Congratulations RTE: 3 years without a drug related employee death!

I remember my neighbour coming in screaming crying. Mad how he affected people.

annascott

I thought it strange that there wasn't any mention of him. He was good fun and he died too young in tragic circumstances.

I think he had an engaging personality for radio; but he also could be horrible when things didn't go his way. I recall listening in when he had a quiz on his radio show and there was a mix-up with a question (surely not his fault), but the hostile condescension with which he treated the wronged player while righting the wrong was cringe-inducing and unprofessional. A minor blip but it is one of the only things I can remember about him now.

That said, he was a natural on tv early on; School Around the Corner was pleasant tv; but then he went on to do other half-arsed shows where he seemed to be uncomfortable.

Why would there be really?

When he died sure it was all the people in boards HQ could do to stop After Hours exploding.

That's wicket.

Very very very very very very very very very slow news day?

He has been clean 3 years now.

dd972

amazing how someone on such wodge could be skint and indebted, can happen of course, but give most people €500K a year and they'd be sorted.

The Barefoot Pizza Thief

Total and utter arse, but yet I'd still infinitely prefer to listen to his inane rants on the radio in the morning than Tubridy's.

The admiral in the cricket club, the cocaine and the celebrity death.

You've got the makings of a modern version of cluedo right there

Fedupguessing

Poor Gerry.

Norwesterner

An abysmal role model to have such media and radio coverage.
An embodiment of the Celtic Tiger.
I despise Yuppies who fund drug dealing scum and cause untolled damage and carnage in the poorest Nations of the Earth.

Hugs not drugs folks

A whack of a frying pan across the head would cure that.

Ah poor Gerry.........no wait, feck him...hypocrite !

Although, one of his sperm grew up nicely.

I thought he was great, until I recently read his autobiography ~ he was a greedy self indulgent fat bollox who cared for nothing or no one except his self serving greed.

A great talent wasted on a greedy fool.

squod

Who?

crockholm

I'm to lazy/incompetent/techtard to find it,but I remember G. Ryan,doing a "rap" in some lame teens stay away from drugs song/video. It ended with Gerry rapping "drugs ain't the answer",which would be true as long as the question wasn't "what killed Gerry Ryan ? "

Rosy Posy

More talking than rapping really. I wonder how far gone he was at this point?

Kev_2012

I remember not being able to attend the funeral because Kate had invited me to her party on Facebook.

Jesus, that needs to be in the You Cringe thread. Nothing worse in the 90's than people trying to be down with the kids and use "rap" to spread a message.

Would always feel like it was your parents trying to sing your favourite songs.

yeah, remember when he got a 5% pay cut, and he went on a tantrum on his show, going on as if they were taking a kidney.

Wasn't the first hour of his show just him stuffing his face with scones while reading the newspaper headlines?

One should spare a thought for his dealer, the Four Sessions and Lilies in what must be the fraught economic aftermath of his passing

RIP.

Yup. Pure talent. €500k per annum's worth, in fact.

Against Irish tradition to speak ill of the dead but if I was to deny that he was a raging hypocrit, then I'm only playing the game with him.

michael.dublin

a drug user is dead, nothing new there, this happens EVERY day, but no one cares, for all the other ones that are dying on the streets every day.
ok he was a well known Dj..... that just loved to tell everyone that drugs are so bad, then to die from a overdose just makes this "super junkie" the biggest hypocrite ever.
