I doubt it, as nepotism does not exist in RTE ;-)

"Some villages and towns just need a 'hug' . "


Tubbs back with a bang :rolleyes:

I really have no interest whatsoever what book Ryan is reading. None, at all.

Ash.J.Williams

the "little person" was hilarious, surely in the age of equality we can call her out for having a silly made up accent!!

Tubs nearly fell out of his chair when she casually mentions "adoptions" along the daily discrimination she experiences .."hold on a min...roll back there what did you say?" "i said people rub our heads for luck" " no no before that... "people follwing us in vans?" "no something to do with adoptions?"

"oh yes we need our cars specially adopted for us"

I heard "adoptions" too and thought it was a strange item to be thrown in to that list (of things she and her friends talk about)

Thought it was a good interview though. The come-back where she turned the superstitious nonsense right back at one particular woman, was one of the best I ever heard.

A tribute to Gay Byrne, a man who made it possible for Tubridy to take 700 thousand euros a year from the state.

Tubridy saying he wants to “briefly indulge myself”

He indulges himself constantly. He doesn’t give a damn about the actual listeners.

generalgerry

Yeah but in Willy Wonka, Charlie's grandad didn't work in the factory and get him a job on the board.

Beechwoodspark

This is absolutely woeful radio

NIMAN

" is that a job?"

Yeah it is, and a damn cushy one at that, with the bonus of paying over half a mill a year.

NIMAN

Band of highly paid brothers.

Uncharted

Egocentric to the backbone. He has made Gays eulogy about himself.


Well done Sonny.

Welsh Megaman

“What’s RTE really like?”


“Well you should know, your grandad worked there.”


:rolleyes:

Gerry Ryan was my bold brother.

Beechwoodspark

They say you can judge someone by their friends

So gay b was friends with joe duffy and tubridy....

sligojoek

The usual suspects

NIMAN

I suppose he is our royal family, isn't he?

generalgerry

A collection of the great and the good obnoxious

Welsh Megaman

Not often you hear the words ‘Late Late Show’ and ‘upbeat’ in the same sentence.

Poly

Tubridy's heartfelt tribute to himself

NIMAN

The country has come to a standstill.

It hasn't really. It's going on as normal.

Rte studios might be on a go-slow, but the rest of us are going about life as normal.

Like always RTÉ are going to drag the absolute arse out of it

I thought the RTE website was a bit much. Wall to wall Gaybo, didnt even give them room for a hit piece on Trump or Boris Johnson. There is a whole self congratulatory element to this, with RTE slapping itself on the back, that I find to be distasteful.

Beechwoodspark

It’s propaganda in an attempt to justify their obscene salaries

NIMAN

To be fair, some of these clips show that GB was in a different league to Tubs.

NIMAN

Anyone taking bets on those 2 being on the show tonight?

Rte researchers frantically trying to track them down.

Ash.J.Williams

mike murphy is head an shoulders above tubs and duffy

Beechwoodspark

It’s almost as if gay Byrne selected Duffy and tubs because he knew he’d look great in comparison....

sligojoek

School

He told a story yesterday about how he rang Gay when he was about 9.

"I felt like a bold child ringing the headmaster."
