    John Cleese was so important to Ray that he was prepared to move the Nuacht... again.

    He asked the guy he had on about the food myths what was the traffic like as he was hoping to have an interview with John Cleese :D

    Was it my imagination or did he say his nickname used to be 'Arsey D'Arcy'?

    D'Arcy remembers the National Anthem closedown on RTE "from his childhood". Eh, it was still going well into the 1980's Ray, so you would've been in your 20's....

    RD expounding on the art of songwriting. Is there no end to this man's abilities?

    Poor Ray rightly put his foot in it with his 'codladh snamh'!! You wouldn't mind but he said it at least twice and with great conviction. He'd be better off staying away from the Gaeilge, just like the rest of us :)

    I actually thought that was the way the email writer had written it, so I wasn't going to be too hard on D'Arcy. Then it turns out the listener had written "codladh sámh".

    He really is an idiot.

    What's the point of that email bag garbage ?

    does that mailbag guy actually get paid or do they just feel sorry for him and let him do it ?

    Knowing RTE, he probably gets a handsome fee for it

    dont think ive heard anything as pathetic as his interview of John Cleese yesterday . Sycophantic , doffing the cap, arse licking of the worst kind. I tell you, Cleese must be desperate if he is stooping to being interviewed by irelands " Alan Partridge "

    Ah, I'd say he's embarrassed over that one - as he said it with such certainty, relish & conviction.

    The chess interview was cringe central. He kept asking stupid questions about whether males were sexist against her. Lol hilarious then when she called the computer de blu no issues as this was just her pronunciation but the clown farce who is paid 500k a year to research this mumbled yes it was de blu. For the record farcy the computer was called Deep Blue!

    Yea, he was in full on feminnazi manhater mode.

    He had another bash at the guy who did Pippa Middleton's wedding speech.
    Ray, if you're reading, It wasn't your wedding. It's none of your business.

    If that's the case then he's probably permanently embarrassed over all the gaffes and blunders he makes on an almost daily basis. Somehow I have a feeling that he doesn't give it too much thought. He comes across as a chap who's completely lacking in self-awareness and self-criticism.

    talking of Rays views of what a wedding speech should be like , could you imagine what Rays stag was like ?
    a run and a porridge eating competition ?? cant imagine a person as boring as him having many friends.

    It was a few drinks and watching the Alan Partridge movie I think. It was mentioned during his today fm days. To be fair if thats what he wanted why not.

    And how many times did he say ArianDa Granda. I thought he was meant to know something about popular music.
