    Mark Lawrenson on Today FM when talking football. He poses a question after nearly every sentence. "'That's was some goal, wasn't it?"
    "Not a bad 'keeper', is he?"

    Chris Donoghue could get a job cutting diamonds.

    Matt Cooper - posing quite obviously loaded questions designed to elicit an equally obvious response. And of course 'widge' for which and "your nooooos with Juliet Gash"

    Completely agree with this about Matt Cooper! He seems to have gotten worse putting words in to people's mouths with obviously outlandish statements and waiting for them to react. I thought it was really interesting yesterday evening when he had a guy from Chambers Ireland (or some such business representation) and he was hoping he would get in to a slagfest about local authorities and water charges/leak fixing. He didn't get his way when the guy seemed to be defend the amounts spent and in fact seemed quite pragmatic about what had been done and what needed to be done.

    Also the way he says The-A-tre...

    Mary Wilson saying "uz" instead of "us". She's still much better, focused and factual than Hook and his egocentric "me, me, me" programme with silly supertrolls like Michael Graham.

    Yes, definitely. That's if he even shows up... He hardly ever seems to be hosting the show these days

    Chris Donoghue

    1 - inability to pronounce the letter 'T', i had to switch off around the time they were talking alot about priests abuse and 'de vaddican'

    2- i'm here with Mr Yeats, its always 'Mr Yeats'

    3- i'm joined on the line by John Smith, Hi John its good to speak to you, now John my question is....

    plus newstalks presenters ability to plead with you to text in every 30 seconds or so...still warts and all newtalk is streets ahead of RTE

    Des Cahill - anything that exits his mouth gets me angry, last week, 'splutter splutter, sneeze, sniff...now in rugby news that Mike Tindall fella who is married to the royal one' seriously Des, a little bit of professionalism...please?

    Ray D'arcy taking a massive gulping intake of breath after every time he laughs, sounds like he's attempting to re-inflate.

    George Hook's put-on American accent; "Join us on FACEBUHK DTHAT CAM, or THWIDDER." "When I was in BWASTHAN..." (Boston), so forth.

    Tony Fentons rhyming slang...

    George Hooks interviewing (himself) - usually tells a big story about himself/his childhood etc and then just asks "do you agree?" - doesn't seem to listen to the answer and then takes into his next antedote....

    Larry Gogan starts every sentence with a little laugh/chuckle (is he still on radio - I dont listen to 2fm that much)

    Will Leahy, is it? on 2fm - always seems to shouting about the weekend coming up..
