Wait...did that poster just post your address? Or am I missing something?

yomtea98 · 15-04-2014 12:12AM

Can't believe he didn't see it coming

This is getting weird when people start posting someones address when it should be done by private IM.

I was joking. Not my address. Red Nissan was being threatening from what I could make out cause I said I only knew prenderville from the plane story. Weird reaction.

All I said was he's not that famous except for the incident.

You say much more sir, than the few words on screen.

Thanks? I merely thanked you for your post.

Deco99 · 15-04-2014 12:27AM

Your words aren't constructed properly so i dont know what you're on about. Its getting a bit creepy for me. Good night.

Red Nissan · 15-04-2014 12:29AM

FYI the address does not exist.

I see an Amy in your life, no its Michelle ...

It's not threatening, but I do recognise the accent.

Fantastic, maybe I should take to the stage in the Opera House, in Cork, would you buy a ticket for the show?

If Keith Barry was worth his salt and actually was able to carry out the feats he says he can carry out, then he should have known he wasn't going to go on Red FM and stayed in bed instead of zombie driving for 3 hours putting other road users in danger. Brain hacker me hole.

He admits everything is an illusion. He's not really magic! Lol.

I for one believe Keith.

I think Neil just likes all the public exposure he gets from the spat.

Plenty of witnesses saw Barry turning up at the station and his threatening behaviour towards one female receptionist in particular.

With plenty of witnesses in paid employment by Redfm, with Redfm in a ratings battle I would take their "story" with a pinch of salt....

Although it's funny seeing all the contrived advertising for the prune headed twat around Cork, standing in front of the Shandon Tower wearing a plasticky fake leather jacket and a Hoody trying to be one of the people, I'm glad he took his pet Octopus Colm Moore with him (arm arm arm arm erm arm) Colm could not formulate a sentence if you gave him a week...

People still listen to the radio?! I mean live radio on FM?

Keith Barry airs his side of the tale

From his facebook

Quote:
For anyone interested this will be my final comment on the Cork's Red FM issue with Neil Prendeville. Having listened to his show today I am gobsmacked. When I arrived downstairs in Red Fm I got a call from my publicist saying he was not going to have me on as I had just been on another station (although he had never asked for an exclusive and to be clear i was going to do completely different demos for him). I called the programme director from downstairs to see what was going on. He didn't answer. Myself and my assistant Jose went into reception where we were met by a lovely researcher/producer who kindly offered us coffee. I assumed then all was good. She asked us where we were parked and told us we needed to move the car as we would be clamped in the space we were in.

Jose went to move the car. Then a male producer(which Neil forgot to mention on his show) came out and told me Neil would not have me on. I explained I had stayed up very late preparing and also had hung around beautiful Cork an hour for the interview. I asked him was he ok with me mentioning online about the fact that Neil won't have me on. He said he agreed with me that I should be on the show, would not be happy about me commenting online and went back into talk to Neil.

This was at 11am - I believe the news is on at that time so Neil could have come out to explain the situation. In the meantime Jose returned wherein the original producer/researcher asked him what our car reg was. We didn't know so Jose happily went back out to get it. The male producer returned and stated Neil was sticking with his decision and wouldn't have me on. I told him I was not happy about the situation and promptly left the building. At no time was there any finger pointing at anyone 'in a menacing way(according to Neil) and at no time was I aggressive. I am not and never have been 'a bully' and have no time for it. Those of you who have ever met me know that I pride myself on being a hard working and decent man, and although my entertainment is not for everyone I do my best in life.
The ONLY interaction over the 10/15 mins of this embarrassing situation that I had with the receptionist was a kind hello on the way in and as I left I did say jokingly 'I love Red Fm but sh*t's gonna hit the fan'. I do think Neil is a good Broadcaster and I wish Red and him every success in the future. This is a true and accurate statement of what happened - time to move on and make this page fun again. Thanks. Keith

Well now that's settled!

You take off your bras, ill make the tea.

beakerjoe · 15-04-2014 11:11AM

Wait.... so the cops KNEW internal affairs were setting them up?!!!!

Birneybau · 15-04-2014 11:18AM

He jokingly said "Sh!ts gonna hit the fan".

The man is an egomaniac (should that be egomentalist?).

Ash.J.Williams · 15-04-2014 11:22AM

Still acting the twat all the same thinking one word from him and his "celebrity" mates can ruin a radio station

SpaceTime · 15-04-2014 11:25AM

All I'd say is that getting on air to a pretty large audience (100,000 plus in his last gig) to promote a commercial event for free is a privialge.

The station could refer you to ad sales.

There has to be a trade off in terms of supplying them with something interesting on air, a national level celeb wouldn't really work if you've just been on their arch nemisis station across town.

If you're Beyonce or something, you might get away with that.

lertsnim · 15-04-2014 12:19PM

I could never believe what someone who masturbated openly on a plane would say. To blame Nurofen tells me he is a liar

Pat Mustard · 15-04-2014 02:28PM

It was Nurofen Plus. Strong stuff. The pharmacist won't give that to you until you've tried smack first.

I Heart Internet · 15-04-2014 02:31PM

I'd take Keith Barry's word on it.

But I do wonder why he so pointedly explained his assistant's absence from the reception at crucial times during the interaction.......

This is one hell of a confusing thread...how many accounts does the 'self mile high club activist' have?

He's a neville.

Cork even has Arnie Pye in the sky traffic reports done by Wayne in the Plane on 96fm every morning.

It's *very* like Springfield sometimes.

All we need is the directly elected Mayor Quimby and there are loads of potential candidates for that job :P

It even has a long standing disgruntled relationship with Shelbyville (Dublin)

All we need now is the Monorail...
