Ray D'arcy on RTE Radio 1 **Mod Warning post 1, 1263, 1610**

Is it Baz Ashmawy? If so, his entire profile (mostly snapchat, apparently, being over 30, I don't even know how to turn the snapchat on...) nowadays centers around his kids and parenting and his "following" is very much parents, mostly women in their mid-30s/early-40s.

A bit like Ray.

Yep, that's the one. I wasn't aware of his profile, since I'm not down with the Snapchat kids either, but it makes sense.

Still, he's a damn sight better than the porridge proselytizer fiddling with the wrong buttons *sigh*... haaaaa... I dunno..."

He's cheerful anyway.

I find him worse than Ray (if that's possible). His smarmyness just gets to me. I'm listening to Connemara Community Radio until 4:30.

I don't find him smarmy, but haven't listened to him regularly enough to have a strong opinion either way.

I do think he sounds very natural on radio. By that I mean, less rehearsed and more fluent than other presenters. He's not afraid to apparently speak from the top of his head; it's both engaging and conversational, which is vital for good talk radio.

How long would that dog last I wonder?

Until the first night Baz returns from the pub with the tyres burning....

SEPT 23 1989

even darcy wouldn't do this:o

I liked that opening segment with the kid. It isn't nearly as annoying when Baz gets parental.

Stay another week in Ballhheigue, Ray.

This is embarassing

Claude Burgundy

Are Dustin and Bosco quoting "Heat" ?

Text asked if Bosco and Dustin were quoting Heat.

So, Ray read the Sunday Times ten days ago.

Gives out about Facebook for ten minutes then says he will post the article on the Facebook page
Irony or what ?

They're definitely grooming Ray for Liveline

Ray likes the runners... as long as they have 2 legs rather than 4
