    Mary Kennedy. She's been on RTE more often since retiring than she was before.

    You leave Mary alone, she’s lovely (IMO)

    Agree with the above. Too much of a lady to pick up on Ray's astonishment that she hasnt done full interview type programmes before ....I remember her having an hour long chat and mysic show with a guest on Saturday mornings before Marian F took that slot

    He said he felt like an impostor yesterday morning in a room full of writers.
    I imagine he'd feel the same if he found himself in a room full of professional broadcasters.

    God help the poor man on today, but another story to cheer up the nation on a bleak afternoon during a very bleak week.

    I don't listen to this show at all, but turned on whilst out doing some garage cleaning, and the 1st thing I heard was brain cancer. My immediate thought was 'typical Darcy '.

    Having said that, the guy was good to listen to. A real inspiration after what he has been through.

    But again rte, why so many negative and sad news? Surely there must be more light hearted news out there somewhere?

    I appreciate these pieces are important to highlight and make us aware of, but not all the time. Maybe try and mix it up a bit?

    Enough American politics for one day Kate


  • Registered Users Posts: 25,420 ✭✭✭✭sligojoek


    Loads of people texting KT about Donal Skeehan's show.

    Yeah right.

    Books. That's Tubridy territory.

    Murder is "perfect for this time of the year."


  • Registered Users Posts: 394 ✭✭boarddotie


    Speaking about the book she is reading saying it is full of murder so perfect for this time of year.
    Feck sake.
    Joe Duffy also made a stupid remark about their being no guns in Ireland.
    Do these people not listen to the news on the hour?

    Close Call Kathryn as usual.

    Sadly, her mother’s bins didn’t make it, and will have to wait until next week to be collected.

    Ray belittling himself here by watching a bit of TV.


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,722 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    Exactly Ray, stupid enough to pay €17.99 for a rented movie...


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,929 ✭✭✭Mena Mitty


    Did I just hear him say the 13th century is the 14 hundreds ?? What skool did he go to.


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,722 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK

    Just saw the ad for the new den. No words.


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,034 ✭✭✭✭Brendan Bendar


    Huge plug for auld TurnipHeads book on place names yesterday.

    When will it be Brian Lally’s turn for a book, one wonders.


    Or Samantha Libreri...... ‘Nooze for you’ would be a good title.


  • Registered Users Posts: 25,420 ✭✭✭✭sligojoek


    Par for the course this time of year, Ben.

    The first four guests on the Late Late last night were flogging books too. The fifth was flogging an RTE show.


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,722 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    But did Ray sign the book?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,775 ✭✭✭bmorrissey


    Maybe it because im wearing headphones today, but i can really hear the waves breaking in Rays mouth...i dont like it :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,739 ✭✭✭Pelvis Parsley

    I noticed he was saying 'ye' today instead of 'you' like Brendan O'Connor.

    I thought he was from Kildare.
