150KTubs - future career in Virgin Radio and other soulful pursuits **Mod: Read OP**

Dude. You don't need to tell us these things. It's not relevant to the conversation. I don't know why you do it. Just like your characteristion of almost everyone on here it's not necessary. You're overcompensating on an anonymous forum. As you say yourself this is not an important site.

The fact is Tubs is the subject of mirth a lot of the time and that's alright. He's had a honied career, based more on connections than talent, fair play to him, but many take grave and genuine exception to his carry over recent years. He's a symbol of much that is wrong with RTE and seems like a tone deaf ingrate. His stint on Virgin has been borderline ludicrous and amusing to observe. He should also give the Renault money back. Commenting on him, with some resentment admittedly, does not make us a bunch of sad, loser, parochial, rural, neckbeards as you continually imply.

Moderator: coolbeans was warned for this - ignoring Mod.

When I suggested you get help for your seething anger issues on another thread you reported me.

Of course they'll take the piss, but under the banner "we all partied"©(Fianna Fail circa 2009)

Dee Forbes will probably appear on dancing with the canteen.

Sure it's all lehman brothers fault. That's why we're still paying usc.

O and also,the government have given rte a €725m funding deal. Harris says it gives almost unprecedented certainty.

How any Virgin Radio UK listener tuning into the radio station for music could ever find this interesting is beyond me.

Sooo we're now gone below scrapping the barrel.

Don't get your hopes up.

How do you feel about the RTÉ scandal now? Do you think it is time to move on?

Noted that it was another broadcast from Q102 today. Hence, the heightened mood and irritating sounds when announcing artists or groups names. His link at 11:48 was indicative of this - referencing the importance of passing the learner driving test and then of course displaying classic Tubridy smugness, as one of his family members passed theirs this week (congratulations to her btw) which led to him making fun of some woman who he had seen driving with with her phone placed on her shoulder and pressed to her ear whilst her vehicle's 'L' plate was mounted upside down, which is actually by no means funny. This led to what sounded like a false cheesy in-studio background belly laughter session probably contributed to by his producer Conor, Scott Williams and also possibly Colburn - sounding like they are desperately trying to emulate some of the 1980's/90's presentation traits of syndicated radio shows such as "The Rick Dees Weekly Top 40" in which the producer/engineer Paul Liebeskind and writer Lon Weyland would contribute to background laughter and studio presence, but the difference is that they could do it effectively and naturally, something these wannabes along with Tubridy at Q102 could never manage even in their wildest dreams. Something similar happened during his link at 12:34 - some reference to Long John Silver, couldn't understand much more as he immersed himself into not finishing words/sentences mode and uncontrollable (Oh look I'm back in Ireland!) laughter.

I would say he is requesting them to facilitate Friday broadcasts from Q102 more often so he can spend more of his weekends in Dublin. Probably will see or rather hear more of this going forward but it will never gloss over the end result and that is: It makes no difference to Virgin/Wireless or the listener as his show is a turkey no matter where it is broadcast from.
