He was on with neil on 96fm this week and was taking part in a protest in a bank.

Hes too busy ringing up radio stations.

Will someone put up all his best bits on youtube

Prendeville makes up shock stories to get the phones hopping when there is a slow news day. He is an expert at pulling peoples legs maybe he should stick to pulling his :eek::eek::eek::eek: For instance a few weeks back he was doing a slot about men asking women out when this woman rings in and says she was so beautiful that men were afraid to approach her :rolleyes: After a bit of online research it turned out that the woman was none other than one of his work colleagues. After checking out photos of her it was clear that she wasn't the unapproachable beauty she was pretending to be, but then she was only doing what she was told. The phone lines and texts came flying in with who does she think she is

Last week he was on about some young one driving a mini cooper giving out to him about his driving and giving him abuse, when she realized it was Prendeville she gave him even more abuse The way he told the story it was clearly fabricated. Some ould wan rang in after saying the cheek of her giving abuse to Neil Prendeville

It's a bit like reality tv shows with added nonsensical drama to keep viewers.

I dont know he sounded like it was a genuine story with the effing out of your one.

I doubt he would be telling the story on air if it were true. If the phantom driver were real she might have something to say about it. Maybe he might do a follow on next week and get one of his crew to ring in giving him abuse. He gave another example after where another young wan gave him abuse for holding her up at a junction, amazing how he's getting abuse from young women.

He's noted for perking up slow news days I suppose all radio presenters do it when things are slow to fill air time.

On 96FM right now :rolleyes:

Busy day for him, heard him on 4fm at around half one

''The thing about it is'' was on the phone to Boylan again last night. They must be seriously hard up for callers to the show.

I'm convinced that a lot of radio stations actually ring him. If it's a quiet day it's probably a case of "Give John O'Donovan a ring. Sure he'll fill up the time for us".

On 4fm with Niall now talking his usual sense

He was on the Harvey show there again today ranting and raving about some meeting he stormed in Cork last night. He was saying he waved a rat at some labour politicians.

Cork city councils meeting was postponed by a protest.

Surprised he wasn't on with neil this morning.

He probably signed an exclusive rights deal with Harvey

On with neil this morning supporting some wan who is squatting in a house in carrigaline.

Also calling her neighbour a snob on air. Does Prendeville contact him to stir the pot to get things going?

I've no idea who this guy is but Joe Duffy had him on yesterday. He was ranting on about the Bertie Ahern incident and he doesn't like the Labour party.

He is used so much because hes a good caller and pisses people off in every county across the land........
