Following on from main thread in Current Affairs about Tubs in general (now closed and mod suggestion that Entertainment category is more suitable).
Indeed, entertainment in certain respects is what Tubs has provided, albeit perhaps in a way not intended. And still awaiting 150k payback to the licence fee holder.
And of course, his new career in Virgin Radio which is imminent.
copying some frequent posters from original thread.

The Mystery of the Missing 150k
I read that Tom Dunne piece and laughed out loud at the crying whenever he might hear the saw doctors.
NK would want to pull up his big boy pants and learn to take a bit of criticism for him or his client on the chin.
God what babies.
Probably reflective of how big a part of finances RT was for NK.
I guarantee that some NK minion will alert tubridy to the Irish food truck in London that was in the news last week, and he will make a big song and dance about it, probably go along to it and weasel it into the show and/or his London. Probably be near tears about how it reminds him of home, despite the fact the lad probably never had a chicken fillet roll or spice bag in his life.
The thing is, Tom Dunne is/was another NKM client. That's the intriguing part in all this.
One NKM talent slagging off another. And Daddy wasn't happy.
Does it have Dublin Coddle? .. Joe Duffy would be interested in visiting Ryan in his bachelor’s studio if he put that in the microwave.
When the Great fall off their perches, the narc within gets angry and starts throwing toys out of the pram.
They need to listen to a well qualified psychologist, eg that Scottish guy with the lovely accent who comes on Radio 1 fairly regularly. Robert something. He gives good account of societal behaviour and how to make sense of it and not take things too sensitively. You’d think NK would have one on the books to give client advice (and to him too)
I mean, have you ever read such junk? First of all who owns bnnbreaking? Secondly who put a link between him being late for work in a role he is unqualified and inexperienced to do as well as being grossly overpaid for? It really beggars belief how he can be taken seriously when writing articles about missing SuperQuinn sausages? All one has to do is TRY other amazing sausage brands in the UK, there is seriously GOOD food in the UK plus 95% of the crap on Irish shelves is coming in from England or Europe anyway in 2024.
He is really not doing his image any favours whatsoever with these childlike essays each week in the IMoS. How much more of a thick uneducated Jacko image does this clown wish to portray?
This has got to be a joke, but knowing the type of brain-dead, very hard of thinking promoters it’s par for the course. Sad that some people with such poor acumen & IQ have any position of power, really can drain resources so badly.
we sometimes accuse Brits of being unknowleable able Irish issues, well we’ve sent a reverse example, thick as an example as can be.
I actually think that could be AI written there's something off about it.
Adaptability resilience positivity. What a lot of big words🥴
The article reads 'funny'. Doesn't feel right, to me anyway.
And tbh the absolute crap wouldake a reader think he'd battled the hun and traversed the Hindu Kush all on his own with just a scarf and Bok for company.
I'm going back to work😊 even that's better than reading nonsense about this tosser🙄😁
Couldn’t he just get the bus?
I agree that England has some great sausages, but 95% of meat on our shelves imported? Does your butler do your shopping?
The headline was enough for me.
Capitalising every word does my head in.
I Didn't Venture Any Further 🤣
I see where you are going with this. It's like a word-soup
He may consider himself too famous for that and would expect to be mobbed by adoring fans. :) Apart from the screw-up of not planning his working day, it is a bit of a non-story that's intended to keep a non-famous person in the non-news. It is not like he is going to spend his time on the show complaining about transport in London. That's a topic for real presenters on talk radio stations. The demotion from being RTE's best paid "star" to being just a filler between music and adverts must be setting in by now. Even his column is only published in the Irish edition of the Mail on Sunday.
There's been no column in any of the large UK newspapers or TV appearances on UK TV. All of the promotion seems to be geared towards keeping people in the Irish market aware that he still exists. Perhaps the original plan was for a year's exile in the UK and a return to RTE once things settled down. The problem with that plan is that RTE, if it still exists, will be a very different place and it may be brought under control of the government's Comptroller and Auditor General. That will mean that there will be a lot more focus on payments to "talent" and other things.
Even Bakhurst's statement last year that he would talk to the "stars" directly rather than to Noel Kelly should have been a warning about how things were changing in RTE on salary negotiations. This was followed by a salary cap. Tubridy's job in Virgin Radio for a fraction of what he was earning in RTE has damaged his earning potential in the Irish market because he will, effectively work for less than his RTE salary. The idiocy of the RTE previous management argument about paying people like Tubridy highly to prevent other broadcasters poaching them has been exposed. Even though his show is syndicated on a few local radio station in the Irish market, he has become the face of the pay scandal that destroyed RTE. The Irish market has moved on without him but the people in RTE may not want to see him back there.
Even Alan Partridge didn't bring down the BBC.

Fecking hell, the wiki on that BNNbreaking news website is amazing, a total AI aggregator based in India.
Funny thing is superquinn doesn't exist anymore, it's a brand name trading on it's old sausage reputation, have you tried them lately? Vile , tasteless shite, especially when compared to the likes of oldhausen
Tubs is taking nostalgia to a new level
Does he even know that it has been gone about ten years now? Even the "dinner in the middle of the day" thing is a bit odd too.
Just switched him on a few minutes ago,
he mangled some competition that the show is running, calls out the text number, and then says, I’ll repeat that number slowly…
ffs,
Found a vid of Tubs landing on the mainland
Yeah he does say Superquin sausages being sold by Supervalu. They apparently got the recipe in the change over.
However, that's nonsense as Supervalu's Superquin sausages now have a different taste and texture to the original.
Tesco Finest Irish pork sausages are the closest match to original Superquin.
All silly anyway as Kearne's and Olhousen are better.
They don't taste even close
He's too busy waxing the Bentley.
WOW 😳😲
BNNbreaking is a notorious scam news website that scours the web for random topics, uses AI to write articles about them, then sits back and gets the clicks/advertising revenue.
That article will have been absolutely nothing to do with Tubridy, Kelly, the IMoS, Virgin or anyone else. There's thousands or random dubious articles about thousands of celebrities and events on the site.
An underground musician I worship died recently and a bio appeared on amazon immediately, everything about it looked like AI
The original sausages had MSG in them :-)
As they were sold loose they did not have the ingredients on the packaging.
