Gay is he all that

I used to like him but I changed my mind about him listening to him on his show on Lyric fm.

I love jazz music but Gay used this show as a platform to pontificate a lot of the time. A case in point would be his opinions on bad grammar and diction, which would be admirable were he not so arrogant about it. He loved to point out how he hates what he has dubbed "the soft Irish T" and peoples' other shortcomings in pronounciation. One Sunday, he had taken particular offence at hearing a newsreader or radio presenter (I can't remember which) say "newwwas" in a strong Dublin accent. He went on to insult this pronounciation and then said that the person in question would better be suited to a job as a bin man. How dare he belittle people in such a way!

He must have forgotten the roots of his beloved jazz has its roots in the working class of society. He must also have forgotten that bin men have radios too!:D Where would Gay be without someone who was willing to take his rubbish and dispose of it for him? Where would he be without all the humble housewives who made him all his money by tuning into his radio show every day? Society is like one of Gay's beloved jazz bands. Everyone has their role to play from top to bottom. Take away one person from either and the whole thing falls apart. We, all of us, are important in our own way. Shame on Gay to look down his toffee nose at someone like that. That of course is just one example. He is arrogant and self-important and doesn't try to hide it.

p.s. I thought he had retired? :rolleyes:

Poor Gaybo has been trying to retire for the past 79 years - Never underestimate Irish State bodies tenacity and commitment to shovelling mountains cash at the Fcuker year after year for doing sweet fcuk all.

- As for his pronunciation snobbery, his radio advert with the cringe worthy "once again I find myself among the greats" or whatever it was for the museum of 'style icons' sounded excruciating - Like a poor elocution teacher on an acid overdose - I call Hypocrite!!!

Not really a fan tbh. I thought he was ok at the LLS in his day but otherwise I find him difficult to listen to.

He is totally wrong for Road Safety anyway. What does he know about it? And do they really think the people they are targeting will listen to a pompous old man?

for years he was the man who pointed out what was wrong with this country. maybe someone thought he could put his theories into practice.

greybo is the voice of the elderly. nobody else remembers or cares about 'the bishop and the nightie' or any other way he apparently shaped modern Ireland.
