    It seems to me that we are not allowed to say anything any more for fear of getting into trouble but we can do anything we want.... literally and expect to get away with it!! this world is going to eat itself up soon.

    I would often put this clip up in debates like this.

    Seen it quite a few years ago now, but its all 100% right.

    It is OK to be offended.

    As someone who wouldn't listen to his show, but had the misfortune to turn over to him today in the car, I was wondering if he ever discussed the backlash against him?

    Or did he just let it go unmentioned, like the way D'arcy, Turbidy, Joe and Marion let the RTE wages' announcements go unmentioned?

    Didn't come across anything, but when your sister is a social influencer I'm sure she gave him some tips on how to hide under the kitchen table until you fall of the #trending.

    He should at least have had the b@lls to acknowledge that the vast majority of people didn't agree with him.
    He's still allowed to hold whatever views he wants, but he should not have just ignored it on this radio show.

    If you're big enough to start demanding something, be big enough to know when the public doesn't agree with you.

    A ******, in the meaning of "bundle", is an archaic English unit applied to bundles of certain items. Alternate spellings in Early Modern English include fagate, faget, fagett, ******t, fagot, fagatt, fagott, ffagott, and faggat.[1]

    What a load of ****e.

    I cringe when the whip is cracked on 'Sleigh Ride' Love listening to the 'clip clop' bit though. Ronan plays it every year.

    For the first year since that damned song became an earworm, I've managed to get through the entire festive season without hearing it.
    Sometimes this involved fancy footwork, like punting the radio out of the window, or simply walking away quickly if it wasn't mine, as others take exception to me crushing and stamping on their possessions.

    I've just been listening back to a podcast from Dave Fanning's show - it's an interview with his former producer Ian Wilson who is retiring. He started out booking bands when he was in Trinity College (The Clash, The Buzzcocks and The Chieftains got mentioned during the interview) and in time went on to 2FM. He came up with the idea of recording live sessions with up and coming bands because there was a studio lying empty in RTE. The first band they brought in was U2 because he wanted to see how a noisy rock band would fare out in there. Over the years all sorts of acts got a chance to do a session and some went on to better things. Later on he developed the dance music side of things on 2FM and ruffled feathers/made connections in the European Broadcasting Union.

    Listening to him talk, I realised that this man of retirement age still has far more fire in his belly, more passion about new music and a belief that settling for banality is wrong than people half his age. Now we get clowns with fancy hair who get offended by a 30 year old song sung by fictional characters

    If Eoghan McDermott was sat next to me on a train, I'd move seats; rather than listen to this obnoxious trendy lecturing me on the latest social justice movement. He is only slightly less irritating than his sister (ya know, yer one from Dublin with a Manhattan accent). I've thought of a great new punishment for the dregs in Mountjoy: Make them visit the McDermott household for Christmas. A week there should be enough to turn them away from a life of crime.
