Not like Ray to miss out on an opportunity to lecture people about sugar.

dr eva was encouraging some sugar/sweet stuff in a diet which would have got ray very angry but in rays eyes she redeemed herself with the porridge.

Ray forgot to ask how tall Bowie was.

Good old ageism :rolleyes:

So now Ray is stepping on Joes turf, current guest wants taxpayers to pony up €110k pa per patient for medication

Gergiev

Ah Jaysus, Ray - sensitive moment as DF selects a track to commemorate Bowie and he still can't hit the right button...

€90 million a year was the figure being bandied about. Huge amount and just one of many demands on the health service that keep dragging it down. The one thing to be said in it's favour is that this drug would mainly be used to treat younger people. Maybe we should pay for it and cut back on drugs / treatments for the elderly and I say that as one looking towards the latter.

Can't believe you posted that.

Just let the 'elderly' die quietly , is that it?

Bad mistake there Barry as no doubt you have by now realised.

It is not possible to supply infinite funding to all patients. It's common to weigh costs vs. how many expected years of healthy life the patient is expected to get

I'm well aware of that.

Is it common to do that, wouldn't have thought so

Good grief, why cant Ray press the right button.DF told him the track number and the CD, and he just had to mess it up.He should be familiar with the studio controls by now surely.He is just not the technical type is he?

I could just imagine Fanning saying to himself, what an idiot!

Fanning is tiresome just listening to him talking so fast doing a show, but when he is an improvement over whom is there already, it says a lot about Darcy.

He didnt even thank Fanning while he was in the studio for filling him for him last week, I said that to myself as I was listening.I bet someone reminded him of it during the break.

Sean Hughes among others, really take the P out of him.

When Marty Morrissey filled in during the time when they were waiting for D'Arcy to switch teams, he did a great job. He's liked, he's positive and upbeat, he doesnt have any agenda, he's already a member of staff and he can use the damned buttons. It was a no brainer, unless you work in RTE management and actually have no brain.

If Ray considers himself a professional broadcaster, and I presume he does, then he should keep practicing until he can actually use them. It's kind of sad that he should actually need to train on the controls at this stage to be honest.

Agreed. Morrissey was engaged and interested in the people he was meeting.

Unfortunately Darcy seems only to get animated if they share the same (very limited) world-view as himself.

Regarding the use of controls, it was charming when Val Joyce used to do it as you knew he was trying but it was all just beyond him.

Not so with RD who just seems irritated he has to do this kind of thing for himself...

Quite common, cost benefit analysis.

If we could treat pancreatic cancer but the drug cost 2 million a year and 1000 people in Ireland suffered from it it would be impossible to justify a 2 billion spend for only 1000 people. Extreme example but not far from reality.
