    Thought that myself last week. Maybe he had a minor stroke at some stage. Someone I know did and sometimes has a similar "slur".

    Aah ok.... hope I didn’t upset anyone.... not something I like to do.

    Just a theory. I could be totally wrong.

    Who produces the show, that's a very good question.

    The show is actually produced by throwing lots of words into a big tank. Out the bottom of the tank comes a large pipe. These words travel along this large intestine like pipe for a couple of hours where they are processed. Out the end of this pipe pops the Ray D’Arcy Show.

    I doubt it's that well organised.

    Really Sad story, must be really hard for her with 3 young kids. My wife follows her on Instagram and she gets awful abuse on her account apparently.

    That’s a sign for her to get offline then..Attention seeking works both ways..

    Yep. What I find difficult about his pontification is that some of us are so down/anxious/confused when out and about now are utterly unable to be "kind". We know we *should* be so then end up feeling worse.

    Now I wouldn't be nasty to anyone but I don't think I am particularly kind to strangers at the moment either because I am so caught up in my own head or I feel just a little threatened re: COVID. First time I have realised that and admitted that hmmmm.

    Re Traveller interview - for once I am seeing Ray doing the right thing and properly questioning the interviewees, ie asking are a lot of their problems not the making of the community itself.

    Yes that was nicely done. One of the panel members said that is what she felt and then he went along that line of questioning. Very insightful and interesting piece actually.

    This sort of reminds me of the South Park episode where Cartman finds out Family Guy is written by manatees :pac:

    He really is the most boring man alive isn't he.


    Home alone without the wife and kids and he'll spend his week alone eating curry he makes on the Monday night and watching old films.

    Does he have any friends at all I wonder?

    "1994 I remember Paul McGrath was everywhere Schillaci was."
    An exceptional achievement given that Schillaci wasn't even at the World Cup in 1994.

    I checked back to make sure that it wasn't me who was the gobsh1te.

    Ray: "It must have been something to do with 1994 because that was the year when we went to USA 94 and we went to the Giant's Stadium, and Ray Houghton scored against Italy we beat them 1-0, and Paul McGrath played out of his skin and he had the game of his life. He defended like four men. There was one stage in the game where Schillaci came at him and he defended, and he came at him again and he defended again, and he was on the ground and he got up and defended again and I think he hit it off the side of his head and it was just amAzing stuff, amAzing stuff"

    Amazing stuff indeed Ray. Oh, just one more thing - it never f**king happened.
