Another week off for Ray maybe? Kathryn gets the first mention of the daughter inside 60 seconds. Sweating in the bed with the heavy duvet, wonder how "himself" finds it?

Whiff of box Batther?

Bara Brith is served everywhere all year round in Wales.

Ray’s continued adverts for Spotify.

I’m hoping the loyal followers of this thread might be able to assist me. I have a vague recollection of D’Arcy going on about a blood test all men over 40 and women over 50 should have to identify their risk of suffering from a cardiac event commonly referred to as the “Widow Maker”. My understanding is that people can have normal cholesterol but be at a serious risk of this condition without having any obvious symptoms.

If someone here could provide me with the name of the blood test or any relevant info I would be very grateful for it right now. Many thanks in advance!

I love the start of the show where Ray does the monologue about how he was walking the dog when it rained, or how he was talking to tom about the sheep in the field. It sort of brings me back to primary school when you used to write an essay about what you did at the weekend. And Ray captures that same level of grammar that we all had back in primary school for authenticity.

Im not a fan of Ray by any stretch, but why is everyone here so worried about the irish news, its not like many people can understand it
Is it just a stick to hit him with ?

Its the disrespect he has for the nuacht readers,it could be 4pm and instead of going to the news he will go to an ad break or introduce a new guest,the nuacht is never on at 4 and sometimes can be nearer 4.10

Maybe if they sound the “pips” of 4 o’clock, it might remind him (or, on mature reflection, not)

Got it in one.
They are lining up to get a belt at him.
Time was they were sharing a stick but they all have their own now.

It's the small celebrity circle in Ireland; not sure re Tubridys morning show but with D'Arcy it appears if you're on his radio programme you'll be on his TV Show sometimes the next day or same week/end but generally at some stage same series no matter what; for those of us who hear & watch both one can feel a bit cheated hearing the same stories as a result mind.

My post was highlighting that D'arcy corrected himself when he said TV instead of saying telly!!

Ray's not fit to plug in Gay Byrne's microphone.

Hour and a half of a eulogy. Darcy couldn't even lace Gaybo shoes.

He'd make a bollix of even that task

Sad news. Great way to open an interview

I thought Vinny was persona non gratis on RTE.

couldn't think of anyone worse trying to do this

elperello

The dislike of Ray Darcy is well rehearsed on here but could I make a plea that posters just ease back on it for the day that's in it.
We just lost a really great broadcaster and this is a time to remember him and all the wonderful radio moments he gave us over the years.

generalgerry

Gay gave voice to people who no other would give a voice to, as opposed to Ray who gives voice to his own opinions and people with opinions similar to him.

generalgerry

Maxi was my favourite as well.

sligojoek

Sorry elperello I can't resist.

Will Ray pay tribute to Gay by going off clock for An Nuacht?

this man should be phoning from prison
