    I was unfortunate enough to drop into listening to some of this today.

    Aside from the recycled guests, what annoyed me the most was his disgustingly flippant attitude to the guest who had gone through so much surgery.

    Our guest: explaining the numerous surgeries he's undergone
    Our host: *in the background* bellybutton
    Our host: sorry, it's not funny!
    Our host: Do they call that a bellybuttonectomy

    A pure and simple, ****ing bellend!

    This happens every day. I assume there's a reason, which I don't quite understand, why broadcasters engage in these repeated phrases. Marian Finucane does the same thing with her "Hello there, AND a very good morning to you". Anne Doyle was in the habit of signing-off by telling viewers of the 9 o'clock news to "Take care".

    Perhaps it's a sort of signature that is intended to institutionalise the programme/ presenter in some way, i.e. to create a certain familiarity which draw people towards listening or watching? I don't really know.

    Off the Ball lads do it also...it's so sh*t I can't remember exactly what it is. I think it's "good luck".

    I think you are exactly right in why they may do it.

    I'm wondering is the show losing listeners. Lately there's two ads for the show in the first break of Liveline. One where the z lister guest says something and Ray laughs his bollox off , the another "Coming up after Liveline... cancer, dead or dying children, running and Conor POPE. "

    Just now I noticed they're advertising him during the credits at the end of Fair City

    Ray’s Great Grammar: “Him and his wife went...”. Imagine, this is from one of the National broadcaster’s highest paid presenters. English grammar is not that very complicated. Good thing we don’t have multiple case endings, declensions etc or Ray wouldn’t be able to utter a sentence that actually made sense.

    Having read that link it says he devoured a BBC manual on how to make a radio show. Was the chapter of how to work the equipment missing ?

    Ah sure the den was money for old rope for Darcy. Sure zig and zag and Dustin did the heavy lifting. All ray had to do was laugh.

    That was it. It's all a bit hazy. I'm afraid I was rather stoned at the time.

    Guys try to tone things down a bit. Criticism and praise for anyone in the public eye are par for the course, but only within a certain context, and has its limits. Some (not all) of the last few posts seem like an overreaction.

    Two posts deleted and one infracted

    He could be a bit of craic on the Den and was grand on today fm until....

    It all changed when he got together with Jenny Kelly, then went completely down the shi**er when he started having kids and got married.

    From Jenny Kellys Wiki page:

    Reared in South Dublin county, Kelly's father Michael was a lawyer and a major influence on her career.[3] Jenny would attend horse races with him, and was seen at the Galway Races in 2003 whilst running in the 2.30 race.[3][4]
