    Is he still around?

    I haven't really heard of him since the turn of the decade.

    Tommy Tiernan. About as funny as crabs.

    in fairness, he was funny when he first started out....but nowadays he's trying too hard to be an irish Billy Connolly

    People think that he comes across as an arrogant smug D4 toff. An unfair estimation imo.

    Since his retirement he has been annoying people through his media work (specifically on Newstalk radio).

    In fairness he is very bland and extraordinarily unfunny at times. Not suited to that line of work imo.

    And His wife is an irritating fame junkie ... who gets endless opportunities from RTE despite numerous shows tanking ....and the indo have them as Oirelanss prince and princess

    Ray D'arcy.... has something principled to say about most issues, but when RTE presenters salaries were mentioned when he worked on Today FM, "mumble mumble not underselling yourself mumble mumble"

    Joe Duffy.. give me strength

    Nicky Byrne...Fair play to him for pulling in a nice salary...Some Knob

    Anna Geary...what's that about

    A lot of that sociology course ran together, Joe Duffy, Brenda Donaghue and Dave Fanning, Gerry Ryan, Ian Dempsey, all came into RTE1/2FM together.

    What sociology course are you referring to? None of the people you mentioned have studied sociology. They didnt even go to the same university. ryan and dempsey didnt even go to college. And they didnt join RTE at the same time.

    Actually that is correct about Donahue and Duffy. Gerry Ryan was a solicitor/Barrister? There was more money in 2FM than there was deviling.

    I just corrected myself there. I thought I remembered on RTE Brenda O Donoghue saying she was doing sociology in UCD and she worked in the canteen to make extra money.

    If your rich daddy can sign the cheque for the Billie Barry school you are entitled to a great job in RTE. Talent and IQ is not a barrier to work at RTE. Some people will tell you, Lack there of, is a prerequisite.

    hold up a minute there, he isnt a qualified chef. He is some part time model waster that was pushed forward under a lot of daddys money. The important thing is that your granny thinks he is nice and non threatening to your teenage daughter as eye candy.

    Him particularly, but any celebrity chef, qualified or otherwise. I expect he's as chirpy off camera 247 as he is on...... how could you face that every day???
