Rte may have done a lot that was not right but the bands and artists featured on Rte Player is a credit to them.

yeah lol. You don't work for their press office by any chance. Taking a leaf out of the politcal parties books?

Anyways, what artists in particular on the RTE player strike you?:)

Damien O' Riley should be deeply ashamed of himself. He is standing in for Joe this week on LIVELINE ( I love Joe by the way!) Damien seems a nice fella too. Its just that I have an issue with his pronounciation.
He just said 'true' for through!
Why on earth do RTE employ these people who cant speak proper English? He obviously cant pronounce' th.' He is NOT alone.
Its so easy, all you have to do is stick your tongue between your teeth for the 'th' sound.
He also said 'gave out' what on earth is this all about? Its 'told off' not 'gave out'
He Just said 'Westmead' for Westmeath! A man rang in and said 'I'll' for oil!

Can someone please explain why the Irish people call cupboards, eg kitchen cupboards/units ' PRESSES'!!! Presses, why on earth would you call a cupboard a press?
I'm Irish myself, and was never brought up with such weird sayings or bog talk.
I know people in Carlow who pronounce the name Doyle as 'dail' Seriously!
Another Irish weird thing is the use of the words 'would have' or 'would be'
E.g. ' I would have black hair' instead of saying 'I have black hair' or 'I would have 3 dogs' its not I would have, its 'I have'
'I would be feeling very well' its 'I am feeling very well' NOT I WOULD BE!
'My aunt would have gone to Mass last week' its she went to Mass, not would have went!
Its just shocking and unbelievable. These people really give the Irish a bad name. As the Irish say: They would want to cop on!!

I call a cupboard a press etc.

I am probably guilty of all the sins you describe. Weird post for the music section.

God damn Irish people, can't speak the proper English or make user friendly websites. When your man leaves you should give Joe a shout about it.

Today at 6.55 am the presenter on RTE I RADIO stated that the time was 8.00 o clock, this was never corrected.
