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.

Jesus.
How can he be even more of a cretin than I thought possible.
Fuckin non entity.
The WiFi in the café probably wasn't free.
Now, you're pushing it. That image will scare posters off the thread.
Unless...
I stand corrected. Said the man with the orthopaedic shoes.
A "quick" crossword puzzle that doesn't even look attempted along side an Astrology column. Definitely not the kind of newspaper that one would expect an "intellectual" like Tubridy to read.

That. I thought that crossword and the quick one too, had hardly been touched.
Is it the nerd equiiof a book under the arm?
Should've finished the crossword before taking the picture.....
I have checked on with my kids, and they have confirmed that the toy man is, in fact, Patrick Kielty.
I'm not getting into the AI thing again, that took a weird turn last time.
The only thing that I would point out and it's really only nitpicking, is that you may have focused too much on displaying the registered symbol R after the Oscars, that you overlooked inserting the second r into 'recoding'. Unless of course Tubridy is some kind of buggy AI program which needs to be updated, for which that would be a total misinterpretation on my part and you may have gotten me again.
In that case I think they have to be called "Crab Flavour Sticks", not "Crab Flavoured Sticks", as the latter would imply that they were flavoured with crab.
In 1982 the UK Office of Fair Trading took the manufacturer of Hedgehog Flavoured Crisps to court for a breach of the Trades Descriptions Act. The product was renamed to "Hedgehog Flavour Crisps".
Well done Gregor! you got me😁
You've misquoted Partridge. it's 1993, not 1986.
Did you know that crab sticks don't actually contain any crab? Since 1986 manufacturers have been legally obliged to label them 'Crab Flavoured Sticks'.
There's no evidence that Tubridy is recoding birthday greetings for any sum of money. None. That's entirely in your head.
A once off favour to business contacts, with two other titans of the communications world (Morgan and Scaramucci), to spice up an Oscars® party isn't evidence of anything other than being a good sport. Morgan and Tubridy are good pals, maybe he brought the three together. There could be other opportunities in that...
I hate having to point it out repeatedly, I really, really do: but here's a wide variety of things to criticise Tubridy for, and being a good sport at an Oscars® party isn't one of them.
Tubridy sounded out of it today. So much so, he pulled himself up on one of his rambling links and paused to say "aaaargh don't be the stereotype" (like he has been affected by criticism of his nauseating rambling mindless drivel)
In a later "link" he proceeded to dissect music releases which are "maudlin' " or slow covers of popular upbeat songs. And attempted to sing a Beatles song in a slow slit your wrists style. This led to him getting self consciously embarrassed and referring to staff of Virgin Radio staring through the side window of the studio at him. A real Partridge-esque/Toblerone "Lynn" moment.
There are not many skills or talents we can praise Tubs for - but being an entertaining, tight, topical or relevant on-air host on radio is DEFINITELY not one of them.
Keep eating like that Tubs and the aul arteries won't be long about clogging up! Don't you hear all the research about people who post pictures of their food on social media?
Who ya gonna call?
Dr. Death visits Highgate Cemetary. Missing his fix of Death agus Depression, "Harrowing stories" and general gloom in Montrosia - Tubridy makes a school trip to a graveyard.
Off to Wimbledon. Read all about it NEXT Weekend in the MoS Child's Essay section.
Have you any proof that this was a paid gig? (I have no proof that it wasn't.)
Listening to the last 20mins
Starts of with some freebies or some such, then moves to a news paper article about Keir Starmer being a musician.
Music
Welcome back to someone arriving in Dublin after 7 weeks in Aussieland
Nostaligia from a Dubliner about a night club
Mummbles mummbles ..... Gail (sounding Irish) gets a birthday request for herself ...
And A mad exit for the weekend.
Farage being an established UK Politician has infinitely more connections naturally than Tubridy would ever dream of having.
Whether this is a favour for a mate of a mate, NKM will still have to have taken their cut.
The irony is that neither Piers Morgan nor Tubridy will ever receive much less ever present the REAL Oscars.
There are many things you can desperately attempt to defend Tubridy for but selling his soul to the devil for 150k and then cheaply pimping himself out to record birthday greetings for £100 a time (now that he's no longer on half a mil on the RTE gravy train) is not one of them.
Poor aul tubridy....slumming it....
“Ross has some good connections because he works in PR,” she adds
Sounds like a favour to a mate, or a mate of a mate, rather than the kind of pimping out Farage was doing.
More like the kind of thing Sir Paul McCartney did for Tubridy himself on the last Late Late Show. Common enough amongst celebrities.
Senior Hurling
He's making personal messages for birthdays and other events now. He would have looked down his nose at that a year ago. Remember him ridiculing Nigel Farage for charging £100 per personal message, a few years ago.
I've covered this previously in the thread.
Your mantra is: 'There are so many things one could criticise Tubridy for...' followed by a swift rebuttal of whatever the criticism de jour happens to be. So let's hear some of your criticisms.
Up and down the aisle all the day but not a single toy bought!
He finds all the issues with the buttons. I guess that’s worth a million alone
Response to Gregor Samsa:
My giving Tubridy the benefit of the doubt is in relation to the expectation of professionalism of presentation and relevance of subject content required when presenting on music radio. I am sure your analysis of Einstein's supposed sampling of Custard Creams and how they may have influenced some of his theories or sayings would have intrigued him. And if he dropped any crumbs in the process, I'm sure he would have loved to have been graced with your services as a team leader armed with your Dyson to clean up the mess.
However, that being said with respect to the closing of some of your posts, I for one would never imply or suggest that you sound like a broken record Gregor.
