    the guy sounded a bit weird , saying he wanted to help a fellow kildare person , but anyone who points out Rays many flaws ( he is on 400k ) is fine by me

    Happened to hear Darcy talk to that guy that was on first dates last night. Since being on he got back with his ex and is expecting a baby shortly. Darcy starts with lets go back over a few dates, so it was filmed in bla bla bla and you got back with her when???? Cheap shot but usual p1ss poor interviewing skills

    I heard that bit. It's worse he's getting. I think he was hoping to have a birth live on air.

    I doubt it.

    He never said anything about it ....

    My proudest running moment was seeing D'arcy in his normal spot during the Dublin Marathon, right at the top of the hill when at mile 21 , when absolutely everyone is hanging and hitting the wall , and him standing there with his big fat smug head telling everyone "well done etc" , and telling him to his face , "shut up Darcy you smug fupper"..:):):)

    You should be "demasking your negativity".

    Brenda is a head wrecker but shes a good looking curvy woman

    I don't think I've ever seen a pic of her, but I always assumed she was a Melissa McCarthy lookalike.

    Her voice is like a cheese grater for the ears.

    "Are you the type of person who is easily pleased".

    f**k me, I guess Stephen is not an avid listener to the buzzkill.

    Ray: Good Good Good.

    Ray got sick at a sport and science centre yesterday.

    Must have been too much fun.

    Yeah, well done to Tony Ten for being very honest about his thieving of hundreds of thousands of euros from the State. A great man indeed.

    Ratings: “Leaving Neverland” Not a Ratings Smash for HBO, Beaten by “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” “Beachfront Bargain Hunt,” Survivalists Show

    And ironic that Roger Friedman is the author of the article. I'm not alone in the boycott. Channel 4 should have higher viewer figures, it's a bit of a trashy station.

    Well it certainly wasn't for HBO. Ray is a dirty rat for letting that weasel Dan Reed on his show today. Channel 4 is a trashy channel so they probably will attract the chaff. Ray decided Michael Jackson was guilty on 31st January after listening to clearly a MJ hater go unchallenged on Liveline. The caller compared MJ to Hitler, brought up Jimmy Saville, Gary Glitter and others. Joe let him go mostly unchecked, apart from the Hitler comment. The lying rant starts at ~40:45.

    Ray said right at the beginning of the show that he wouldn't play Michael's music ever again. Hadn't seen the show, nobody had outside of the Sundance festival. Didn't do any research, or fact checking. Just right there on the spot, made up his mind. He has no business being on the air.

    Edit: And just so you know Ray, I decided there and then that I wouldn't listen to your show ever again. Had never watched his Saturday night TV show, never would.

    Ray should check his own playlists... and delete where applicable...

    Dunno. I thought it was an interesting interview. Then again always thought that Wacko Jacko was a creep.

    And I wouldn't have thought that C4 is as trashy as some stations. Enjoyed watching Derry Girls the last few nights - is that trashy too?

    I don't watch TV that much anymore but when I did channel 4 was always seen as more innovative and risqué than BBC or ITV. Unless something drastic has changed in the past twenty or so years, content wise there was always some quality programmes coming from it.

    How exactly should he be ??? He's from South County Dublin, and his business is in Bray.
    Should he adopt a North County Dublin persona, maybe a Finglas/Naul attitude...


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,194 ✭✭✭goochy


    he wasnt that posh - but just a bit sure of himself - smug - this is from a Dub marooned in Cork - just reminded me why if though i am one myself i dont warm to alot of Dub/ Bray people

    I heard him on one of the American talk shows recently and he said "This is not about Michael Jackson, this is the story of two victims of abuse". Which I found about as believable as "It wasn't my idea to have a Jack Nicholson impersonator". Dan Reed's production begins and ends with Michael Jackson, if Jackson wasn't world famous then the documentary would not have been made.
    Ray said right at the beginning of the show that he wouldn't play Michael's music ever again.

    I'd say at the family meeting that it was decided for him by Jenny mutually agreed that Michael Jackson was now a bad man. Knowing Ray, he will be back playing Michael Jackson records this time next year - he's never been a man to stick with his convictions

    Remember when he first joined RTE and he refused to hand off to Cheltenham, or his "leaving the country". The only thing that he has actually stuck with is being a complete c**t to the Nuacht team.
