It was a few drinks and watching the Alan Partridge movie I think. It was mentioned during his today fm days. To be fair if thats what he wanted why not.

He didn't mention what the drinks were. Probably a selection of fruit juices, but limited to two glasses each because of naturally occurring sugar content.

Odyssey 2005

Ah...the Monday autopsy of his Sith Saturday show.

He used to promote fast food???

Between those lads and the Clare woman on Liveline, it's been an entertaining hour!

Does anyone bring out a 'study' or 'report' these days, whose subtext and conclusion is not 'give us more dosh'??????

Sr.Stan of Sisters of Charity ambushed by D'Arcy it seems - both seem equally awkward about the line of questions!

Harry Angstrom

I like Sister Stan, she has great integrity. A pipsqueak like D'Arcy won't be getting the better of her.

NIMAN

Ray is a lot more restrained than he usually is about the CC in his line of questioning. He likely doesnt want to offend an old woman.

I don't care what age someone is, they need to answer the difficult questions on the CC, whether they like it or not.

Do you think she should be held responsible for the actions of other people within the Church? She's led a good life and has done her best to help people. I don't see why you should think she should be somehow held to account for the wrongs that other people have done.

For somebody who likes to confront those in power, she went fairly quiet when quizzed on the sisters of charity.

She said its media led! Nothing to do with the actions of those in the employ of the order.

Yes, it seems rather crass of Ray to keep bringing his thoughts on the failings of the Church into every interview with a religious person.

He has some pretty simplistic opinions on religion, constantly lumping in religious belief with the institutional church, as if it's all exactly the same thing.

She said the recent antipathy towards the Sisters of Charity and the new maternity hospital was media led, and she would have a point with that. Church-bashing has become a national pastime with the media and the permanently outraged Twitterati. Funny how they never seem to focus their anger on Islam, and if you want an example of that, listen back to D'Arcy's soft-soap interview with Ali Selim.

That interview really makes my blood boil. The hypocrisy of all those people who went after Martin O'Neill for his stupid "queer" joke, yet when the head of a religion says that being gay is a sin not a word is said. And people say I'm crazy when I tell them not to believe what they see on the bit flat screened colourldy box in the corner.. There is no such thing as balanced news coverage, there is always an agenda.

Folks none of ye have to listen to his show. There are plenty of other radio stations which one could choose to listen to every day between 15.00hrs and 16.30hrs instead.

Do it!

..plenty of people like yourself doing that already Harry.No shortage on radio,youtube ,blogs,forums...really you don't need to worry yourself on that one.In fact its manna for trolls and keyboard warriors to get on their high horses about....loving their own self importance...pain in the hole most of them.

"And then I remember Bill Wyman, and it got me thinking what was it I remembered about him. It was the fact that he was married to Mandy Smith, who was much younger than him.... and the opportunity it gave me, once again, to be judgmental about somebody and something that has nothing to do with me at all.

That's true.
Peoples capacity for masochism though is interesting.

If I didn't like to listen/see something, I'd find an alternative. Just saying.

Thought you said blue balls there - wouldn't surprise me if that's a common occurrence in the Darcy household.
