    Ah here! You leave Mary Lou alone!

    I would too. ;)


    Back to D'Arcy, I heard in the brief bit of the show I listened to this morning that he's getting "Stop, Stop, Eject, Eject!" t-shirts made.

    In a way, I suppose you have to admire the fact that he can take the piss out of himself, but at the same time it's kind of baffling that he seems comfortable with not being able to work fairly basic radio equipment after 10+ years presenting.

    I guess that he must be fairly confident that his job is safe,so he says to himself why bother trying to do my job with any degree of competency

    Eibhlin Cusack seemed like a really good guest. I have never heard outside of her weather forecasts and she seemed like good fun. Of course Ray has to go and keep interuppting her and then like you said go to an Ad break just after he cut her short for the 'important' guest.

    She has been on Moncriefs opening half hour segment once or twice, she's well able to talk engagingly when given the chance

    Ray mentioned the listenership figures today which I think are due soon. If his figures were down he reckons it would mainly be because many of his listeners have emigrated (ie Enda Kenny`s fault). The morning the figures are released poor Enda`s going to be the subject of a major rant methinks

    He wouldn't be totally wrong either.

    I mean, it's not like the opposition are putting forward a decent alternative to account for any potential loss.

    You're slightly misquoting him there now.

    How fascinating is Alex James! Really enjoyed that interview. Seems a really nice, interesting guy.

    He asked Alex James if he drank wine with his cheese. Top quality research there. Just couldn't believe it.

    Big test of Rays interviewing skills now with Sean Kelly, will he ask him the million dollar question?

    He had a problem with alcohol. He has described himself as an alcoholic and borderline alcoholic. It just seems a bit like he never thought about it.

    Well Ray was only 18 years late with his Blur vs Oasis question.

    He'll touch on the doping issue with Kelly but that'll be as much as he'll do - a la his hero Gay Byrne back in the day.

    Ah Jaysus you're being a bit hard on Ray there, in fairness not everyone drinks wine. And as it turns out, Alex said he preferred beer with wine. I know Ray can ask stupid questions but that one was ok.

    Alex came across really well there, I'd say he's dead on.

    Sean Kelly still has a grand thick South Tipp accent anyway, seems a very nice man too.

    He didn't ask Kelly the big questions. If he had a politician in with him he would of gone after them while not letting them answer.

    Munford and sons ffs I hate them so much since Ray played them three times a day. If daft punk come on before theend of the show I'll break down.

    Kimmage has a bee in his bonnet about certain riders, it's definitely bordering on a personal vendetta regarding Kelly.

    Froome was disqualified from a race 2 years ago for hanging onto a motorcycle while going up a mountain. He's rise to the winner of the Tour in this time has correctly raised some eyebrows.

    Once bitten, twice shy.

    Or do we just jump on the Team Sky/Team GB bandwagon with closed eyes?

    Kimmage has carved an unpopular path for himself and until the sport is clean and proven to be clean, his suspicions and investigations are appreciated.
