Ray D'Arcy's screw up of the day

leath_dub · 03-03-2023 04:03PM

Looks like Ray clicked the button for the Ad break before the news could be handed over to

Now 3:03 and no news yet

Yes, maybe a new record with the first cock-up of the day happening before 3.00pm

Ray is the gift that keeps on giving, unfortunately at the licence fee payer's expense.

He said that the jingle for the quiz is voice activated, after it wouldn't play, They can't make it any easier for him and he still messes up. 🤔

Bee Gee's song on the quiz,

You should be dancing ,

According to Ray, it was jive talking

Not like him to get things wrong 🤔

More button pressing issues.

Can you imagine him doing anything with electricity or water around the house, ,🥺🙄🤔🤡

Dee wishing she could have two resignations in one day

Frank Grimes · 16-03-2023 05:00PM

Another button pressing issue.

You wouldn't leave him at home alone!

leath_dub · 23-03-2023 04:06PM

Does the computer ever say "yes", Ray?

Frank Grimes · 23-03-2023 04:14PM

Ray seems oblivious to the fact that the problem is firmly between the keyboard and the chair.

I don't listen to radio much anymore and I always hated Ray Darcy's today FM show when it was on the radio in work.

This thread brings to mind the time he was interviewing Sue Townsend writer of The Adrian Mole series of books maybe 15 years ago and he asked her "Does anyone you've seen in the studio today remind you of Adrian Mole? " and her answer was " Well Ray I am a registered blind person".

It was funny in fairness but what a complete knucklehead he was.

Frank Grimes · 29-03-2023 03:05PM

That pesky button again.

thesandeman · 07-04-2023 03:01PM

😂😂😂

Biggest screw up yet. Continuity announcer had to phone him.

I thought this was a wind up, she obviously didn't know what button to press before making the call.

Wasn't listening this week, what did he do?

It might have been a joint effort. There wasn't a handover because a recorded programme was replacing Liveline.

She did her "now it's the Ray Darcy show" bit. Silence for a bit before she apologised and put on some music. A phonecall ensued between the two of them trying to figure out what to do which could be heard over the music until one of them found the right button to press.

A Ray-like start to today's show.

Ray will be delighted with this, may even have organised it himself in order to take the focus away from his own personal sh1tness

Frank Grimes · 12-04-2023 04:13PM

Another button pressing issue, Ray must have rigged the studio before going on leave.

avfc1874 · 12-04-2023 04:18PM

Definitely rays rigged the show, same clue given to each contestants on the quiz,

Field east · 17-04-2023 03:20PM

Just woke up from a brief slumber to that waste of space Darcy. He must be really stuck for something to say. He is big into repeating a lot of his utterances twice as well as talking - excuse me - a lot of scu—er. I know that there are such categories a ‘A’ and ‘C’ listers when it comes to actors/personalities but I wonder if there are any categories after this - even as far as an ‘Z’ lister?!?!

rino87 · 18-04-2023 11:05AM

First show back after holiday and made a mistake with his very first sentence. Got the newsreaders name wrong.

rino87 · 21-04-2023 03:33PM

Out in the roadcaster today. Careful now.

Reginald Perrin · 09-05-2023 04:26PM

Just caught the show today, he's in liverpool for Eurovision and he forgot the name of Ireland's entry. "We are ??" Who's his agent? That guy that has most of rte contractors?

An epic dry,and they were coming into him directly after the ads..😋

Welsh Megaman · 09-05-2023 05:22PM

An absolutely embarrassing ninety minutes of radio.

Marty Whelan - completely clueless and completely out-of-touch with Eurovision in the modern age. Should have hung it up the same time as Terry Wogan.

Linda Martin - same as above, being asked the same ole questions year in, year out (“How do you feel when you found out you’d won?”)

Ray - well…it’s Ray.

Dustin The Turkey - suddenly backpedalling about the whole ‘Ireland Douze Points’ debacle. A relic from a bygone era.

RTE in general - still stuck in the late 1990’s, blissfully unaware that Eurovision has moved on.

Frank Grimes · 15-05-2023 03:06PM

Another button issue. "We had this last week too", yes Ray and every other week.

amlinopta · 15-05-2023 03:28PM

Technical cock up, an excuse, grief and death. Another week begins

Ray D'Arcy's screw up of the day
