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.

Cat-Mod: See post here regarding off-topic segues.
he’s gonna lose his phone and his wallet pretty quickly if he does that for real
Not to mention getting shoved aside by impatient commuters! 😁
That would'nt be Jolly Japes for him.
Not sure the pickpockets would have much use for some WillowWarm gift vouchers….
If he does have his pocket picked, no doubt we will read about it in the London Diary and it will in his mind at least be by a young rapscallion rehearsing for a West End production of Oliver Twist, whilst Tubridy will congratulate himself on helping a future star of stage and screen take his first steps into superstardom.
I've never seen a "read book" to open in such a way…clunking together of pages. And the Indian lad behind him knows this :).
It would be a small challenge, a challenge all the same to move to the next page looking at that picture
I haven’t read that book but I can’t imagine it’s as hilarious as Tubridy’s facial expression suggests. Adds to the staged theory.
It's getting beyond a joke at this stage. This is the follow on from only a couple of days ago, when he purported to not remembering Jerry Springer was interviewed by him, until a cursory Google shocked his memory into revolt.
Let's examine the photo again. The caption is "Caught mid-read" - so the LIE is in your face. Not sure if the book is a comedic blockbuster or not, in order to explain that gormless smile, but nobody could hold a leather case like that and read at the same time. And as another poster pointed out, it's the same "unread" book look - like last year when he was photographed reading a book, but in each photo he managed to skip multiple chapters. Total shyster. But the question remains - is he actually fooling anybody - even his instagram mammies at this stage - are they that clueless that they could believe this to be an ad-hoc snap in "mid-read" - surely to God not?
Sadly, I think there are some who are buying this crap. Don’t ever underestimate how dumb people are.
I have. And it's quite good - but not a feel good read.
God no. The thought is chilling. Does anyone here honestly think rte would have the b@lls to have him back on any of their radio stations?
Is he hoping for a slot on lyric as he's such an intellectual
I’m guessing RTE will have him back on TV or Radio, maybe a travel show, or a weekend slot on Radio,
He’s served his time, and RTE is a real “old boys club” Kevin will announce that he’s getting no more than 250k, NK will have a sponsor lined up, and it will be fait accompli,
RTE have no quality control, just listen to the unadulterated nonsense from 1.45 to 4,30 on weekends, Tubridy will be eased back in. unfortunately
..
Would you therefore agree the picture would appear to be staged?
Does anyone read with that expression on their face? Unless he’s using a €150,000 cheque as a bookmark of course and laughing at that? Bonkers.
250 Basic Salary + Allowances + Employer Pension. Suddenly you are up near Joe Duffy's 350k
Dont forget the weekend allowance, better make it another 100k
To be fair, Oisin is probably much better known in London so Tubs prob only delighted to ask him to post about him on the Tube - he's landlord of the Devonshire pub in Soho which has become the new hotspot of the city for celebs and public. Tubs obviously jumping on the hype train regularly refers to this place as his "local" and "friend" (Oisin). I wonder when they have real celebs does the owner roll his eyes when he gets a message from Tubs saying he'll be in for a pint!
I assume that AI'd photo is a bit of a ribbing from Oisin, rather than the idea that it is a real photo. can anyone send me a link to the original post on instagram, I find it difficult to search instagram.
It must have been a story as it’s gone now. Here’s Oisín:
https://www.instagram.com/mcmoop?igsh=d3dtNDNzNHZoZXRr I watched a couple of his reels. He’s pretty much exactly how I expected him to be. He bizarrely has a story today where some about the town geezer is talking about the best Guinness in London init and said geezer says you walk past the Devonshire and down this lane (clearly to another pub)….and then it ends.
his mastery of AI seems to be as good as his knowledge of Zetta!!
He finished the book….or so he claims. The review seems at odds with his maniacal expression on the tube however…..intriguingly bonkers. The comments are…..well, judge for yourselves:
5 star review of book comes out after totally unrelated photo of reading said book on tube days earlier.
Just a coincidence.
No monies or favours granted for said gushing review or pre photos taken. All a fluke.
neil_thompson_75 doesn’t seem to know what a selfie is…..while katecsherwin needs to get out a bit more. lorainebrowne loves the anonymity of London…it’s very easy be anonymous when no-one knows who you are.
I think he is more interested in that brown leather bag tbh 🤣
Nobody is perfect but I'm so happy not to be one of those absolute saps
I have an image in my head of the 150k cheque as a bookmark, being one of those dummy cheques that get used for presentations. 😁
Idea for a tv show….Tubs on the Tube….international tv and radio superstar Ryan Tubridy rides the London Underground posing for completely spontaneous and not in any way staged photos with books, whilst engaging in casual chats with his adoring fans, and pointing with a knowing grin at the location signs in each station. Sponsored by WillowWarm.
Coming soon - Monkey Tennis, and Youth Hosteling with Donnacha O’Callaghan.
Don't worry, most (all?) are not real.
Jaysus, all you have to do is look at the title...
Apologies if these have been posted previously but the tube pic reminded me of this from a few years ago. It seems he can’t go anywhere without being recognised by his millions of fans, as described here in his usual humble style:https://www.rsvplive.ie/news/celebs/rtes-ryan-tubridy-says-theres-27780267.amp As usual with the puff pieces they were everywhere. Same article was in all the usual places with minimal (if any) changes.
Gift Grub’s take wasn’t so #kind: https://www.goloudplayer.com/episodes/gift-grub-ryan-tubridy-gets-stop-ZGE4MGQzYmQ2OWU1ZjA0NGQ0NGMxODE4ZDhkMDU2YTY%3D They must not be on #TeamTubs or #TeamNK
I do hope the links work, kept getting error messages as I tried to post them.
