Annoying traits of radio presenters.....

Lapin · 20-09-2011 06:41PM #1

Here are some of mine.....

Chris Donoghue (Newstalk) - His sharp use of the letter T.

Marian Finnucane (RTÉ Radio 1) - "Whatever you're having yourself".

Marc Coleman (Newstalk) - Coughing and spluttering mid sentence.

Keith Finnegan (Galway Bay FM) - Saying "indeed", "situation" and "in relation to" in every sentence.

Jackie Hurley (RTÉ Radio 1) - Hoarse.

Joe Duffy (RTÉ Radio 1) - Well done, well done, well done....... and lots more.

American Murph (Newstalk, Off the Ball) - Stop shouting FFS.

Have I left anyone out ?

Ray Foley and everyone saying Ray I love the show

Slidey · 20-09-2011 07:58PM

Guess who - Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Jersey Girl · 20-09-2011 08:05PM

Mark Lawrenson on Today FM when talking football. He poses a question after nearly every sentence. "'That's was some goal, wasn't it?"
"Not a bad 'keeper', is he?"

essdee · 20-09-2011 11:13PM

Aine Lawlor on Morning Ireland always repeating the last phrase of the guest she has just interviewed.

mike65 · 20-09-2011 11:44PM

Chris Donoghue could get a job cutting diamonds.

Matt Cooper - posing quite obviously loaded questions designed to elicit an equally obvious response. And of course 'widge' for which and "your nooooos with Juliet Gash"

Rachel English whose mouth gets so dry it clacks like a bag of marbles.

Cathal MaCoille whose breathing sounds like he is testing the aerodynamics of his crusty snots in a wind tunnel.

FlutterinBantam · 21-09-2011 07:40AM

Mary Wilson...toltt ...soltt instead of told and sold.

SEPT 23 1989 · 21-09-2011 09:36AM

Bobby Kerr's amateurism

mike65 · 21-09-2011 10:12AM

Eamon Dunphys faux rebel persona, his chumminess with his gang of friends and his railing against RTE personalities/wages when you know he picks up a handsome stipend.

Col200sx · 21-09-2011 11:39AM

Ray D'Arcy humming the end of every song as it finishes just before he starts talking again.

Jesus man shut up with your humming :mad:

force eleven · 21-09-2011 12:14PM

George Hook - 'Back up the truck' 'Hald on a while now' and 'I love Sky'

NB. That last one was tongue in cheek..;)

That_Guy · 21-09-2011 12:37PM

Tony Fenton - "Great tune"... But he pronounces it "toon".

the keen edge · 21-09-2011 01:23PM

Sean O'Rourke pronouncing "The Guardian" as "The Guardgin".

KayTee · 21-09-2011 01:28PM

Ray D'arcy saying "d'ya see what I did there.." looking for a laugh from the rest of the team every time he makes a play on words..so about once a day

Completely agree with this about Matt Cooper! He seems to have gotten worse putting words in to people's mouths with obviously outlandish statements and waiting for them to react. I thought it was really interesting yesterday evening when he had a guy from Chambers Ireland (or some such business representation) and he was hoping he would get in to a slagfest about local authorities and water charges/leak fixing. He didn't get his way when the guy seemed to be defend the amounts spent and in fact seemed quite pragmatic about what had been done and what needed to be done.

Also the way he says The-A-tre...

europa11 · 21-09-2011 01:29PM

The inability of any one of the "Morning Ireland" team to read a clock.

miketv · 21-09-2011 01:30PM

"Ooorrsenall" by a certail Mooichael MacMuulannnn

Sunnyisland · 21-09-2011 01:32PM

Mary Wilson saying "uz" instead of "us". She's still much better, focused and factual than Hook and his egocentric "me, me, me" programme with silly supertrolls like Michael Graham.

Anything by Moycul McMullen.

Yes, definitely. That's if he even shows up... He hardly ever seems to be hosting the show these days

bamboozle · 22-09-2011 09:06AM

Chris Donoghue

1 - inability to pronounce the letter 'T', i had to switch off around the time they were talking alot about priests abuse and 'de vaddican'

2- i'm here with Mr Yeats, its always 'Mr Yeats'

3- i'm joined on the line by John Smith, Hi John its good to speak to you, now John my question is....

plus newstalks presenters ability to plead with you to text in every 30 seconds or so...still warts and all newtalk is streets ahead of RTE

Des Cahill - anything that exits his mouth gets me angry, last week, 'splutter splutter, sneeze, sniff...now in rugby news that Mike Tindall fella who is married to the royal one' seriously Des, a little bit of professionalism...please?

DuckStab · 22-09-2011 09:53AM

Ray D'arcy taking a massive gulping intake of breath after every time he laughs, sounds like he's attempting to re-inflate.

George Hook's put-on American accent; "Join us on FACEBUHK DTHAT CAM, or THWIDDER." "When I was in BWASTHAN..." (Boston), so forth.

Radiotower · 22-09-2011 01:18PM

Tony Fentons rhyming slang...

George Hooks interviewing (himself) - usually tells a big story about himself/his childhood etc and then just asks "do you agree?" - doesn't seem to listen to the answer and then takes into his next antedote....

Larry Gogan starts every sentence with a little laugh/chuckle (is he still on radio - I dont listen to 2fm that much)

Will Leahy, is it? on 2fm - always seems to shouting about the weekend coming up..

Christ it must be tough being perfect.
