Is he full of himself or is he just confident and in tune with his own life and needs?

I'd say he has a bit of a brass neck meself.

Might be wrong though.

Ray doesnt ask questions, he makes statements that he thinks are right and asks the guests to agree or disagree. It's a bit like a survey, a very loaded survey.

His researcher will have included something of genuine interest, but he'll just segue into it with a closed question, "And this is the only one of its kind in Ireland, isn't it?", leaving the subject to just say, "Yeah," and Ray to move on to the next non-question.

That priest was brilliant. I'd nearly go and see him if he came here.

Honestly, if I'd seen that pop up as the Blessings Bus on Father Ted, I'd have laughed my nuts off.
Real life - stranger than fiction.

Had to laugh at beginning of the show today, he was reading about a survey which said if doing an exam your chances are better earlier in the day than later as the brain is more switched on. He then said "what does that say about us (his show) starting at 3, what would we be like if we started at 9". Think it dawned on him then..... He used to and the survey must be right, you do get worse as the day goes on!!

You know. I'm sure he's a nice fella and all but everytime I see or hear him I get an uncontrollable urge to stab myself to death.

Oh right so that is why he messed up the sig tune at 4.30pm yesterday. It would have never happened at 3pm. :pac:

Wait for Ray's healthy drinks tips ...........

Harry Angstrom

Will Ray ever just fuck off with his crusade against sugar?? He's like a broken record. Some of us actually like sugar.

Porridge Juice, perhaps?

So Ray decides to lecture Action On Sugar on how to run their campaign.

Bell end!

Some people like cigarettes too. Hasn't stopped the war against them, don't see why the war on sugar will be any different tbh.

I've cracked the system for Ray's show.

Someone listens to the today programme on BBC R4 and works off that.

Today's show is almost a carbon copy of the topics on the Today Show.

Isn't that mad.

Harry Angstrom

Two woeful broadcasters talking to each other. It doesn't get much worse than this.

I almost forgot who Conor McNamara was until you brought attention to it, Harry. He's the TV3 Rugby commentator isnt he. :(

I caught the end of that interview where Ray said something like say hello to your dad. Is his father someone well known?

I didn't hear the interview myself but conor's father is Michael McNamara formerly of 2fm, AKA Mickey Mac.
He used to present a dance music show in the 90's.

How long till Ray gives Enda a bashing today?

only ray could find tesco changing the shape of a crossaint hilarious. most people would give a grunt of "i dont really care" and get on with their lives
