    The show is a microcosim of whats happening in ireland today..people have been taking the piss based on thier connections and political bias for years.
    The celtic Tiger is dead..its zookeepers need to be kicked out of a job..they're holding the country back.

    totally agree any cheerleader of that corrupt cabal who have bankrupted this country are all out of time and just seem really crass and out of touch with todays reality

    That angry racist German stereotype voice he does to depict ANY German person is utterly despicable.
    I'm glad I didn't witness any German national listening to that outburst.

    I hate the way he has to turn absolutly every topic/discussion back on to himself.

    Someone rings in about a dog - well i had a dog.............

    Someone rings in about a child problem - well my Rex & my Bab's........

    Someone rang in about a big bust size problem this morning - i know exactly where your coming from he said............

    Allthough to be fair to him i sort of guess he could get where that woman with the 46DD breasts was coming from...

    Seriously though i reckon he is just making half of that scuther up about being able to relate to having an experience for every problem or experience someone else is having or had.

    Same old thing out of him everyday now too, the O2, New York, Sex & himself, time for a change in my opinion.

    Considerthis got a mention in a roundabout way there he said that he cant even mention the Shelbourne Hotel without someone writing in asking is he getting paid for the plug

    Wow, same old thing here everyday too! I've been reading many threads recently, and this thread is such a whinge-fest. What is it about this presenter that generates such a lot of negative comment from the same guys, almost daily?

    He might be the worst presenter in the world, but why fo on about it all the time.

    I caught his show once or twice since being in Ireland and he's not too bad.

    I agree, there does seem to be something funny about these posts, but not in the amusing kind of way.

    Is this true? And if so, how did they know? :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,425 ✭✭✭telekon


    tut tut...can't have the G.Ryan thread on page 2 of the radio forum!!! I thought it had been deleted there for a second.

    Can't let the big man (big being the operative word) think we're forgetting about his inane presenting style now can we, his ego couldnt take it.



    on further reflection, a simple 'bump' was all that was needed here.:rolleyes:

    Did i hear correctly this morning when he said he was good mates with Mr Boucher from BOI?

    I believe so, if he is from South Africa and gets up to teach rugby to the kids on a Sunday morning, its him

    did rte censor the replay of today's gerry ryan show with the interview with paul williams


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare


    Is anyone else listening? Twink is batsh*t crazy :eek::eek:

    Is she mad or pi$$ed....or both?

    You are a khaki coloured bombardier, it's Hiroshima that you're nearing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare


    Both I think. I only caught the end. I have to listen back on the RTE player later. Quality stuff! I tuned in when she was telling Gerry that both of them (herself & Gerry) earned "decent" wages but neither of them were millionaires :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,807 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    She was/is definitely off her trolley.

    Wouldn't answer any direct question. Went on for ages about women of Ireland going to her show and actually seemed to embarrass Gerry when she spoke about the money they earn.

    In the end Ryan seemed to give up and basically said 'Good Luck' and cut her off.

    She obviously has a high image of herself.

    This might explain her behaviour.




    Show pulled as Twink hospitalised
    Stage performer Twink has been forced to cancel a show tonight after being hospitalised earlier today.
    Twink was taken to a hospital in Dublin, by ambulance, after becoming unwell shortly after lunchtime today.
    She has since been transferred to a second hospital.
    It is believed that she had an adverse reaction to some allergy and asthma medication that she was taking.
    The opening night of 'Menopause: The Musical', due to take place at the Tivoli tonight, has been cancelled as a result of Twink's illness.
    The show's producer Robert C Kelly, who is also acting as a judge on 'Fame: The Musical', said: "I, with the rest of the cast and crew, wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to opening the show with Adele in the next day or two."
    Those who purchased tickets for tonight's show can get a refund or exchange tickets by contacting the Tivoli box office directly.

    Me arse.

    She sounded pissed/drugged this morning and I'd say she was in no fit state to do any show. It's the usual excuse for these people when they go on a bender.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,846 ✭✭✭✭eth0_


    She may not have been hospitalised for something physical...that doesn't mean to say she wasn't hospitalised.

    I'd say people shouldn't make rash judgements about others without having access to the full facts.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,914 ✭✭✭✭tbh


    Please - no more comments about twink on the show yesterday. I'd remind posters that they are responsible for what they write on boards, and if legal action is taken, it will be against you, and not boards.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,914 ✭✭✭✭tbh


    that said, I have just listened, and it is hilarious.

    Jesus, that Twink interview was painful listening. Good.:D

    Gerry was fair quick to change the subject when money was brought up (for once), he didnt know what she was gonna go on about next.

    Anyone hear him sing "Welcome, to my World" when talking about Bertie and the FF ministers giving up/holding on to their pensions etc. It was apt both in a financial sense and a FF sense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 490 ✭✭delop


    The song Gerry's producer played after her interview made me laugh :-)
