Also, I know the old poll was just copied and pasted, but I think there should be an option like; "Still listen but the show needs a good shake-up... get the finger out Ray!"

And can I be pedantic and say that it should be "Your time is past" or "Your time has passed"?

Right, I said I'd tune in today for a while to see if I could pick up on some of the things people here complained about ( my gripe is to do with his pontificating and banging on about his kids, and rugger). Anyway, between 9.11 am and 9.13 when he was reading the papers I counted 13 ehms and ahs .... Good Lord

To be fair, wasn't he talking about a feature in the paper which said that women said 'um' and men said 'ah'? Though perhaps it was telling that Ray was an 'um'-er

No squire. At that time I counted he was talking about babies being born from some grannies womb in Sweden

Apols, the other bit was after so

Ray will love this muck. They sound like jedward, insufferable.

Cracked up laughing this morning when Ray was talking to the Doctor who had just come off a 24 hour shift, Ray asked him what was he going to do now and the Doctor confirmed he would be having a coffee. At this point Ray said something like "ah now your a doctor what does coffee do to you....it's a stimulant isn't it how are you going to sleep" the doctor replied that it was a mild stimulant and it wouldn't really make much difference Ray then sighed and made noises to indicate that he wasn't convinced. Thinking you know more than a Doctor....Brilliant:D

well he was only half a point shy in his leaving of becoming a doctor.....thank heavens

You are indeed correct, however that was 32 years ago. In fairness to him I would never question his intelligence, that discussion this morning was just a continuation of a running theme on the show....Ray not fully believing things that have been proven factually and assuming that he knows best.

You can just imagine him having a heart surgeon on as a guest

Heart Surgeon: "So you make the incision here gently and extract the growth as so"

Ray: "eh....well.....you wouldn't really do it that way now would ya? it would better to make the incision from lower down"

Heart Surgeon" I have carried out over 100 of these operations"

Ray: " big long sigh.........yeah... well maybe we will agree to disagree"

I question the man's intelligence and his overinflated and non justified opinion of his own sense of it all the time.

But Ray would have his patient dancing round the kitchen with his (borrowed) baby within a week and running 5k within 3 weeks.

Beat that Cardio surgeon man:p

oh and Ray... Love the show!

Jesus Christ, yet another story of young tragedy. Utterly depressing radio.

Its not Christmas yet though so Ray isn't crying.

Fair play too Ray for letting him on too say his piece today. Sad sad story.

Dr. Ray stopahhejectehhhsigh Darcy.

I don't think so.

Not even ten minutes in and he already sounds like a fool the way he is going on about Brian Cox. He genuinely believes he's one of the most intelligent people on the planet. A very annoying man!

somesoldiers

Jesus wept- just tuned in and heard "c**k ring". The recession has had a positive effect on the sex accessories industry with lonely partners rushing out to buy wireless and bluetooth rabbits while their partners are working abroad. The partner controls the rabbit remotely!!

He's gone full Gerry Ryan on this segment.

somesoldiers

is that the lad of Talafornia? he keeps saying "olderly" people, bless

somesoldiers

Turns out it is- obvioulsy a fan of the portmanteau. Old & Elderly = Olderly, I like it

This anti-technology schtick he's on this morning is getting a bit irritating. The whole 'youth of today are destroying themselves' has been done by every single older generation in history and amazingly, we're still here…

Also, that speech in Bladerunner is amazing and deserves the top spot in movie quotes. Giving out about it because it's not your first choice is stupid.

He read out a text for the film quotes.

RD: I would like eat your liver with some fiver beans and a nice chianti"
Will: "Its FAVA beans"
RD: "Well it says fiver here"
Will:" no its fava"
RD: "well....it could be fiver"

The Bladerunner speech is often voted one of the best film quotes ever. Did you hear the one that Ray suggested? It was from last transformers film. Something that the Irish guy Jack reynor? says to Mark Wahlberg

I cant remember one line form the 2 transformer films i have seen

D'arcy's two favourite obsessions came together today when doing a quiz with Eoin and Ciaran from Second Captains.

They did a sports quiz between the two lads, the first few questions included Niall Quinn as an answer as well as a question about the 1976 Olympics.

But the piece de résistance came when D'Arcy asked the following question in a sports quiz:

"What is the name of Bryan O Driscoll's daughter".

Jaysus, some chef he would be, if he can't tell his fava beans from his fiver beans:D

that's like the one from TV3's The Lie. Category Irish Geography. One of the true statements was "Niall Horan went to school in Mullingar"
