    To be honest his speech about the hateful comments on social media struck a chord with me. The vile abuse that men on this site dole out at tubridy is nothinv short of shameful. Angry bitter people with so little going on that the purposefully listen to a show they hate in order to give out about it.

    And before someone says "Hi Ryan", you are not as original or funny as you think. Get a hobby boys.

    Thank you for your contribution.

    On the subject of ZTT, I was particularly taken with Duel, by Propaganda.

    I used to have a pile of FGTH 12" vinyl, Act 12"s, etc. Maybe about 20 or 25 items altogether.

    Sold them all for next to nothing before the vinyl came back into fashion.

    Miss them now, as many of those 12" mixes aren't on CD anywhere.

    There are women critics here too.

    This thread is usually good natured , but yes there are horrible people on the internet and yes the majority of abusers are probably men, I’m sure there’s a psychology paper on it at this stage

    Women are equally capable of that in my experience :D
    Pms from women can be unreal.

    I rarely listen to the Tubridy show but do drop into this thread (along with other threads on boards) from time to time.
    I've made a few comments here, but never any "vile abuse".

    Nor am I angry or bitter, I'm quite easygoing really.
    I happened to be listening to the 9am news this morning and left the radio on while I was making some breakfast.
    Tubs was rambling inanely about I forget what so I turned off the radio and carried on with my day.
    No drama.

    I find him very condescending but if you're a fan of the show there is another less critical thread here you might enjoy more than this one.

    I think there should be a happy medium between both. It's not right that he should be roundly criticized all of the time. But neither is it right that he should never read out even one critical text or be open to some forum where the audience have the right to their opinion on him. He's paid a lot of money from the public purse and should be more accountable than he is.

    I think if he actually read out some of the critical texts it would make him more of a human being, and less aloof and cosseted. George Hook used to read out the worst of the texts that people would send him and it made it come across as more humble. Plus it was hilarious!

    Very well put! A hint of self-critique would make him more likeable as a presenter.

    Having a few classes per teacher is going to be his new thing. Its charming and quaint.

    Wants to visit the school? What? I dont think men/women are allowed just do random tours of schools. I suppose it's a perk of being Chief Messer Toyman of the Irish Dignity Brigade tho. He just says what he wants and then it happens.

    Now the teacher from the school. He actually seems like a really interesting guy, great attitude and seems well travelled and able to interact with children. Good interviewee.

    "Tell me about your son who died will you"

    Edit: In response to this the teacher named his son and listed some positive things that happened I.e the make a wish foundation etc.

    Ryan then asked: "what was your son's name? Can you tell me more about his illness"

    Any of the lurkers who read this thread closely or anyone with a sense of decency would surely agree that this isnt normal.
    Such a positive nice man and Tubridy asked about a tragedy, that's fine, we dont need to hide these things, but the man answered in a positive fashion and Tubridy went back for more. He wanted a more miserable response. He wouldnt ask a politician the same question twice like that.

    Ray D’Arcy must be fuming that Tubridy is stealing his act.

    Love the way he keeps pushing the editorial decision to have Barry McGuigan on ,onto the guest himself - Barry wanted to do it I swear we didn't force him!

    People are just let on to the LLS any time they want to speak abut something now apparently. Cowardly comment.
