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

I think he meant a bottle in a box. The box cost another fiver so he got a bottle without a box and put it in a fancy bag. I'd be with him on that one in fairness..

Larry Gogan. Another staffer interview

"ON SPOTIFY.. ON SPOTIFY.. ON SPOTIFY.."

He must be on a retainer from them. Spotify is mentioned about 10 times a day whenever I listen.

He's probably mastered how to work the buttons on Spotify and he's so proud of his achievement he can't stop talking about it.

Cheap fecker D'arcy buying boxes of wine for presents, also why does he change his voice when he says "glass of wine"

He was the same last year, when he'd heard Conor Pope talk about the Amazon Fire at half-price & tried to get the staff them for xmas, he sadly/gladly failed

If he'd seen the BA thread, as well as this one
Surely he would he quids in with Baileys in a Box 2FOR20 @ Supervalu

Btw: I saw the cover of the Xmas RTE Guide with Tubs & Sharon, it says Christmas starts here, i thought it was when the Toyshow was on?

I think it's when Ray D'arcy is off air & thank god for (5ft) small mercies that he's not on the Guide himself

Truck drivers crying in their lorries

No he stopped reading out the texts messages he was receiving from the crying truck drivers.

Once it was pointed out to him that his crusade against people who might drink 2 pints and drive a few miles home wasnt compatible with him encouraging texts from drivers with tears in their eyes and in charge of a 40t vehicle.

goochy

he hasn't been looking for peoples hats lately ? how is anyone going to find there lost things now ? valuable public service broadcasting .

Talking to a caller in the USA.

"Is it morning or evening over there?"

Here's a clue. It's between 5 and 8 hrs behind,

Do you mean the young mid 20 celtic tiger generation are not "suited to big person radio"?

What's "big person radio"?

Are people who are "hardly in the full limelight now surely" allowed on "big person radio"?

Thank you kindly for your welcome Brendan Bendar. What has you a "bit shaky"?

That's the spirit, Ray. What an unmitigated miserable killjoy you really are. Could you imagine anybody wanting to spend Christmas with this man?

Great groupthink echo chamber session going on. Funny how all the heroes of the year are people who were on the show at some stage.

A bit like people in this forum repeatedly moaning about Ray D'Arcy but still listening to the show every day.

Far from it Horse.

While you're here tell us some of his redeeming qualities. See if you can convert us.

I'm not trying to convert anyone.

I made the point before, that by continuing to listen to the show, and comment about it, that, that is helping the show - because it doesn't really matter to the programme makers, if the people commenting don't like the show, and don't like the presenter, as long as they keep listening.

It doesn't really matter to the presenter or the shows producers and researchers, as long as the people commenting are listening to it, and contributing to the listenership figures, which in turn helps the show attract advertising, which helps keep the show going.

I don't listen to it. I might get the first or last five mins after Liveline and before the news. The only time I'd listen other than that is if I'm working in someone's house and they have it on. Otherwise I turn him off and play music instead. There's enough misery on Liveline without him grabbing the torch and running with it.

If you think this thread is good, you should try Da Lahv Lahn Thread!

the thing about the lahv lahn thread, is that you really need to listen to the show when reading it. although the very very odd time i've heard the show, i could pretty much guess what's been said on the thread. if only more people called liveline when they're near something that would cause interference!

sligojoek

My lunch break is a moveable feast <see what I did there?>. It could be any time between half one and three. It suits me to listen to Duffy and have the crack on the thread if I have internet. I prefer music to talking when I'm working. If I don't hear Liveline the thread is good to find if there's anything worth listening back to.

I wonder did Ray donate his refund

How many times has Darcy plugged the “Hand your IW refund over to three charities CEO’s” project?

Not listening but wondering and wondering about this?

The water protestors seemed to keep insisting that it wasn’t a “money issue” so I am a bit puzzled that none of the bullhorn brigade,or the media chaps suggested that those who didn’t pay their charges donate what they should have paid to the homeless charities they all seem to be so concerned about.

Just a thought………………………hmmmm.

Seems strange to this poster.
