    I lasted about 30 seconds (as far as the Joan Burton gag) and suddenly Marty seemed like an attractive prospect. Says it all really.

    I got the idea to change over after thirty seconds as well. I thought you said I had no good ideas.. :(

    The RTE Search For Sandy? Should RTE not be carrying out their own Search To Replace Ryan Tubridy on 2FM ?

    I thought Katherine Thomas did a good job so far this week, seems to have done her research and engages genuinely with her guests. However this morning she's at some outside broadcast with a group of women going 'woo, woo", and she's back to her shouty loud 'winning streak' former self .Relax, Katherine for gods sake .

    Kathryn Thomas is absolutely perfect for that 9am-10am on Radio One.. they should just give the slot to her and move John Murray back behind the scenes.

    No - bring John M back to Morning Ireland. Hard news is his strong suit.

    Did anybody hear that segment this morning with the older men who married the younger women... One guy, Mick, married the daughter of a rugby buddy of his... 19 years his junior.. When Kathryn asked him what were the advantages of going out with somebody much younger than he he said.... "She has a load of hot mates".... :eek::eek: Thought it was a bit cringey tbh.

    John has managed to find a trio of people who are as funny as himself.

    Another round of stupid puns this morning... Does John actually think that this is funny.. Puns are not funny, they are the lowest laziest form of wit... "A man has won the longest beard competition.. he won it by a whisker"... Just stupid childish nonsense you would expect to hear on kids TV...

    They should just give the show to Kathryn Thomas.. She's surprisingly good on the radio, and she does go on with any of John's aul dubalin humour..

    I'd say she probably has been offered it ,but she is happy as she is , does the locum gigs and a load of other openings/ appearances etc. etc , she probably doesn't want to be tied down , afterall nothing good has come out of this slot for the last few years .

    Meant to post this yesterday but forgot - now listening to Playback has reminded me....

    John Murray interviewing Tommy Tiernan is possibly the worst combination on radio I can think of.

    There was a time I used to actually like TT's rantings and ravings, they had a humourous edge to them - but he'd sour milk these days, an unpleasant, nasty, bitchy, mean individual :mad:

    Going from Sinead O'Connor to an X-factor wannabe, leagues apart.

    If you took away John Murray's sound effects CD, I reckon there would be no show at all...

    Would I be considered sexist if I referred to the current guest as a clown?

    Why didnt Phil Chevron donate his guitars to the victims... I'm sure these guys in prison have enough of other people's stuff...

    "Some of the lads think they could have done a better job than Love/Hate"... scumbags...

    I think the idea is that the programme can lead to there being fewer victims after these lads get out. Rehabilitation is one of the purposes of prison.

    Same as that, had no idea who it was - but I thought he sounded slightly panicked/giggly/uncomfortable (can't quite find the right word) with his last guest.

    If that was his first time doing a chat show (it's the first time I've heard him certainly), that that was quite a baptism of fire!

    Fair play to him, he was very good.
