I think when it comes to children "getting punched around", the harder hitting the better.

EDIT: read that back, and I don't intend any pun.........

They have the same Voice Actor as the famous Barry's Tea Christmas ad

Just on that.. It was Peter Caffrey who voiced that ad, and he passed away a few years ago, so it wouldn't be him doing this one.

God.... I'm starting to see why people on here don't like Mairead..... that segment just there about gifts was painful. She's so whiny.

She's a tool. Up her own hole and loves herself...

Eh, I don't like the Ray D'Arcy show myself and I accidentally came across this thread but I had a read over the last few pages and there really are some ar*eholes here.

Let me make this as simple as possible because most of you are idiots. If you don't like the show, don't listen to it. It really doesn't get much simpler than that.

Doh, maybe if you bothered to read the whole thread you would see that there are alot of people out there who have a shared workplace and have to choice but to listen to the show!

Haven't listened to it in at least 5. I used to enjoy it, then found myself hating it so guess what? I stopped listening to it.

Why did he let your one away with googiling the answers to the questions in the Competition this morning???

Yea, that's when he should have let her have it big time, bad liar.

If I was Ray, I would have told her "We don't give prizes to cheats like you" hung up and dedicated a phone in segment to people like her tomorrow.

Can someone tell me her suggestions for a present for a wife. I heard something in the background about making up a small hamper thing.. What I actually want is to make up something from out little baby to her..

Yep I rarely text the show but I had to after that. Blatant cheating. The neck on your woman.

All Ray said after the ad break was "Competitions. Sure who'd do them." He was obviously getting a load of texts about it.

I hope someone sends in a big email about it and how he shouldn't allow cheaters and he has to read it out.

mikep · 08-12-2011 11:56am

The show is car crash radio this morning...

Non funny Andrew Maxwell pretending to be an Elf.

I think he (Ray) is getting worse as things go on...perhaps his team are to blame as each morning his paper review sounds like its the first he heard of it...

Still no decent alternatives though....:eek:

Clanket · 08-12-2011 12:02pm

Yeh Maxwell just isn't funny. Terrible show this morning other than the woman from the LauraLinn foundation.

Still like it most other days though.

DuckStab · 08-12-2011 12:10pm

Another out of tune, breathy, lo-fi rendition of a Christmas song begets waves of "OMG LET HER SING FOREVER" texts, shocker!

"Eh just one second, eh, eh, eh" then blurts out the name of some poet and the full title of a poem. Very obvious, and agree that he should have just pulled the plug on it and got another genuine contestant.

And the guest rotation of the same unfunny comedians is just stupid at this stage.

Painfully out of tune at times.

I was tempted to text in "I'm in tears listening here ... plese make her stop"

Lisa Hannigan was awful, could not believe she was so badof course Ray was straight in with wow that was fantastic! Also why when he has Dustin on does he feel the need to try and be someone he is not? He started mumbling about wearing Jenny's shoes in the bedroom and then moved on quickly as he embarrassed himself!

Deedsie · 09-12-2011 1:21am

This thread is embarrassing, surely the time has come for a new thread on the Ray Darcy show. The bitching that goes on here is horrible. The entire boards.ie website is getting a bad name in society as a playground for giving out about anything and everything.

God forbid fans of the show want to discuss it without having to wade through the pathetic whinings and insults of these anonymous internet critics. Will ye get a fúckén life ye losers.

amiable · 09-12-2011 1:31am

May i suggest that if people don't like other people's opinions on D'Arcy that they go start an appreciation thread or enter a logical debate as to why they disagree.

Clanket · 09-12-2011 11:13am

I think the appreciation thread is a good idea.

I know I'm sick of defending a show that people have the option to turn off if they don't like.

Wow.

How many times? Some of us don't have that option!

Clanket · 09-12-2011 11:45am

Elvis you're a decent contributor to this thread. It's the people that come in just to give out about a show they supposedly don't listen to that gets on my wick.

I think if we had a thread that was just for discussion (good and bad) and didn't have that poll at the top, the one off posters would tend to stay out.

Wertz · 09-12-2011 11:57am

So one off posters aren't entitled to contribute...unless it's positive? Some who don't listen regularly or at all may have heard it on the bus or in a shop or where ever, as I did this morning, (few things have changed since this thread started 4 yrs back IMO, Ray & Jenny still as annoying as ever) and feel like mentioning it.
'That' poll is long since closed although I'm not sure why the poll is an issue, discussion can take place in a thread with a poll.

Clanket · 09-12-2011 12:06pm

I think I may be thinking more of the Ray Foley show. That thread gets pretty tedious with people coming in to call him all sorts.

Carry on (giving out

).

You must be related to D'Arcy if you don't want people criticising him! :pac: :pac: (that's a joke in case any of ye don't read the foley show thread.

)

wnolan1992 · 09-12-2011 12:47pm

Ah lads! That competition was a joke!

"Who wrote Wurthering Heights?"
"Um........um............um.........."
"Need an answer?"
"Ummm............ummmmmmmm.....ummmmmm"
"Need an answer quick as you can?"
"aaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmm......................."
"Emily Bronte!"
"Yeah! You win!"

Couldn't have been more obviously Googled if they had said "Hold on Ray I'm not that fast at typing."

LowOdour · 09-12-2011 12:47pm

Looks like we had another 'googeler' on the competition today. While he should call them up on it, he has no way to really prove it so what can he do.

What I cannot believe is how stupid/ignorant/uneducated people really are. Did these people ever go to school. I don't know which was worse, this fool googling Wuthering Heights (one of the best books ever) or the other fool saying that Cecelia Ahern wrote Persuasion. Are these people literate? Are people watching too much TV? Or are the Irish just a nation of Turnips? Really sad!!!

Wertz · 09-12-2011 5:24pm

Wuthering Heights surely...

As for googling quizzes, f*ckin' sad... those idiots that take their iphone to the bog during table quizzes and the like need it flushing down the pan.
Ask the same people on the phone-in who was in the xfactor final or whatever and they wouldn't be doing online searches I'll bet...

Hi Wertz, dont bother engaging with back seat mods, on threads like these they tend to be vested interests that don't like to face harsh realities...
