I organised a surf trip last summer for a group. 2 nights bed and food and a few activities per day. It was great craic. Went on the website to maybe book again this summer - price increased by 90euro. One activity has been replaced by a 'beach walk' along with the existing hike.


Love supporting irish in the good times and bad but most places with gouge the eyes out of your head given half a chance. It's some money maker for them.

I know someone who went on wan o dem in Rossnowlagh last summer.

I bet Jack hates his teacher and hates books.

Not.

Tubridy really is a very, very strange broadcaster.

generalgerry

That should be the theme song for Tubridy's Late Late Show. It completely captures the mood of the show.

Too many listeners were enjoying themselves listening to Stayin' Alive earlier.
Must whip the plebs back to RT's way of thunking.

WTF is this dirge???

It's the latest faux atmospheric stripped down remake of a classic song. So beloved of TV programmes as background and theme music.

John Lewis got ahead of the game a number of years ago, and now everyone is copying them.

Totally formulaic.

“Is says in the tabloids” more like. For a man who claims to be the world’s most voracious reader, his choice of newspapers leaves a lot to be desired.

The fact that one of the said tabloids has never ending stories about our Ryan and his LLS helps get them a mention.

And don't believe all this high brow and "Im a massive reader" stuff from Tubs. It's to create a persona and an image of himself that frankly I don't think is true.

Sometimes when I take a break from work in the afternoons I go downstairs and the programme with Dáithí and Maura would be on. Dáithí just behaves like a normal human on air, so easy and natural and good natured, similar to how natural Tommy Tiernan comes across. Even BOC seems normal. When I see ryan I just get a sense of pure tension and insincerity ALL THE TIME. Its like an alien trying to blend in as a human making the noises and faces a human would make in situations but having to consciously think about what to do and make an actual effort to do it and it just comes across as false and puts people off.

Jonah Hill has probably done his fair share of interviews and picked up in it quick enough and I think that clip, the moment last week when he begged Ghrohl to compliment Irish fans and some clip of him making his 'compassionate face' as he asks someone about a recent death would be a fair summation of the mans work to date.

Very true about Maura and Daithi. I think part of the problem is that he has been in RTE since he was a child, and doesn't really have much life experience.

I missed the end of the show. What happened?

Nerdlingr

Unwittingly Heard some bits of Ryan's shows the last week or so... I like them as much as the next man but my god, this bee gee obsession has gone too far !! Is he working off commission for them or what?

Had to laugh at him saying this morning that midnight cowboy and saturday night fever are two very different films and opposite end of the spectrum. I take it him and a lot of other people have never watched saturday night fever - all they know are the songs and think its a bright, happy, all sparkly disco musical. Its a look at a bunch of

horrible young racist men stuck in no good, dead-end jobs who gang rape women, father unwanted children, commit suicide, battle with the oppression of family and the catholic church but who find some kind of solace from their worlds on the dance floors of seedy nightclubs

. The music is great and uplifting but maybe he should actually rewatch the movie.

Bit like all the mountains of books he supposedly reads.

Although i am sure he reads some books, I'd say he reads reviews of many other books and pretends he has read them.

Express / Cowboy ....
my point is SNF isnt the all singing , all dancing disco fest Ryan seems to think it is.

Mod - I've deleted a couple of posts. Whilst we may critique Ryan's presenting style, please let's not go too much beyond that on this thread.

Ryan, are we keeping within our 5 kilometres?

The other day he referred to his "local shop" in The Rise, Mount Merrion. Now we hear about Dún Laoghaire pier. That's quite the walk. Of course could be visiting mother etc too.

mistersifter

Don't worry everyone living abroad, we've sent you copies of Ireland's Own as per Ryan's paid promotion kind suggestion last week.

Visit a graveyard? That's more Joe Duffy's idea of a day out.

Bellbottoms

Turned on the radio and the first thing I hear is "Visit a graveyard". Turns radio off. No idea what the context was.

TheHomeService

A made up email.

It was among a list of suggestions of things to do during pandemic.

Rabble rousing Ryan. Thought that was Duffy's speciality too.

Another cemetery mention.

Ryan now trolling people who are nervous of catching Covid, telling them not to go out if they are nervous.

Astonishing! Ryan tells us everyone is obeying the regulations. When a listener informs him that some people aren’t obeying distancing rules, he tells them ( the listener ) not to go out!!!!!

There were quite a few of those this morning, and texts. All sounding suspiciously like they were penned by the same staffer writer. Conspiratorial of me no doubt. I'm probably a bad egg too.

His stupid put on accents really annoyed me this morning even more than usual - if that was possible.

I've said this before. Ryan is basically a younger, posher, slightly better educated clone of the Duffmeister.

ButtersSuki

I didn't watch TLLS, how bad was the Bee Gees interview?

TheHomeService

Cemeteries, Funerals, videoing corpses.

Is it 13.45?

A beautiful funeral

A beautiful funeral no less.

That "yeeeeees" thing he does constantly :mad:

Walking stick with Sherlock holmes head, given to him by a beautiful antique shop..... and no shock horror - it's related to the current caller.

Mr Velo

Toy show mention...... check.

There is something very off and very strange about a multi-millionaire tax avoider constantly shilling for things for free which he can well afford. Aside from the whiff of entitlement from it, it's actually very sad on many levels.

And they are related to the quaint other-worldly horologist who was on the Toy Show as a chisler.
