    Anyone ever on blackboard jungle all them years ago? I wonder how many reshoots did they need to do a show



  • Posts: 9,954 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Faders 1, 2 and 3 have being swapped around, says Ray.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,528 ✭✭✭Viscount Aggro


    I had a bet with someone.. they told me Darcy has BSC in Psychology.

    I said... That's impossible.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,760 ✭✭✭Pelvis Parsley


    He talks like he's eating...smack...smack...smack. Once you hear it you can't unhear it.

    My advise is to just not listen.

    Was this when he was talking about the Gaybo Special from the RTE Canteen?

    I'm sorry to say, it's every day. Duffoon suffers from the boo-urps (over-indulgence), Arsey suffers from an over abundance of saliva every time he thinks of "purridge".

    Darcy messes up the buttons again

    Didn't bother practicing on his 4 weeks off.

    Has Kevin listened to his show?

    I didn't hear the start of today's show but at the end of the 3 pm news Ray apologised to Ray Kennedy who was reading the news, so assume he gave the wrong newsreader's name out at 3 pm.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,569 ✭✭✭leath_dub


    Ray with another button malfunction today and about 5 seconds of dead air - before he introduced the news (so his programme hadn't even started before his first screw up of the day) 🙄



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,767 ✭✭✭Luckycharms_74


    5 seconds of silence then Ray manages to press the correct button to speak.


    He really is a grade-A Wally 🤐


    Push the RED button Ray . The RED one.....

    And we wonder why he is so concerned about AI.

    He knows an AI Dj wouldn't make so many mistakes, or be as boring.

    Ray talking about dream jobs, says I'm actually in my dream job,

    Course you are Ray, where you can mess up as often as you like and there's no consequences



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,554 ✭✭✭✭thesandeman


    Ray really should move to LBC. He would immediately be top dog there.

    Their latest excuse after twenty seconds of dead air....."I'm really sorry, I think I may have hit the mute button with my face" 🤣🤣🤣

    Was actually on that, I was about 16, and he was by far the thickest person in the studio, George Byrne set the questions, a big man from Dublin, Shamrock Rovers fan, cool dude, used to be on TV a bit years ago, think he's dead a few years. 2 dollybirds backstage in a makeup room, and a couple of busloads of kids to cheer in the studio. Cheap and cheerful, Ray hadn't really got a clue, nice enough chap, nothing between the ears.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,862 ✭✭✭Mysterypunter


    And the answer to your question, which won't surprise you was quite a few, was on it 5 times, dragged on a bit, I'd say 9 or 10 mistakes per episode, some minor ones were left in or we would still be there



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,554 ✭✭✭Lewis_Benson


    Best thing he ever did was Fix it Friday, everything after that was lifeless.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,725 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    Re: this thread, no reports of any screw ups recently?

    Is he getting more professional?



  • Posts: 9,954 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Thought is was dark in the studio, then realised the lights are not working.



  • Posts: 9,954 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Messed up the quiz again. Sorry, sorry sorry.



  • Posts: 9,954 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    At the start of the show. Button difficulty, wanted someone to put a bit of card/paper with the number 3 on the controls!

    Ray: So you're from Cork.

    Emma O'Driscoll: No, Limerick.

    R: Where did I get Cork from them?

    E: (puzzled) I have no idea.

    A few sentences later, Emma states that she was due to do an audition for the band 'Six' in Cork, although she eventually did it in Galway.

    Ray: That must be where I got Cork from.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,569 ✭✭✭leath_dub


    Good man Ray ! Screw up after screw up and it wasn't even. 5 past 3!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,890 ✭✭✭pappyodaniel


    Are any of ye'forced to listen to this show against your will?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,569 ✭✭✭leath_dub


    Spectacular ineptness, brought to you daily by Ray D'Arcy



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,096 ✭✭✭Red Fred


    "Can you hear that? It says it's working but it's not". Great start by Ray.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,569 ✭✭✭leath_dub


    "Let me try that again, 'cos we have to get it working. <pause><pause><pause>. No, no good" 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,725 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    Man is an idiot.

    Laughing all the way to the bank of course.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,100 ✭✭✭avfc1874


    Not a hint of embarrassment, messed up again 15 minutes later, no accountability at rte



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,569 ✭✭✭leath_dub


    Another one today, within about 10 seconds of the handover from the newsroom.

    IV every one of the regular screwups were documented, this thread would be 100+ pages long.

    It's so commonplace now it's a daily expectation
