Radio - Least favourite dj

lordgoat

ok, just a selection as i've recently been exposed to morning/daytime radio for the first time in a few years. It's gotten worse.

Who do you instantly turn off?

Nightwish

Phil Cawley

Most of them piss me off. I would say everyone on Today FM except Matt Cooper do my head in, oh and lets not forget the two goons on the 2fm Breakfast show.

Mossy Monk

Phil Cawley

Tony Fenton is surely favourite to land this title.

Nightwish

Phil Cawley

Thats who my vote went to! I loathe him and I'm on a mission, albeit futile, to get him off the air.

davejones

Phil Cawley

Yeah, Tony for the win.

Sinfonia

Phil Cawley

Tony

lordgoat

Ray Darcy

Seriously, the worst of the lot is Foley, think about it, imagine him when he's fenton's age. He's an total arsehole. Not funny and extremely boring. And as for his minions? Is there a more demeaning job??

John

Ray Darcy

Plus Foley doesn't like boards so he must be the worst by default.

Ruth Scott - I really dislike this woman

Zaph

Phil Cawley

Tony Fenton gets my vote - does he speak to his family with that stupid accent? - but Anne Marie Kelly runs him very close.

Ha Ha!!! The Fent, the writing is surely on the wall. Take your "crackin' tunes" and be off with you!

I'm sure Van Morrison will give you a job.

Robbo

Ray Darcy

Ray Foley. The auditory equivalent of coming home to find that the cats been sick everywhere.

Hermy

DJ is an abbreviation of the term disc jockey. All of the above are radio presenters so this whole thread is pointless regardless of the relative demerits or otherwise of those names mentioned.:rolleyes:

*awaits the barrage of abuse*

Ha, that made me and my housemate laugh out loud.

Darcy for me...just cant stomach the guy

Don't forget Gerry Ryan gets a nice chunk of your license fee, I think thats worth two votes, at least the commercial stations don't look for handouts for their deadweight.

You're not alone!!

It's between dempsey and fenton for me but darcy has got pretty damn annoying too!!

Anyone else from the midwest would surely agree that 'Mark & Catriona on the breakfast show'on Limerick live95fm are the worst DJ's ever to grace this planet.

Oh Christ, don't get me started on that nasal little gimp, and his 'hilarious' sidekicks; Vinnie, you are not funny. I hate everyone on that station, the whole thing is chav to the core.

Quite like Foley though....sorry:o

Phil Cawley

I like Ray Foley too.

Tony Fenton makes me want to smash the radio with my sledgehammer.

MrJoeSoap

Ian Dempsey

Can't stand Gerry Ryan and his ball of snot.

Holmer

Phil Cawley

I almost like Fenton in a weird way, just to hear what clanger he's going to drop next. He really reminds me of Smashie & Nicey. Poptastic

Rarely a truer word spoken, and that's based on hearing clips from the show during ad breaks on Live95

Ray Foley, now there's a funny man

JIZZLORD

Phil Cawley

luckily for me i wasnt in charge of paying for my tv license, so my hard earned money doesn't go to gerry "jabba the hut" ryan.

i also hate tony fenton.
"yeah, great song, great song"

purplegeko

Tony Fenton

Love Ray Foley; funny funny guy. He bounces off adele and JP really well.

I have gone off Ray Darcy completely recently he just gets up my nose!

gsxr1

Phil Cawley

Tony Fenton is such a cheesy git.

he makes me cringe

Badabing

Ian Dempsey

Rick o' shea and Ruth Scott terrible together even worse on their own.

wet-paint

Ian Dempsey

I'm surprised Gerry Ryan isn't leading this poll. The man finds a way to tell us every day what colour the poo was that he proudly made this morning, or that he got his tubes tied( or at least it was that way the last time I heard him).
And Joe Duffy's not even on this poll? Wow. Although to be fair it's his callers that annoy the p1ss out of me more than he himself.

Zirconia

Tony Fenton

I used to like Ray Darcy when he started on TodayFM, but he's become such an opinionated git - maybe they should change the name of the show to "In Ray Darcy's opinion....."? His ideas on what is morally correct are a real pain in the arse, and dare you disagree with him, I'm sure he give you a clout with his handbag.

He also tends to make statements which he thinks they might be a bit controversial, and appends "I dunno, I dunno?" to the end, as if to say, If it all goes pear shaped with the public, I wash my hands of that last comment.

did he say this on air what was he talking about
i voted turbridy i like most of the djs on today fm

Shoot me, but I'm not a fan of Cormac Battle. He comes across like a version of Jack Black in High Fidelity, without the comedy value. The sneeringly cooler than thou indie kid schtick is tolerable when people are young, but c'mon...

Pj!

Gerry Ryan

I like Foley as well. I also listen to Darcy but as with others he has started annoying me. We were talking about this in the pub a few weeks back and it seems this is the opinion of many lately.
Still better than a lot of other rubbish though.

Other Shothead

Turbridy is the worst thing ever to happen to the media in Ireland. Thankfully though I can avoid him now

Gerry Ryan's been up his own arse for about 8 years now.

Fenton/Foley/Cawley are ridiculous. Has Smashey'n'Nicey not taught them anything?

Darcy is just a younger Pat Kenny. Equally as square, but at least Kenny doesn't want to do llight.

Dempsey's about the only one I can tolerate for more than 10 seconds. And even then I can only take short bursts

Ian Dempsey

I like Foley, I find him entertaining. Despise Gerry Ryan. Ruth Scott is a pain (and now its Ruths Truth. Who cares you bag)

I doubt any of them know Smashey'n'Nicey. If the did they might learn something.

Glad to see i'm not alone in my views!

Presume you mean Adelle & JP? One is a producer and co-presenter of a national radio show, the other is a co-presenter, researcher and scriptwriter of a national radio show. It's not a demeaning job ........

In your opinion it is not a demaning job, in mine i couldn't imagine anything worse. Scriptwriter - my arse, and as for the production...


Reminds me of what Zapp Brannigan says:

Zapp Brannigan: Fry, I am demoting you. Kif, what's the most humiliating job?
Kif: Being your assistant.
Zapp Brannigan: Wrong! Being your assistant!

The lads from the Strawberry alarm clock, Colm and Jim Jim win it by a mile for me. The accents just go through my head, I cant stand to listen to them..Ian Dempsey is class!

Fenton is a ****
same with Darcy
funnily enough I quite like Gerry Ryan

Snake Plisken

Phil Cawley

Fenton wins this hands down, Don't mind Gerry to much he keeps me amused.
Why the hell isn't that turd Will Leahy on here? Now he is an annoying!!!!

Clare Bear

Ray Darcy

I used to like Ray Foley but he does my head in now. He thinks he's the next big thing (I highly doubt that) and he can't take criticism....you'll notice that if anyone posts anything remotely negative (could be as small as "that wasn't great Ray") on his blog/you tube he'll delete it straight away, he can give but he can't take, probably the main reason for me not liking him....that and those other two eejits he does his show with and their stupid catch phrases...don't get me started on their daily entertainment update! :mad:

Before you ask, it's on at work, other people listen to it so I don't have much of a choice really.
