    5 years on air today. Five.

    It's been such a waste. After three months Mooney wanted to be back in the job, and would have appreciated it if he had been given the chance to come back.

    Five years wasted with D'Arcy in the afternoon. Like the ten years wasted with Tubridy on the Late Late show.

    "Congratulations to all the RTE staff who did a great job during the election."

    I'm sure they were more than well paid for it.

    That's true. The coverage was very good.

    Well for almost 1/2 a million a year, if Ray can't operate a radio desk properly after how many years of radio? Then quiet frankly, give it up and let someone competent take over.

    Any other job, he'd be dragged before management for being an incompetent fool.

    I listened up to 4 today.

    Bit of uninspiring patter which is normal for this type of show.

    Good item about libraries and MD's books.

    Great story from that Garda who overcame his demons and is trying to help victims.

    That's just my opinion.

    BTW Ray Eamonn Coughlin was only World Champion in the 1500 metres. Does Ray know anything that's not on the cue cards?

    World Champion 5000 m 1983.

    The cue card probably spelt Eamonn Coghlan's name right too :)

    What's the gender balance like in the orchestra?

    What has that to do with anything?

    I think Ray criticising other people for being hypocritical is the most hypocritical thing I have ever heard.

    Ray must have been reading. He came back on later and corrected it.

    "an easy mistake to make"

    He got the re-test fee wrong as well.

    He was in woke mode today. “Polly Pocket was a toy for girls”. Quickly corrected to some statement about boys could play with it too. I thought boys only played with Holey Pocket

    That reminds me of the joke about the boy when asked what he wanted for Christmas.Answered,something to wear and something to play with. So the parents bought him a pair of trousers and cut a hole in the pocket.
