When her buke comes out she will be on every single show. Guaranteed publicity for a publisher.

Ray reading out headlines,

Gets to story about a boy in Colorado and snowballs,

Guess what the boy did? he says, bet you cant guess,


Ray, your listeners have access to the internet too, not just you

attention seeker...lets be honest here

giveitholly

So his elf on the shelf is a female called Rosie,Ray must have to leave his balls at the door when he goes home

goochy

i assume keeping busy takes her mind off things - but its pretty lazy broadcasting - we should not be getting sick of hearing her but we are only human.

another lost and found section piece - my god they must not spend much time producing the show

I wish there were more attention seekers in this country, if she's what your definition of an attention seeker is.

The US books were very good. I never really liked the endless flogging of Shave or Dye after the first year.


The Even Better Than The Real Thing sessions were also really well done.

Which in itself was similar to the long (and still) running BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge.

thesandeman

He puts the "It's almost 4 o'clock" jingle on at 4:03!!

She’s someone who (rightly) sued the state for a missed cancer screening and got some celebrity as a result, nothing more. Let’s not pretend she initiated her court case for altruistic reasons. I certainly don’t see any reason for her receiving an honary doctorate or the other plaudits she gets.

This.

Was doing the rounds a full day before Darcy (and his crack team of researchers (kate and tom) picked up on it.

It's a shame Emma Mhic Mhathuna did not share in the same level of 'celebrity'. I almost feel sorry for you that you seem to think "she only did it for what she could get out of it". Do you genuinely, honestly think she woke up one day and thought to herself... "this is gonna make me famous"

goochy

Fiona Looney on Ray Darcy show - love it - he wont get away with any PC crap with her - hope she says she cant wait to drink loads over xmas.

Happened to be in the car today around 3.55, listened to Ray finish an interview and then go to ads,
Was watching the time, and ads finish at 4, ray then chimes in with some texts from listeners and some other nonsense,
at 4.02 to goes to the Nuacht,

I honestly feel that today it was done on purpose, he had the chance to go there at four, but chose to waffle on instead.

That is down to management at RTE to pull him up on it

Was thinking the exact same thing myself,he had the perfect opportunity to go to nuacht on time today and purposely waffled on for a few mins so he would be late,very petty from him but not surprised

Sweet divine..... I really can’t believe nobody has commented on this.

D’Arcy comes on talking about “colic acid” as a by product of sunshine in winter.

Now I was only half listening as I was on the pan at work listening through the sound system.

Jeez I said to myself “colic acid” what’s this ...surely ...... fuhhherking surely .... he doesn’t mean ‘folic acid” suuuuurely not.

Anyway he goes on about this ‘ colic acid’ so I was just about to ‘crown out’ and said I must check that on google when I get back to the office.

Then minutes later he comes on with something like “I knew I was saying something wrong.. it’s folic acid..

I blew the load, no kidding, couldn’t hold back, like a flock of pidgeons taking off.

How in the name of all that’s high and holy is a lad like that pumping out ‘medical advice’ on National Radio.

I despair, I really do....

plodder

Not sure what folic acid has to do with sunshine either for that matter

Sorry I was not fully engaged... it was vitamin D he was on about.

Was on the pan, sorry.

He made a right balls of that, that's for sure. Embarrassing as Ray would fancy himself as a bit of an expert on matters health and matters female. But there you go, even the great make mistakes..

Can't quite figure why Ray places such faith in experts. In this case he was quoting some 'expert/ quack' who had written a book debunking ALL supplements except Vit D and folic acid. But where is his critical faculty? Why parrot what someone else thinks as the wisdom of the world?

I'll tell you why B.

Because the guy, based on his output, hasn't a blind clue what is going on other than 'hairdresser radio©' issues like who is on 'Dancing with the Stars ' and other quasi celeb and musical stuff like the dude who died recently.
Frontman for some group or other or 'uther ' as Ray says.

That's why, it's very simple, he is out of his area of competency.

Brendan Bendar

Lad will be in his element today

Geraldine Plunkett Fair City...... Almost out of date

Les McKeown Bay City Rollers... Well out of date....

That's his level with no disrespect to the guests.

Watch for the staccato delivery in the interviews.....

Hairdresser radio©

I should have known D'Arcy would put something fcuking awful on a pizza, like anchovies.

Does he put an egg on top (actually I don't mind that on a homemade one)

goochy

he tells Geraldine she must have loved being centre of attention - being in plays - actors cant be up their arses but she sounds alright

Brendan Bendar

Ha hah hah ha ha Hhe he he he

What a stult.

Watch the different way Ms Plunkett pronounces Peadar.... Peadhar...correct


D'Arcy ...Padder.... Incorrect.


The guy just doesn't have anything to run this show.

Dxhound always comes out to bat for Darcy, even when he is 100% wrong. I doubt you're an Irish speaker dxhound but ask one - the pronunciation is not padder. Ray is clueless and an advertisement for RTE's total disinterest in talent.

sligojoek

Ray is just a tool in the RTE box.

Let it be drink driving, healthy eating, kids on phones, Speeding in cars, gays are great. Women are even greater. and on and on.

He's just there to get the message across to us.

Same as Derek Mooney before him.

pleas advice

how would he pronounce Finian McGrath's name, (how does Finian pronounce it himself)?

Sure the guy in the video gives the correct pronounciation..’.Peadhar’ which is how Ms Plunkett pronounces it, which is correct.

I don’t know what the lad dx’s Point is to be honest

Shouty Thomas in today. I've just switched off the radio.

sligojoek

Katherine (I'm a new maaawwwm) Thomas.

How many minutes before baby Ellie is mentioned?

goochy

still not as annoying as Ray but then few people are

sligojoek

She's keeping up Ray's tradition.

Intro to the ads says, "It's almost 4.00 on Radio1....." at 4.03.

4.05 and still no Nuacht.

The lad in the video says his name rhymes with Ladder, and that is good enough for me. I would probably make the second syllable more of a Dur sound rather than Der, Paddur.

Do you introduce a phantom H into your own name, BrendHan BendHar? Most lads would pronounce your name Brendin Bendur.

You won’t let anything go will you.

My friend, how the Irish name ‘Peadar’ is pronounced has nothing to do with the English name ‘Brendan Bendar ‘ One is Irish the other is English...got it.

The lady Ms Plunkett pronounced it ‘Paddher’ the dude in the vid pronounced it ‘Paddher’ any ‘Peader’ I ever met pronounces it ‘Paddher’ but D’Arcy pronounces it ‘ Padder’ and you decide that that’s the right one.

Now like a good lad......

Those posts were before 4.oo and Esther was on after that. I only tuned in at 4 to hear the band.

Na. Some comedian (apparently) who sounded like a multiple Vogue Williams.

sligojoek

4.04 and the interview is still going. I know it's pre-recrded. All the more reason to edit it down a bit or start it a few mins earlier. It's nothing groundbreaking. Just promoting a show in the Bord Gais theatre.

Then we get the "It's almost 4.00" jingle and ads.
