The Ray D'Arcy Show Thread - Mod note Post # 1 Updated

Mark 00

Is anybody getting tired of the Ray D'arcy show. well not so much the show but rather him and his moral highground. If i'm looking for an opinionated gobs**te, there are plenty of other shows. His show used to be just about havin a laugh and not takin things too seriously but in the last year or so he cant seem to talk about anything without giving a big opinionated spiel about whats right, (coz if its his opinion, then obviously it has to be right). Bring back the old days when he used to brighten up our mornings.

Mod Note:

There is no reason to discuss the presenters personal life here. This thread is to do with the Radio Show itself and not the private life of Ray D'Arcy. Anyone found to be dragging threads off topic will incur at least a ban for 24 hours

Mod Note 2:
What this thread is about; it's to talk about the show but if all people are willing to provide is a bucket of bile and a mob opinion of negativity I'd suggest that they are in the wrong place because this is not 4Chan...

Haven't listened in a couple of weeks, Maireads voice is like nails on a chalk board

When she was taking off how GAA players (apparently according to her anyways) speak this morning it was nothing short of cringeworthy, I'd say Ray pissed in his trousers with all the laughing he was doing. Plebs!

For a guy who seems to pride himself on being somewhat of a cultchie he let himself down the other day by assuming that Dublin airport is the only place where anyone might first encounter Irish soil:rolleyes:

Originally, for anyone arriving from USA/Canada, Foynes Co Limerick was the first Airport of arrival and then it was Shannon up until a few years, ago,IE that means ALL tourists from North America, regardless of destination, arrived on the west coast first, and that was just by air. What about ports/airports in Waterford, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Donegal, Derry, Belfast etc ?

Pedantic? I didn't think so. Logical???? It's logical to assume that Dublin Airport is the only place someone would arrive into Ireland?

It's the most used Airport in the country. I live abroad and 80% of the time when I'm home I use Dublin Airport. (other 20% Rosslare Harbour taking the Ferry from France) So yeah I think logical. It's getting to the point that no matter what he says people get offended, and I think in this instance it's a bit nit picky.

Can't believe this conversation started and is still continuing. Lame

They had Ray's stag the other night (Friday) Will put up a picture on twitter. Have to say I felt bad for him as the majority of comments in reply to the tweet were of a slagging nature. Some were in good spirits, but most made fun of the fact they were old and were boring, stuff like that.

That's fecking harsh, it's been a long time since I've seen anyone use that word in that context. It's no longer the 1800's or the 1980s for that matter.

Most have been a pretty wild stag for Will to start tweeting during it...

Could be spiritualist or humanist or they might be having a seperate registry office wedding during the week for the legal part and then getting someone they know to perform a ceremony on Saturday.

Not prudish either but is this topic really necessary during school holidays?
I mean there's no way it would be a topic on Irish daytime TV :pac:

in fairness he does give a blatantly obvious warning that they are going to be talking about the subject. but yes he could use the phrase oral sex instead of bj.

Same could be said about the sex advice slot really.

TBH, it's topical, and as long as he wasn't being overtly vulgar (i.e. saying "Ah jaaaysus she was licking the balls off him!") then I don't really see why he shouldn't discuss it just because some parent's little precious' ears might be polluted by the real world as opposed to Elmo.

They do need to be careful during the holidays, though. The BAI are inclined to do a Helen Lovejoy when school is out.

Section 2.3 Protection for Children of the BAI Code of Programme Standards states that with
regard to the protection of children when scheduling programme material, particular care shall
be taken in the following circumstances:

i. When scheduling programme material that is broadcast either side of programmes that are
likely to be watched or listened to by children,
ii. When scheduling programme material during school-run times,
iii. When scheduling programme material during school holidays when the viewing and
listening patterns of children can change.
