Dafuk lads.!!!

Save the puns for Tamara, we'll have our own Funny Friday

Certainly be better than Duffy's one

It's not that long ago that Mr. Duffy was asking listeners to submit the names of hairdressers around the country that were amusing in nature, so to speak. I have PTSD reading some of your efforts there. A plague on all of your houses!

Bryan is available for a small large fee to open anything so to speak.

Thank you for your service.

I assume Bryan's sporting knowledge is right up there with Mr. Duffy's?

mistersifter

I was tempted to say that he'd be a shoo-in for a role in Lord of the Rings,

I'm not sure the producers could afford him though

he once mistakenly ended up at a Reading match with a copy of Matilda.

Also being a foot taller than most of the actors might lead to some issues. I'd prefer to see him reprise his role as The Gimp in Pulp Fiction tbh.

Might do that as well. Nearly finished a Seinfeld S1 -9 binge.

I don’t that often listen to Tubridy, it is the aural equivalent of eating an aero bar, not an iota of substance in it, even between the bubles of airy nothing.

If Bryan was a chocolate bar he would eat himself.

Classic RTE putting a call out for people to take part in a documentary 2 working days before it's due to start filiming. A lot of thought must have gone into this one.

Or 4 normal days. I'd say that's plenty of notice if you want to put your name forward if that's your thing.

I though classic RTE was taking ages to do anything and having to form sub-committees before a decision is made.

Yeah, I can imagine them frantically running around on Saturday and Sunday trying to orgaise shooting for Monday morning. :rolleyes:

I'm not a barber, but thanks for the offer. How's retirement going?

Despite myself, I listened to Ryan this morning in the car on the way back from the weekly shop (sad, I know)

I had a light bulb moment (which many of you will have had already - I’m just late to the party...). It was, “why do I find the show (and, indeed, Ray’s) so hard to listen to. My answer is....

The monologue.

For whatever reason, they both start the show with a fifteen minute meander over the papers, their opinion on (please insert an incredibly oblique and off-piste subject here, with some tenuous association with some in-the-moment issue); what they read/saw/ate/encountered whilst shopping/riding their bicycle/ were talking to their offspring - you get the drift...

In the real world, when we meet up with someone, whether casually, unexpectedly or deliberately, we have a dialogue with them. We don’t sit there for fifteen minutes with our receiver on and our transmitter off.

So, the “exchange” we don’t have with Ryan (and Ray) means the whole thing is a falsity.

And that’s why I have stopped listening

Whoever mentioned the over-pronunciation of THAT on here ... thanks for THAT...I cannot unhear THAT now ...and we (dont) like THAT here!!

Caught the last few minutes there, like some child that's wound up that lad. Heaven knows what he was like for the rest of the programme

At least Ray sometines at least asks “what do YOU think!” With Ryan I get the sense more that he is telling you what you should be thinking, it doesn’t come across well at all.
