    Has to be Dunphy.... felt sorry for him with the Mc Daid affair. There was no way he could do the right thing. He defened Mc Daid to an extent & of course go the reply "All you Drunk drivers stick together". What was he to do?, if he slated him he would be a hypocrite after being done himself!

    Moncrief - Its the text. I do it for the text.

    Really many of the posters are very clever and funny. But some may have migrated from the Orla Barry Valentines show. Remember when she asked about diamonds as a present and she had yer man Ross golden Bannon on. he said no "pearls are for girls". Orla mentioned something about how she wouldnt mind some earrings or a neclace. Then she was inundated with texts.

    "Oh heres another one. John says he would love the chance to give me a pearl neclace. You boys are very generous this morning."

    Only after she had read out three or four did the producers cop on.

    i *heart* henry too! except when he interviews school children, i always switch over then. i like kids and all, but listening to them talk about their favourite football player gets boring.

    the reports from the childrens court are fascinating, but sometimes a little depressing.

    I robbed a Newstalk pen from a co-worker today. I'm a little disturbed at how chuffed I am.

    That was the funniest/strangest radio sketch I have ever heard,a tad sick.

    He gets up to some antics...eating all the cream eggs,breaking the speed limit at 4 miles an hour.

    I now what you are talking about, just don't have the name of it. If you email offtheball@newstalk106.ie they will tell you though.

    I don't reallt like Orla Barry tbh, Ross Golden Bannon is much better when he does do that show. My favorite(s) are the Lunchtime show with Kiberd, he has a great sense of Humour and Off the Ball with Ger Gilroy.

    the orla barry show is just tabloid crap. just women talking about how crap men are, new ways of shaving their arm pits, whos in big brother next year, who was in brother last year, who will win big brother this year, who won big brother last year, blah blah blah. its real local radio sh!t, least sean moncrief is original and puts a bit of imagination into his show.
    overall newstalk is really good with some good presenters that have more personality then all of rtes lot! and its only a local station!
