Ray D'arcy on RTE Radio 1 **Mod Warning post 1, 1263, 1610**

sightband

If I was driving the 46A outside Montrose I’d be looking out for Lightbody throwing himself in front of the bus. Thanks Ray.

I knew a lad just like Ray, misery was his currency, his own life was a pile of steaming shįte so talking and seeing others suffer made his seem a bit more palatable. He was and is a pain in the hole, just like D’arcy.

He comes back after the ad break to read texts, then goes to anothe ad break.

Lads with regard to the Nuact issue would it be any good complaining to the BAI ? I mean I'm not a fluent Irish speaker in the slightest but I respect that news in irish is part of RTEs deal, but from reading this thread it's clear that Darcy and his staff are intentionally going against an RTE directive. RTE have irish news on Radio 1 at twelve noon and(used to be 3:30pm) now 4pm(supposedly) but Darcy is doing this knowingly IMO from what posters are saying.

Doubt it.

RTE are not noted for taking any heed of their customers concerns.

I sent one last week to complaints@rte.ie basically just saying you’d expect an on the hour bulletin to be on the hour as is the case with every other broadcast I’ve ever encountered.

Got an auto response with all sorts of BAI mumbo jumbo followed by an email two days later from someone thanking me taking the time to write to them. Pissing against the wind. Still, more complaints the better. He’s mighty sharp at clocking out not a second past 4:30pm. He knows exactly what he is at, he really is a horrible person and has some streak in him.

"Ray, we've got an email in asking you to tone it down on the porridge, running and just generally being a wanker, what else have you got"

"ummmmm...jenny?"

I wouldn’t really blame D’arcy for the Nuacht timing problems.

I’d blame the stults in charge, the producer or whoever is in charge.

There’s a timetable for An Nuacht if D’Arcy can’t keep to it he should be told to find another job.

Simple as that.

It's not just him. The ads started at 3.58 this evening. It was out of Ray's hands after that. The funny thing is Ray came back on and read out a few texts then handed over to another ad break then went to an Nuacht at almost 4.05. Maybe, as I jokingly predicted last week , they stood him up to teach him a lesson.

jimbobaloobob

Text it in today that the Nuacht happens at 4pm today as a Christmas. It will get highlighted then nationwide

rocky1813

I texted in at 3.58 today to say that I was fed up of the Nuacht being late and he had it on at 4.01!

Ray on at 9 this morning for some reason. Probably some prerecorded shíte.

No just shíte.

Why does the guy talk in staccato sentences with the announcement of a ‘name.

And now we welcome ………… Amy Huberman

Hahahhahahahahahahah.

That guy is a nnoying me soooo much.

He usually shouts the surname louder than the first name.

Absolutely correct......Amy.....space...space. Huuuuuberman

What an annoying presentation style.

Jay Zee

Maybe it would be a good idea if the head of radio 1 changed things up a little and put Darcy on @ 9am & put Tubs on afternoons @ 3pm

Probably wouldnt suit Tubridy and the Late Late show team on a Friday

Lovely selection of music being played in Darcy's slot at the moment.

By one of the Ray Darcy team, who annoyingly never seems to be off the radio these days when a music show needs to be done or filled in on

Talking about how great Brendan O Carroll is. This calls for gin.

Fungus McAnally doing a great self-promotion with Brenda O’Donoghue, reminding us of all his great accomplishments, telling us what a great musician he is, his panto role and friendship with and great admiration of Brindin O’caddie, and promoting his latest outing as a singer, gawd help us. He’s a great admirer of himself altogether.
Now, dat ukulele I bought in Lidl over Crimbo, maybe I could bang out a few choonless choons and getvit promoter on de Aaar Tee Ee, oh wait, I don’t work der and am not friends of de various producers etc.

Rte love in on now. I’d prefer Brenda to Ray

He's a bit of an oddball and seems full of his own importance. I always thought he was too 'square' to be a children's TV presenter.

Want subtitles with this unknown on here now.

Thought the same tbh until I meet him at a mental health event there in 2017, his facade is great. But in person was a very nice guy.

Ironically all the giving out about Darcy and the Irish news here. Today Brenda went over to the news on time but played an add at 4:00. 4:02 she says now with the sport is Greg Allen and he carries on. Not sure she hit a wrong button and never knew or what happened but no Nuacht

There seems to be some sort of Y2K thing going on with the computers today. During Rachel English's chat with the sports guy on Morning Ireland the news from Lyric appeared over them. They just had to shut up and wait until it finished.

Thank god thought i was only one who found Angus annoying - full of himself. remember he got a hair transplant - did say he wasnt lacking in confidence other than that

While we’re on Aonghus I’m reminded of one of his greatest moments while presenting Late Date a couple of years back. One of the sports news items concerned a great comeback by a snooker player in the UK championship I think it was. Being rte’s self appointed snooker expert, because he once made a 20 break down the club 30 years ago, Aonghus proceeded to regale us with a long winded tale of how he’d once come back from 0-4 or something in some two-bit tournament he was playing in and how wonderful it made him feel and how he knew exactly how that player must be feeling. “But this is the UK championship!” the sports presenter said. “Yeah, well I suppose you’re right,” Aonghus very humbly and modestly replied.

A humble man of many talents.

The way he holds the guitar up like that sea
“”Do you know what, I can play this”

He was on with Bobby Kerr on Newstalk over Christmas too talking about.......himself. He plugged his shows in the 20mins or so he was on with Bobby almost as much as Joe plugged de buke in a month.

I've posted the video of it elsewhere but the best ever is when BB King was on Live at 3 (or something like that) and as he starts strumming Aonghus pulls out a guitar from behind the couch to play along with him. Now that takes the term "lack of self awareness" to new levels.

Like as if Maria Callas were to come alive again and into the Late Late Show and sign a quick rendition of her favourite aria and Ryan were to join in and pollute the moment!

I remember dat. It looked like dueling guitars as far as I can recall, every time BB would play the frets, Fungus would tinkle in with a twang or two.

In fairness, regardless of his talent, he can always say he met, spoke to, and played guitar with BB King... not many, including Ray Darcy and EVERYONE on here, can say that !

If it was a Monday (pensioners day) Ann Ó Dwyer and Sonny Knowles would have joined in too.

Looks like no Nuacht today again.

sligojoek

Three days in a row now. Can we take it, it's a thing of the past. Very sneaky. I'd say they're afraid to make an announcement about it in case there's a backlash. All the pre_xmas lateness was premeditated.
