The same happened to my dad. I imagine hundreds of people call in. Do you remember who they put on instead?

My dad was going to complain about the lack of attention given to special needs patrons at concerts and such after bringing my sister to Westlife which I thought was pretty noble but probably wasn't good radio. I think they like the topics that can be debated.

There are two types of people who ring Joe, the brave and the foolish.

Sunnyisland

I have never rang in, But as far as i know they look for controversial topics or topics which they know will get a strong reaction and THEY ring the people involved and then await the great peoples response.

pow wow

No, I'm not from Dublin :rolleyes:

Badgermonkey

Why are they always named Fidelma?

They moan about a broad range of issues in Irish society but I'd wager dryness in the vaginal area is the root cause of 75% of complaints.

also the hysterical and ignorant, like the Modern Warfare 2 discussion in November 09, I'd usually never listen but was travelling that day and heard they were talking about it, blood boiling ignorance from hysterical mothers seems to be the core audience of Joe.

Lucozade man

Duffy got the head shops closed down but he wouldnt open his mouth about his mate G Ryan doing the real thing.

He's probably doing it too. They all are, and I know for a fact PK is. And we're paying for it. I love this country so much.:rolleyes:

I think he's suggesting it's only moaney Dubs who call in.

Fcuk his radio show have you ever watched his show on RTE on Sun called spirit level. It has to be the greatesr pile of wank in the history of TV. Of course we the licence payer fund this sh1te. Joe just fcuk off back to Ballyfermot with your mammy you fcuking gob sh1te.

He only deals with the gripers. When I first started with a Telecom company a few years back he dedicated a whole day to us. We were able to cross check the callers with their issues and almost every one of them put the most sensational spin on their case. 'An Eircom engineer will have to be dispatched to the site in order to attend to the fault and it should be resolved in 3-5 working days' became 'I was told it was Eircoms problem and that I'd have to go a week without my phone'.

This is a little off topic but it reminds me of something my team leader said on the phone one day. To be fair the customer was right to feel inconvenienced but we were told that the fault was so bad the work was going to take ages. But she was so irate on the phone and my TL was getting more and more frustrated because all he could do was deliver the news. Anyway the woman said 'If ye can't sort it I'm going to call Joe Duffy' to which my team leader completely exasperated said 'well I'm not sure of Joe Duffys experience fixing telephone lines but you can certainly try'. The way he said it I'm actually still laughing now.

I had a guy threaten to ring Joe Duffy and tell him we were trying to hold his phone number to ransom, he hadnt paid his bill in over 5 months and was given numerous calls, texts and letters telling him unless it was paid he'd be cut off. "without warning" was his reasoning, despite the fact he got plenty of it. I told him unless Joe was going to pay his bill for him he wasnt being reconnected based on threats.

I love, looove pretending I dont know who Joe Duffy is to people, it drives them mental

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

There used to be a trick to this.

If it's a case where you put you opinion to the operator before getting on air, go with the conservative rant. Tell them what they want to hear.

Then when you get on line, give it to them!

Ha ha when I first started there I had a moaner say, you people were on Joe Duffy the other day and I was tempted to say 'What's Joe Duffy got against Clare folk'. Not good to get fired in your first week though.

MyKeyG

To be honest I'm so against Joe Duffy I wouldn't even call in if he had a show about my current nightmare. We're trying to leave a company at the moment who ARE holding our number to ransom. We're all paid up we just want to leave. Even if the company in question were to come up on JD I wouldn't fuel his ego or his corrupt pile of tripe of a programme by calling in.

magick

I find Joe Duffy offensive, should I call Liveline about this?
