not. Ray finished today's show saying tomorrow he will have a few phone interviews but will mainly be playing music. Obviously Ray and his "team" are winding down early for Christmas.

    I'm assuming that seeing as his show is sponsored by Volkswagen he's been sorted out with a free car to replace the old Golf he always went on about and was too miserable to replace.

    Ray adjusting the air-con and oops wrong button just opened the boot on the Stillorgan dual carriageway. Someone else must have been in the car and changed the setup since he last used it. :)

    You make a very valid point. I never listened to him on Today FM and have been less than impressed with him on Radio 1. I now rarely listen to R1 during daytime. But despite what listeners may think, as long as the big wigs in RTE continue to allow him on air and continue to pay his more than generous salary he ain't going to refuse it, and in all honesty who would in his shoes. Nice work if you can get it!

    Jaysus, Ray has really let himself go. He mustn't have had a run for a few days.

    I think Ray has volunteered to be the tech guy on Radio 1 tonight. It's a shared broadcast between R1 and Gold but they've made a total liathroidí of the last two news bulletins.

    "The staff can take off for a number of weeks whenever they want"

    Sounds like the sort of contract that D'Arcy has tbh.

    Just wondering, in that recent BAI judgement about D'Acry and Colm O'Gorman pontificating to us about the 8th Amendment, was it clarified as to whether O'Gorman was speaking in a personal capacity or as the head of Amnesty Ireland?

    What was that about, i missed that!

    I couldn't believe that when i heard that he's off again!

    Makes me believe was the show on Sat recorded?

    How about we keep track of Ray's holidays for the year? Just to see how many days he actually does take. :P

    We'll call it 5 so far for this week.

    How many holidays is standard especially for a 'DJ' according to yer man the other day, 25 standard days was mentioned. Apart from his successor Anton Savage, who's also off, nobody else has taken time off, unless Ray+Jenny taking 'time off to look after the kids' :rolleyes:

    For D'Arcy of for O'Gorman?


    This whole deal with D'Arcy moving from TodayFM must be a nightmare for RTE. He's caused ructions with the unions over bringing his own family with him. They got rid of Brendan O'Connor to make way for D'Arcy, only to find out that D'Arcy cant do the job anywhere near as well. And he takes off every second week, leaving them stuck with having to replace not only him, but also requiring them to replace his missus as well.

    D'Arcy moving to RTE has certainly proved to be a great opportunity........ for Dave Fanning.
