    This was on when I got home as I left the radio on in the house when I went to work this morning and I was busy changing clothes, boiling a kettle etc and became aware of a persistent wearying drone I can't recall what he was going on about but whatever it was it seemed to be depressing him greatly. What ails him? and why is he ailing the public?

    Ill probably get a ban for sniggering at that one :)
    Stay on topic, discuss the programme content, and there won't be a problem.

    Trying to have a dig at moderation, however obscure you think you're being, is contrary to the charter. This is a warning, and applies also to subsequent posts.

    Buzzkill. But Ray continues on his anti alcohol rants. I think someone should tell him that brewing and drinking alcohol has been around for millennia.

    Ray ashamed yet again to be a man - no fear of Ray challenging her - he would be ****ting himself driving home to Jenny

    Some bloke texted in saying men suffer from stress too. More or less told to "Butt out. This is womens talk".

    I love how how felt the need to explain all the AP gags for us as if we're all eejits and he's the intellectual who got them.

    Nuacht at 3.59. That's a turn up for the book

    Ray touching on another of his public health touchstones today - the evils of gambling.

    He can fill a week of them these days: evils of drink, evils of gamblin, evils of the fags, The Church, running, vaccinations and eating your porridge & greens :)

    He plays 2 songs at the same time and blames the producer

    He was incredibly unprofessional regarding Cheltenham coverage last week, especially on the Tuesday. Fair enough if he has issues with gambling but the way he dealt with it in terms of the handover to the commentators etc was uncalled for and must have irked the powers that be. Whether Ray likes it or not, Cheltenham is a big event and RTE pay a lot of money to cover it.

    Brendan used to be good crack but he's gone as "Woke" as the rest of them now.

    "An irishman named Brendan Martin".

    No Ray, it was Martin Brennan.

    O' Connors show on Sat night was utter crap. So they took him off that show and gave him a mid week show which is equally crap.

    Ah here, you cant be expecting Godlike Ray to actually do research can you? He's only on half a million a year.

    I had to laugh the other day, on my twitter feed a tweet popped up from Will Hanafin with the video of the "Partridge look-a-like" rebel songs from This Time the other night.

    Janny Kelly replied a few times with crying laughing emojis etc.

    I couldnt help but smile - do they realise that one of them is married to our very own Partridge and the other one is his producer?
