    That's an interesting approach to things. You must be doing a fair bit of laughing, tell me do people ever look at you a bit funny?

    Changed the station in work today for the first time in years,went thru all the stations and still ended up on today fm,there is no alternative to ray,as much as i give out about him he seems to be the best of a bad bunch,we even tuned in to lyric fm for a while(pure desperation me thinks):)

    I had a listen for 5 mins to that Colm fella over on RTE2 a couple of weeks ago. Jumping Jesus on a pogostick! He's terrible! He read out a couple of stories to demonstrate 'PC gone mad'. Not one of the stories was in any way about political correctness.

    Not sure if you can make that judgement assuming you can't have spent more than 10 or 15 minutes on any channel, you obviously like the Ray D'arcy show, good luck to ya.
    I'll always tune in for a while every day, part of the reason for that is that it is quite an interesting show, if the presenter wasn't such a wánker it could be a very good show, he gets good guests and covers news in an accessible way(if only he'd keep his opinions in check a little),

    I prefer to listen to Tom Dunne but he hasn't the pulling power of Ray for guests.

    @swiper the fox,well we left it on each station for a couple of hours,there is only two or three to pick from so we got a good listen to each,like i said they weren't great either,i preferred darcy years ago when he would play a lot more music,might give tom dunne a blast tomorrow,i thought he was alright when he was on today fm

    If he's going to go off on the evils of alcohol in the workplace route, he might want to have a look at the condition Mairead Farrell presents herself for work in every other Friday. I expect to hear him demanding her be sacked as well...unless he's a populist windbag, and that couldn't be..could it?

    Also, the daily anti-Enda Kenny monologue is getting tiresome and predictable at this stage. Wasn't he supposed to leave the country or something...

    Maybe, but he certainly doesn't do himself any favours by moaning all the time. When something comes along that he genuinely has a case to get a bunt up to his soapbox, it's difficult not to think it's just Ray having his usual 9am moan.

    he ranted about drinking in the dail, describing it as "horrific"!

    the murder of the 2 pensioners was horrific, drinking in the dail is not, he loves to get up on the soapbox and have a moan, every fecking morning he has a moan, cant he just enjoy these sunny mornings, come to work, be happy, or does he look for something to moan about, just for the sake of it.

    Again today he complained about Kenny, about the dail majority that the government has. For all his talk about the abortion legislation, all his moaning, sighing, not good enough comments, he has no ideas of his own, he never makes a positive comment, always the one to complain about what is wrong, but never the one to have a suggestion to fix it.

    thats my moan for today now.....

    oh and, I'm 5ft 11....

    And his head is way too big for his body.

    I like a good cut off Ray as much if not better than anyone, not too sure about guys setting up accounts just to have a go at his height though, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the show or this thread

    I'd agree. His own height or appearance hasn't got a whole lot to do with the show in fairness. Unless of course he's bringing it into conversation on a show himself!

    The whole drug thing he's talking about now is an important subject, but the weather has me in way too much of a good mood to want to listen to a show about it on the radio!

    There would have to be something seriously amiss with you to want to give birth live on the radio. What's worse is the D'arcy team have been bugging the Coombe to let them be present in the delivery suite. Thankfully they've said no but Ray said just there that they are going to keep on at them. Exhibitionism in the extreme

    What? Is this for real? He'll be granteed to get six months of texts from idiots in bits/tears/emotional.

    He came out with the "as a father of two kids" line again. No one cares about other peoples kids!!! It's one of the most boring and annoying things to talk about.
