    Take your finger off the volume button

    It's because the guy in the boot with the remote (and axe) likes it

    when newstalk comes on in my car the sound suddenly disappears... due to my finger changing the station

    The volume of a radio station is directly related to the pomposity of its presenters. George Hook ensures Newstalk operates at a good 2 dB higher than most stations.

    Got a new car radio myself. One of those fancy voice-activated ones.
    If I say 'Rock' while driving, it tuned in to Phantom.
    Or if I say 'easy listening', Q102 comes on.
    On the way to work today, this fecker cut inside me with no indicator, and I shouted 'STUPID PR*CK!!!' ... and Gerry Ryan came on the radio.

    You probably have one of those steering wheels with the radio controls on them, and are upping the volume instead of using your indicators.

    Or you could be picking your ears clean during the commute which gives the apparent rise in volume.

    at least not radio 1 morning show where your man cathal is breathing extremely loud through his noise. Have to turn off sometimes. I believe people regularly complain.

    If you read it all aloud in a bad French accent it starts to make some sense after a while.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,499 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    I used to listen to the station every day religiously. Not anymore.

    For multiple different reasons.

    Just "a" bottle?

    In fairness, while I wouldn't be as damning, I do dislike the sexism and "nudge nudge she had a fine chest in her" puerile stuff from Hook and Yates.

    Hook is an idiot. Did you hear his rant about water charges the other evening? I thought he was going to have a heart attack on air.

    Shane Coleman isn't a FG man. Dyed in the wool FF he is, shur he's a brother in law of Dermot Ahern.

    He just comes across as a FG head in the presence of Hook, because he's a pathetic lickspittle and probably afraid of decrepit old George.
