    You will find out soon enough if there's a problem with anything you post. If you think you are skating a line of comments that are "deplorable" it might be time to rethink what you post.

    New rules will be written into the forum charter in the coming days.

    Also, do not comment on moderator instruction on thread. It is off topic.

    Everyone should know exactly where they stand. The Terms of Use are very clear. If any user has made any post that needs to be acted on then they will be informed in the usual way with a notification of a "warned" post. NO user in particular is being singled out, all posts are viewed with a notice and action approach. If posts are viewed by a moderator or reported and action is needed then it should and will be acted on.



  • Administrators, Boards.ie Employee, Boards Employee 2, Boards Employee 3 Posts: 1,474 ✭✭✭✭✭Boards.ie: Mike


    The only regulations are the sites terms of use and the specific forum charters. These points leave plenty of scope for engaging and civil discussion.

    Mod: It would help if people didn't respond to re-regs who pop up to have a go at posters. Just report and ignore, as previously requested.

    Nothing more painful than when a group of adults refer to themselves as "messers." That word should be left behind in primary school.

    See also: Lottie Ryan and her co-host on their failed 2FM Drivetime "summer" show. They were "Ireland's biggest messers" apparently. Can't imagine why their show flopped…

    What sort of messing would Ryan and Kathryn get up to exactly?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,887 ✭✭✭yagan


    It's all very like recycled 90s banter.

    We've people from all over the world living here it would be great if we actually had a popular radio station that reflected that. There's a couple of cafes I frequent run by Italians and they'll have a radio from back home on playing interesting tunes that gets no airing here, even though we're in the EU.

    A number of off topic posts deleted. This is not a feedback thread. Moderator instruction is not to be commented on on thread. I will open a feedback thread at the top of the forum that people can use. But there will be guidelines to posting.

    So, I was driving the wife's car today and low and behold Q102 came on when I pressed a button on the radio. And it was Tubs' show, which I actually don't believe I've heard before, unless a snippit.

    He was speaking at a mile a minute, stuttering to create sentences, like he was on uppers. Anyway, he was rambling on about something about the Beatles and "crocs" which I didn't understand, and then interviewed some guy off The Apprentice.

    The Apprentice guy seemed authentic, which prompted Tubs to talk about authenticity in people. Apprentice guy talked about being authentic and Tubs said "yeah, it's about giving something back to people", or something to that effect, when talking about helping others.

    Unfortunately, for me, hearing Tubs mention "giving something back", reminded me of something he clearly hasn't given back.

    Middle of interview, suddenly a song interupted and played on. I went to a shop, and when I came back, the interview had started again from where it left off, which I don't follow - is it not live, or on a delay? Then a couple of minutes later the "croc" story came up again, but I couldn't determine if it was the same conversation or he was rehashing it.

    Oh, and he talked about Lidl getting some pub licence in some store, and proceeded to pretend to be a drunk shopping in Lidl by doing a cliché drunk accent and roaring laughing with himself. Truly awful stuff.

    Anyway, I've made an appointment with the doctor. The whole thing scarred me.

    Ryan Tubridy has shared his disgust of crocs after calling the spike in their sales "awful news". The Late Late Show host added that their growing popularity made for "dark times".

    Speaking on his radio show Ryan said: "There's awful news as well that there's a spike in the sales of crocs. That's the tin hat in it now. You'd hope, wouldn't you, that crocs would be banished and people would say, 'God I have more time to think and be with my family and to do nice things. And look at your footwear and say, 'What was I thinking?' But no, you still persist."

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thesun.ie/tvandshowbiz/6402466/rte-ryan-tubridy-shares-disgust-crocs/amp/

    He has such a limited number of topics that he continuously returns to. He has mentioned this on numerous occasions, and is always guffawing and feigning disgust. Like when he was pretending that puffins didn't actually exist. Don't know how someone so lacking in curiosity ever got such a high profile position on our national broadcaster.

    Communication was the greatest fatality

    Ryan is more of a flip flop man.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,277 ✭✭✭Peter Dragon


    He won’t like this then:

    https://www.crocs.com/c/collabs/beatles

    Saw them in London last week. Big display in the window of the Crocs store in Covent Garden. Presumably Mr, McCartney doesn’t hate them, or he wouldn’t approve the collaboration.

    The question is, will Ryan now change his view on these given this latest development?

    IMG_0273.jpeg IMG_0274.jpeg

    On sale in The Beatles Official Store too - that’s where the pics above are from. It’s actually the first thing you see on the homepage when you open it (link below).



    I’ve personally never owned a pair of Crocs, but you can see how they’ve risen / re-risen in popularity in recent years. I clearly recall seeing a lot of teens and young adults in particular wearing them with socks (yes) last summer. Apparently wearing them with socks is the done thing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,600 ✭✭✭hawley


    Did you purchase a pair for him😀 He'll probably be looking for a pair of them of them on his radio show. Someone was keeping a list of all his gifts on the old thread.

    Communication was the greatest fatality

    I see Vogue Williams appeared on . "The.Apptentice - you're fired" last night.

    She's building quite a profile for herself in the UK with previous appearances in "Richard Osman's house of Games", etc

    It must be galling for the kind toy book man that the person who stands in for him when he "takes a well deserved break 😉" is much more recognisable than him in his adopted home



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,957 ✭✭✭GSF


    I’d have thought Tubridy would be perfect for You’re Fired show



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 903 ✭✭✭supereurope


    Vogue has the advantage of being married to Spencer Matthews, famous from Made in Chelsea, and being related through marriage to Pippa Middleton.

    Until about 7 or 8 years ago, the biggest fashion crime anyone could commit was to wear socks with sliders (or pool shoes.) Then around 2016/2017, someone decided that you HAD to wear socks with sliders, and now the biggest fashion crime anyone can commit is not to wear socks with sliders.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,277 ✭✭✭Peter Dragon


    Well I wouldn’t say it’s the biggest fashion crime per se, but acknowledge it is considered a crime!

    I must profess to wearing sliders without socks on the rare occsssions I do wear them. Guilty your honour.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,503 ✭✭✭leath_dub


    So the only reason Tubs isn't getting gigs is because he isn't loosely related to the British Royal Family 😂?

    There is a kind of a circuit people in the circles Tubs would aspire to move in go on:
    8 out of 10 Cats


    Taskmaster

    House Of Games

    After shows (Boke off, Apprentice, etc)

    Pointless

    The same. people pop up time and again on them

    Tuns never appears n any of these, just emphasising the impression that he's not on the radar over there at all



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,887 ✭✭✭yagan


    I think the problem for any UK TV producer is he's still a total nobody to UK audiences, and radio like Virgin Radio is legacy media that you really only hear as background noise.

    He's very firmly established now in the periphery as a human voice to that background noise, but his rapid speech patterns make all hope of traction with the UK audience neigh on impossible.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 903 ✭✭✭supereurope


    Ha, no of course not, but my point being that Vogue is very much an "insider" in UK media now, she has plenty of connections through her husband.

    Ryan has no connections, and it seems little interest in making them, for example, look how he left London at the height of the summer social season. I've often wondered if the Virgin job was him genuinely thinking he'd go to London, become the new Terry Wogan and have the Radio 2 Breakfast Show and a primetime BBC chatshow by the spring of 2025, or if it was just a placeholder until the "unpleasantness" here blows over. I'm more convinced it's the latter.

    The fact that he can’t even get a guest spot on some second tier channel like Dave or Channel Five but instead is off reading to school kids in Termonfeckin suggests the latter too ..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,887 ✭✭✭yagan


    I remember reading a piece about Dara O'Briain and Ed Byrne talking about how they both had to learn to pace themselves and fully pronounce words more for a British audience. When you're live on a stage in a crowded hall you have to learn to ensure that you're bringing your audience with you, whereas Ryaner without a live audience in front of him never adjusted his patter. If his London radio is his calling card for TV it simply won't work.

    You can have a strong accent and be understood if you fully pronounce, even if you speak fast like Dara O'Briain.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,277 ✭✭✭Peter Dragon


    I didn’t, but had I known of his disdain for Crocs, I might have. For once, I wouldn’t object to adding to his freebie list.

    As I noted this morning, it will be interesting to see if he does a complete about turn on his stance on Crocs; or if his old habit of hinting at or asking for freebies makes a comeback,

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,887 ✭✭✭yagan


    And Dave Allan too. Patter and pause.

    And it's not like he never had a chance to work on live audience rapport, but his LLS tenure from the few bits I ever saw of it were driven by cue cards, no patter and pause.

    They also knew not to bash their British audiences over the head with their obscure Irish references. Tailoring his patter to suit a non-Irish audience, or knowing what might or might not be interesting to them is beyond him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,907 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    This "messers at the back of the class" spiel. I don't get it. He has used this guff several times before.

    You're a man of 50yrs old. Why are you comparing yourself to a young teenager at school?

    It's also like those 40 something Irish DJs who's content on their shows is "what's the maddest thing you ever did to get off school"
