John Bishop sounds like he's slurring his words - is that just the way he talks or what?

most boring interview ever !

Heard that alright, he was like a man after a good few pints. Then again I suppose you couldn't blame a fella for skullin a few scoops before going on Ray Darcys show. Rays fake laughing was off the charts.

sligojoek

Oh great. An extended Lahvelahne.

Can you not get your own material, Ray?

CarrickMcJoe

Pleeeaasssseeee, I'm begging... supply the RcamB or we will be subjected to this for life...

Ray reading the statement from Vertex, without sighing/criticising the company/being a bitch. Joe Duffy won't be happy.

sligojoek

He won't be happy that Ray got a statement and he didn't.

CarrickMcJoe

Chieftains O holy night is torture..

sligojoek

Tinsel on the mantelpiece.

Careful now Ray. Fireman Joe will go mad.

To be honest, I'd couldn't give a toss about your schmaltzy, hackneyed Christmas play list Ray and I suspect the vast majority of listeners would be of same opinion. Who are you talking to? Your alter ego?

Two highlights in the space of 60 seconds that I heard today.

The first was along the lines of not having too many Christmas songs on his Christmas playlist.

The second was a suggestion by a listener to include a song by someone (sorry can't remember who)...but his father had already suggested another song by the same singer so by means of compromise he picked his fathers song.

Just heard a snippet of the interview, on the shuttle bus from my workplace. Old fella who drives the bus tunes in. I couldn't believe when D'Arcy asked Michael Parkinson if he would consider going to Dignitas????


FFS, the man might be in his eighties ( I think? ) but afaik has no serious health issue. Parky sounded taken aback.

Youre no flippin spring chicken yourself D'Arcy, despite you having (as you love to keep telling us) 'young children' (which doesn't make you any younger BTW. Would you like someone to ask you that ?

The man is clueless

Perhaps a personality transplant and a couple of tufts of hair top, back and sides...O and a makeover.

We got the old, getting the decorations down out of the attic story, again today. And how some of the bulbs weren't working.

Classic Ray.. If self awareness and tact was milk Ray wouldn't have enough for his cornflakes.

Had the father been on with his Plum Pudding (or something) recipe yet?

The next big event will be his "grand stretch in the evenings" gag sometime after the 21st.

PeterTheNinth

He got his mother to do the interview? He's obviously seen a few of his last few interviews.

sligojoek

The old Shane MacGowan and me Ma" story

Jan_de_Bakker

Yeah ... great that he was drinking Vodka at 11AM ... shows the amount of maturing this country needs in it's attitude to alcohol.

Harry Angstrom

It's Yo-Yo Ma, you ignoramus.

PeterTheNinth

hahh. Ray was singing a song with the word f4ggot in it a minute ago, now he's the champion of the gay cause.

sligojoek

Kids' names, ages and heights.

I honestly can't think of any presenter that talks about mundane family day-to-day stuff as much as Ray. Does he really think anyone cares about that at all? If you sat down beside a fella in a pub that was going on like that you'd drink up and move on. He is padding out his show with that stuff, very unprofessional.

D'Arcy is essentially a big kid who's still half living in The Den, spending his days in the RTE bubble reminiscing ad nauseum about the great ads/jingles/toys/comics and other best forgotten trinkets of his profoundly unmemorable youth, unable to master even the most basic of modern technology and stumbling and stuttering over his occasional attempts to tackle serious topics just to show how pathetically uninformed he is about modern everyday living. The word "kidult" was invented for people like him.

Like I keep saying 'Hairdresser Radio' ie noise in the background of a salon, which nobody listens to,only catching occasional sound bites about who 'done well' in 'Strictly' or who won the 11 m in the 'Lottho' followed by surmisations about what one would do with the prize ....."I'd jack in the job and go to bleedin Florida an buy a jeh to make trips to bleedin Vegas".

That's about the strength of it, I'm afraid.
