Seems personal with him, maybe upset he was snubbed by them when he approached them volunteering to run in an election for them.

But when Ray mentions RUN, everyone hides...

Up 16,000 listeners book on book, 23,000 year on year. Said it on the JNLR thread, but fair play to him, obviously connecting with the audience and retaining some of Joe's listeners (over simplification obviously).

I hope Enda does another 5yrs to rub it up Ray.

Did it not dawn on that woman to check with her service provider instead of emailing Ray.

I thought the same.

He has a recipe for...................batter:rolleyes:

I have one for toast as well.

Kate: "Who's that man on the poster?"
Ray: "It's Enda Kenny, the Taoiseach".
Kate: "And what does he think of us?"
He thinks daddy should have left the country five years ago like he promised he would.

PIORUN

take it handy don't start him on praying!!

PeterTheEighth

He gave up his job with the Garda Diving Squad to do the narration on horror movies.

Caller right re election posters. Whether you like them or not, they're more affordable for the less wealthy candidates. The big parties can lash out the money to pay for posters and hoardings on private land. You either ban them all or none.

goochy

nice one PETERTHEEIGHT on both counts ! love to know why Farcy has such a problem with Enda ??

Brendan Bendar

Never heard the unique pronunciation of 'sicth' or 'fith' for sixth or fifth apparently ?

What slate does he live under??

Like I said yesterday, he should listen to his own pronounciation when a word (wordge) finishes with the letter D.

Or includes the letters o and u. And now we have the News from Oiileen Douun.

The thing that annoys me about that is that he says "Thank you Oilean, thank you very much". Why does he need to say it twice? I'm pretty sure it's a reflex reaction, to buy himself some time cos he knows that he's gonna f**k something up. Just sounds really amateur.

Please Newstalk, get somebody instead of Moncreiff, cos otherwise I'm gonna be on this thread giving out about D'Arcy for the next ten years (until he cashes in that RTE pension).

I heard a statistic on local radio, this morning that 90% of the printing is done in Dublin & some got orders in Poland as well!
I wouldn't be surprised if it was their own printers, as who got a few 100 cards printed out at Xmas, cute hoors!;)

It seems Ray didn't read out my text when waffling on about the
WHAT IF'S,
What If Ray left the country, promises - promises, that's why you've a beef with Enda, as he reminds you of yourself:D

Joe Duffy quote ""Having said that, we presenters are mostly self-employed, which means they can get rid of us tomorrow if they wanted to.""

Mooney & Sean O'Rourke seem to be the only main "staffers".

At one stage some 2FM presenters were on monthly rolling contracts, it was one of the main reasons Tony Fenton moved on.

It's for this sort of mealy mouthed crap that I dislike Duffy. There is not a chance in a million that RTE will fire Joe Duffy. I mean they should have gotten rid of everybody who was on over 250K when the country was bailed out, but they kept everybody on.

His biggest complaint was that he didn't get sick pay for the time he was off with the broken leg, thus the self employed jibes re social welfare on the show.

I'm not denying that there are a lot of people that LOVE Moncreiff. But there are a lot of people who cant stomach his permanent smart ar$e / facetious / sarcastic tone.
