I told Alexa to shut the fcuk up when it moved to that.

She responded, “That’s not a nice way to talk”


Probably right, as usual, but ....hey.

Her voice “quavering” with rage.... then this imposter mentions ‘Die welt’

Is it it ‘Die’ or ‘Dee’. FFS

Jeebus h Christ how does a tosser like this earn .5 big of taxpayers money.

The mind boggles.

Heard yer one Greta on RTE 1 this morning where they played her speech. She is very easily becoming one of the most annoying mouthpieces this doomed planet has ever produced.

I will concur with that excellent piece of observation Hugh.

In my opinion, and I stress it’s just an opinion, she will be under medical care shortly after Xmas.

Maybe we just don't like listening to the awful truth that "we" have done bugg*r all about the climate? I do, however, entirely agree with you last statement.

Jesus what is it with Darcy and Tubbs playing all these high pitched whiney male singers?

Heard two great Irish-isms on D'Arcy just now.

"There's more in that head than a comb would take out" - presumably a reference to intelligence

And if something is tragic it's "as bad as an ass dying on a widow and her turf in the bog"

Can't make up my mind on Alain de Botton, is he a serious person or hawking self-help poolside reading for people who don't have enough real problems in their lives?

He estimated 11 stone was 90kg yesterday when that weight lifter was on. “I don’t use that system”, what system is that, basic common knowledge?

I heard that. Couldn’t believe he could come up with that.
Lookit, it’s like this, the guy is totally out of his depth, these are the little snippets that are catching him out time after time after time.

As I have been rabbiting on about for yonks, in his comfort zone dealing with meat raffles, what happened at Electric Picnic, the Ploughing, some obscure gig in Vicar St, who is going well in ‘Dancing’ Love Island’ ‘ Strictly’ Fair Ciddie’ that kind of low intensity stuff.

400k for that kind of output puzzles many people ,myself included, given the platform he is on.

More suited to the ‘Redtop’ category where the ‘exploits ‘ of z lister ‘celebrities’ and wannabes chancers and ‘social media influencers’ hold the front page content.

Cannot square that circle

Yes indeedy. On friday at three until 3 30 he was monologing about I dont know what. Was eating beans mentioned or something like that. Such nonsense. Just pure laziness. Nothing of merit whatsoever. Nothing to engage the mind. Nothing radio. I kept thinking of his salary and how wrong it is.

Ya. Beans and melted cheese on toast is a "thing" in Australia. He's looking forward to trying it. I hope he knows baked beans are full of sugar.

Add a dollop of Colmans English mustard to that and it's magic.

He's up against Moncrief for the 1st hour of the show, so I suppose the thinking is to try to out weird and wacky him to keep the audience from switching. The problem there is Moncrief has that particular market cornered so it's the shakings if the bag for Darcy.
They should pick a genre.... weird and wacky and make it good or the radio version of the RTÉ Guide and hope people don't get fed up of the constant repetition of guests.
