Ray D'arcy on RTE Radio 1 **Mod Warning post 1** 27th Jan Forward

dirkmeister

Ray’s match report from France and Switzerland is a bit different to the game I watched.

He did more than “dip into” Love Island!!

SEPT 23 1989

He is such a good compliant citizen isn't he

Darcy giving-out about 'tawdry' Love Island (it is), lamenting its existence, and then giving us a full run-down after having evidently watched it.

Good old Darcy keeping the RTE/ Govt line on the covid shtshow - equating being an 'outlier' on the smoking ban with this absolute joke of ' just another few weeks'
'I don't mind being an outlier' says an amatuer clown grabbing 400k+ a year throughout the last 15 months while workers are denied getting back to work

SEPT 23 1989

its not meant for old men

The people who write his pay cheque have gone from making a €20m loss in 2019 to making a profit in 2020 because of Covid and Covid alone.

No wonder he and the rest of his colleagues want to keep banging the same drum.

The sooner the pandemic ends, the quicker the advertising revenue from the HSE/State dries up, the quicker they will have to report from other countries, the quicker they will have to report from proper events like the Olympics, The Euros, the Champions League, Eurovision, the Oscars (instead of the daily dose of bad covid news done from their house or from the studio), the quicker they will have to produce actual content instead of the mind numbing discussion of deaths, and cases, and vaccines, and restrictions.............

No wonder D'Arcy is so content with life as it is at the moment.

Without us having death figures for the last 2 months we might as well assume it's as dangerous as the flu.

Gambling ads on tv, lol. RTE stop the Saturday evening childrens film every single week to pause for the Lotto draw, you couldn't make up how corrupt that is.

Bellbottoms

Didn't he have Colm Meany on the time he did a gambling advert (I'm intentionally not mentioning the name of the company).

I do agree with Ray somewhat. Gambling ruins people's lives. But it would be nice if Ray pushed back on gambling promotions on his show.

Anything else is lip service.

busunderer

Has Ray come from a home where there was drinking and gambling issues?
He seems unbalanced discussing both matters

SEPT 23 1989

what an incredibly boring man

He's on about €8000 each week.

It really is hard to comprehend, isn't it?

When he’s doing his phone ins for the cash draws on his shows he has no problem with gambling. He’s a boring hypocrite

That was when he had the television show as well.
Surely they can't be paying him that for 1.5 hours per day of radio and i'm not interested in hearing about all the preparation that goes into the show beforehand:rolleyes:

I can't remember who said it, but someone here once said that Ray Darcy is exactly the kind of man who would have become a nagging cleric 50 years ago. Every time I accidentally hear his monologues, I think of that.

pass the revolver

Ray lifts stories from social media, the current story was doing the rounds on Twitter yesterday. great young lads pity they had to encounter Ray.

ILikeBoats

Dialysis breaks up your week. Ffs

Icsics

These 2 find themselves hilarious, very tedious GAA content anytime I hear them

Brendan Bendar

D’Arcy excelled himself today

‘Vissscount’. For fork sake!!

Sonny ‘Bonnno’. What is this guys educational record?

Almost .5 mil. €. And the lad comes up with this rubbish

His library probably consists of back issues of Heat.

Jeezzz

The biscuit or the title?

If the biscuit, that is a legitimate dilemma, and I'd go with pronouncing the -s-, even if only to distinguish from the title, esp. where unclear, e.g. "I could murder a Viscount".

No the title…

The aircraft…

In my whole life I never heard of it being pronounced with the ‘s’

For anything…………… never………..never………..never ever.


Sorry!!

Pelvis Parsley

I always called the biscuit Vy-Count (as in the title, and the aircraft).

I'm not aware of an alternative pronounciation.

Nobody is Peller, nobody……….. well maybe one…. make that two to include D’Arcy.

Rabbit Redux

A couple of days ago he said he'd never give anybody cash as a present in case they'd spend it on something he didn't approve of, i.e. alcohol, gambling etc. For a man who's never hidden his contempt for the Catholic Church and the control it exercised over people's lives, he really doesn't seem to get the fact that his own puritanical views aren't that far removed from the most zealous of Bible thumpers.

Telling a dialysis patient today that her dialysis breaks up the week for her is one of the most asinine things I've ever heard. It's like something Alan Partridge might say. To call him an idiot would be an insult to idiots.

You can say either, but there are more than myself and D'arcy in it.

https://www.joe.ie/life-style/pics-the-debate-on-how-to-pronounce-viscount-biscuits-may-finally-have-been-settled-529109

Some people pronounce Bourbon biscuits as 'boor-bon', others say it like the whisky. Similar problems with Nice biscuits. Not sure why the names of biscuits should be so perplexing. Better to be safe and stick to the jammy dodgers.

Vycount, Boorbon and Niece here:pac:
