The Ray D'Arcy Show - 29th. September 2018

Alf Veedersane

Lads rubbing pictures on a box with a relic of a 24-yr-old.

I'll never understand that kind of nonsense.

One always has to declare that one is not very religious these times. Atheist is best, agnostic good, believing in “something” acceptable, belonging to a particular religious faith no-no.

Spot on. Una had to make sure and say 'i'm not religious'. Same in the office. No one would say, yes I'm religious and practising.

Saying you're spiritual is all the rage.. kinda New Age like.

Parents never really get over the death of a child, whatever age they are. Not that I know, but from talking to people who lost their child.

You might if you'd terminal illness and nothing else was helping!

Bizarrely, whilst we were being subjected to this song throughout the whole of summer 1994 (15 weeks at number one!!) you had 'Riverdance' by Bill Whelan at the top for even longer! :eek:

Have you been listening to his show for the last few years.

If it's not porridge it's Catholicism/religion.

I don't listen to his shows. I'd be working.

I possibly would.

But a lot of people who did were not terminally ill.

I love Waterford whispers

RobertKK

This is not funny.

Alf Veedersane

Has WW not been subsumed into the Indo?

monkey9

Please WWN, leave it to the website. This is awful, television is not your thing ffs.

The Talking Bread

WW news can be very good but This does not work on tv. Canned laughter would'nt even have time for it.

In the early days they actually spoofed some proper global news agencies.

Abducted children in white vans...not funny

CH3OH

I spend the day painting.. Watching the paint dry was funnier than this

Ol' Donie

Heh. That was good.

Of course. But it's carried down through generations. And if you believe a saint's body incorruptible you'd believe anything touched that body may have powers.

A lot of people believe in Homeopathy too!

People not terminally ill don't have an excuse to believe in nonsense.

Welsh Megaman

WWN is a funny website, but this didn't quite work on TV.

Especially the awkwardness of about 3 people laughing.

Alf Veedersane

Well...that was awful.

CH3OH

Is the leaving cert girl related to Nathan?

Truthfully, watching paint dry, the paint you applied, is rewarding. More so with a good bit of radio going on the background.

Could Amy not write a script for a new show about a woman who stars in various RTE shows and is married to a former Irish Rugby star, it just might work.

Every atheist has that nagging doubt just before they kick the bucket

Now that would be good.

Defaulter1831

Great for the girl to win her case and get her course.

But too much is being made of the case..prime time top 3 news story for 2 days.

What if she drops out? Nothing achieved yet. And if she's a vet working long hours with big animals she might decide it's not for her.

Good for her to highlight poor marking but it's a pretty minor story nationally.

Bill Badbody. Had a giggle at that

Art imitating life

Atlantic Dawn

Cringe.

Fair play to her, I do love it when the underdog wins, she was up against it and took them out.

Say Your Number

I do remember RTE trying a satirical news show about a decade ago, it was pretty awful, the WWN bit wasn't that bad at least.

The story isn't her, per se, but the system.

vladmydad

This is a minor story at best, what the hell is the obsession with it.

I agree and I often laugh at the articles

Atlantic Dawn

It's like a live broadcast to the Mir Space Station in 1984.

Welsh Megaman

That's a lot of people to do a house hunt.

martingriff

Let's hope see passes her exams in UCD. All this publicity they could turn sour

It's turned into her as much as the system. Are you watching? About her boyfriend.

My friend in work completely fell for the ‘schools fundrauding by forcing kids to make 10000s of Bridgets crosses’ was so funny . She’d us all told before we copped it.
