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.

Shots fired in that article!
Whilst it's a go at RTE management…it must've been quite hard on the teachers present during his school visits.
Teacher: OK, big treat boys and girls we've the Toyman in today for a chat!
Tubs: Hey kids how do you like history? Not so much? Well you just haven't had a good teacher yet!
Teacher: Eh, you can fnck off now ye prick. And take Russell Crowe with you too.
I've been trying to decipher that myself.
Could someone explain what the writer means here:
One to read the midnight feast I think I won two points in five games
But like in any business, a bad leader can kill morale, curiosity and hope. I've seen this up close in my professional life.

Another dig at Dee Forbes from Mr Kindness. He never takes any responsibility for the fact that he had his agent harangue her, so he wouldn't take a drop in pay.
I 100% believe it. You can try to frame it anyway you want but the facts speak for themselves. People can read what’s be written in this thread by the suspected shills and make their own mind up.
I value Dr Phibes and the rest of the NKM acolyte contributions.....otherwise it would just be an echo chamber of a thread about how much of a gobshìte tubridy is....
Variety is the spice of life....even varying up your boards persona mixes it up....keeps the honest among us on our toes....well done Bobson & Co.
I suspect Bobson may have been pulling your leg with a humorous jape.
Unless you genuinely believe that NK has hired an entire team of shills and they are currently slaving away with burner phones and botnets all in a gallant effort to make 5k a year for the most successful showbiz agent in the country.
In fairness it’s only Bobson that has admitted to being a shill which is - ‘an accomplice of a confidence trickster or swindler who poses as a genuine customer to entice or encourage others.’
Gregor may have admitted it too but I always just scroll past his posts.
Particularly if he has to pay Bobson and Gregor out of the €5k.
you would say that because you’re a NK paid shill.
Actually, this makes me wonder. The NeverTubbs narrative is that Ryan is unloved, washed up and slumming it in London earning a pittance.
If all of this is true (it’s not) then why on Earth would NK spend money on a Putinesque social media campaign to big up a fella who the haters say is getting 50k a year.
Presuming NK takes 10 percent .. that’s a lot of work to earn 5 grand a year if you’re Noel.
Why not? The answer amused me, but I didn't dislike it. I think that Tubridy is a talentless clown, but that doesn't mean that I need to take all the speculation on this thread as gospel.
and Unfunny Fridays now continuing in prime hotels around the country.
But KB won't be there forever, and the way he has started his tenure, he might not last that long.
How are the money saving measures going at rte?
Has there been a single redundancy?
The monstrously egotistical imaginary version of Tubridy that exist in his haters' heads…
Whereas the real one, even he does have an inflated view of his own importance, must surely know it was extremely RTE would never be looking for him back so soon and indeed at all while Bakhurst is running the show…
then why the sarcastic follow up?
I loved the answer.
don’t ask questions you may not like the answers to….
You have great mind reading capabilities.
forgotten about? Not on boards he isn’t !
I.oredict he'll stay as he is for the foreseeable future and if this podcast thing is a success, hell hightail it back to Malahide.
Maybe some local radio will offer him a job as he nears retirement.
I maybe wrong on all counts.😁
But I will predict correctly that I'll never listen to the boy😯
Whose belief was this? Noel Kellys
"The move to London was supposed to be the launchpad for Tubridy back into Ireland. 6 months over there and the belief surely was RTE or Newstalk would be begging for his return and prepared to pay big bucks to get him back."

Its had the opposite effect, he's yesterdays man, forgotten about, largely irrelevant, as time has moved on. He's now stuck in no mans land.
And Virgin really is the last chance saloon. Next stop the dole queue or a non broadcasting career.
No, they're not related.
I gave him 5 minutes this week.
Someone from Liverpool texted in (I'm surprised he knew the number as it took Tubs 3 attempts to get it half right). "Ah Liverpool I was there….The Beatles, McCartney, Strawberry Fields, the architecture…it's an Irish city really..".
Someone else texted in from Galway and said Tubs brightens up her day. To which he replied- "Sure that's what we're here for: to add sunshine, happyness and laughter to your day before I go home and cry uncontrollably in my apartment…(there was a brief awkward pause at this, point)…ah, only joking I don't really."
I wasn't convinced by his last line.
quite likely, he once referred to online trolls with names like (my former username). Either he saw it first hand himself or it was pointed out to him by one of our present brethren.
You'll do well to listen to him today, it is Good Friday you know…. Ryan has other things to be doing rather than working.
this was posted in the Cool Pictures thread…. So maybe Tubs is a Boardsie afterall?
Retro article re NK, featuring Tubs
At lot of posters don’t yet know there’s more to MontroseGate that has yet to reach the public domain. 😉😉😉
