Is Derek Mooney a bit thick?

I am listening to the guy talking about the Birthday Paradox, which is quite interesting. Now apart from the fact he keeps interrupting the guy, he is talking utter rubbish.

Like the guy said "To guarantee 2 people in a room share a birthday, you have to have a total of 367 people in the room". And Derek goes "IS that true?". Thats basic maths Derek!

Then the guy goes, "How many people do you need for a 50/50 chance that 2 people share a birthday? and Derek goes "Err double?"

And I think Brenda should keep her mouth shut in segments like this.

Is there one for Derek Mooney?

I'd like to have a bit of a moan about him

Fixed.

I couldn't believe my ears when hearing this yesterday, especially given that the bit about having 367 people in the room was just the preamble to part about the 50% probability needing just 23 people.

Also, when the text came in about adding the last two digits of the year you were born and the age you'll be this year and getting 111, they seemed amazed

I found that very annoying. Should up and listen to what he is saying, this is the introduction to the story, not the story itself.

Brenda was a bit slow at that bit too. It took her about 5 minutes to add 2 numbers.

Yes, I can't stand him. How this guy is earning a 6 figure salary i don't know.

I think you've just started it.

At last.

Yesterday Mooney said Irish people should do the patriotic thing and holiday in this country.

I think someone needs to take the patriotic stick out of his arse and allow people to give him a smack on the head with it. If people want to get away from this sheep's arse of a country then they damn well should be able to without some tit bleating on about patriotism

Rarely listen to Mooney - if I'm near a radio I listen to Sean Moncrief instead - far better.

Derek is sufferin from a bad case of Risin' Camp, IMO. I sometimes tune in at the start of the show for a laugh to hear how clichéd the topics he's going to be talking about are. Today it's memorabilia for the queen and someone that won a competition to star in a musical.

Definitely going for the oulwan/pink audience. Come back Shirley Temple-Bar - all is forgiven!

I thought I'd give this thread a chance, but it seems to have been set up specifically to question a presenter's intelligence, not to talk about the radio programme he presents. Can anyone give me a good reason NOT to lock it?

Well, the topics he has on a daily basis seem to appeal to the lowest common denominator...Jedward, Mary byrne, All Ireland Talent Show, the Eurovision...

Not exactly the kind of programming that challenges the old brain cells. The wildlife stuff is the only redeeming quality it seems...
