    You've done your country a great service there Butters.

    There are a couple of articles online that state that Tubridy was set to take 6 weeks off because he had been on a "bonkers run" since September (in other words, 9 months 'work' warrants 6 weeks holidays)

    But Callan definitely said this morning that Toyman was due back next week. A change of plan, it would seem.

    Nice of him just to take the 3 weeks all the same. He should treat himself to a nice mid-term break in October to make up for it.

    Tubs has already had a few weeks off before and during COVID - quite a feat in itself if you think about it, before this latest break.

    "it's been a bonkers run since September"...

    Neck like a jockey's bollix coming out with that stuff. And if that's not enough insincere, verbal scutter, here's another one:

    "I'm leaving to recharge and regenerate and to reflect and to get my head together. Because when we come back for radio and television duties I think we're going to have a big job on our hands when we get back for all sorts of reasons"

    Imagine if these deluded twits had to work a 40+ hour week (plus another 10+ commuting) with 20-25 days off for a fraction of the remuneration like the rest of us?

    Well, maybe they pay for it in other ways. Few of us would tolerate being described as "deluded twits" on an internet forum, as part of our job description.

    Not aiming this remark at you, but it would serve us well to remember there is a real/ ordinary person at the other end of our criticism. We can robustly disagree with someone without making them an object of ridicule.

    You should have got a job in radio, dude. Even though I’m not sure impotent rage and mindless criticism would be a solid cornerstone for a mid-morning light entertainment and lifestyle show.

    If I was working a few hours a week, being ridiculously overpaid for same, and enjoying many ancillary benefits of a post gifted to me I’d like to think I’d have enough cop on not to be moaning publicly about how tired I am and in need of a break when some people are working more hours in a week than I manage in a month for a fraction of what I earn, not least front line workers in a pandemic. For that reason I think the term “deluded twits” is appropriate, if only for the purpose that one of the many people in RTE to whom it applies might reflect a little before coming out with such nonsense. I actually think deluded twits is rather polite compared to what most would call them.

    Would you prefer “detached”?

    And I’m sorry but people like Mr. Duffy and Tubs invite ridicule with their behaviour; case in point Mr. Duffy tactlessly and shamelessly promoting his death buke again today online beneath his tribute text to John Hume.

    Not sure the radio is the best form of media for some people to be consuming. Most be exhausting to be that angry so early in the day....

    Why do you think I’m angry? I’m absolutely not. I’ll also decide for myself which media I choose to consume if that’s ok, “dude”?

    I'm deliberately not going to mod this discussion as I've given a clearly partial opinion, but nobody deserves ridicule or humiliation. It is possible to *robustly* disagree with, or criticise, a person without resorting to personally demeaning behaviour that (frankly) runs pretty close to bullying.

    There’s thousands of radio shows and 000’s of podcasts one could listen to, but people choose to listen to shows they despise, hosted by people they loathe just so they can give out about them.

    Seems weird is all. Like I’d rather get a 5-finger prostate exam than watch Piers Morgan, so I don’t watch him or follow him on Twitter.

    You know it’s within the forum rules that criticism is as welcome as praise, right?

    And despite what you might think, I don’t listen solely to criticise.

    I listen to an awful lot of American podcasts btw, particularly sports and culture themed, but the occasional political one too.

    And that’s exactly why I gave up listening to Ryan. But there’s no way I am going to give up reading, and occasionally commentating on, this thread. :D.

    Call it a form of therapy, if you will.

    I really like Ryan.

    I listen to him when he’s on - I enjoy the show.

    He seems like a decent person , and I believe he did some valuable public service at the start of the pandemic on the late late show.

    If I didn’t like him I wouldn’t listen to him or watch the late late .

    And I certainly wouldn’t listen just so I can come on a message board and give out about it .
    What’s the saying about anger and someone living in your head rent free ?

    I couldn’t imagine he gives a flying moped what any of you think .... but feel free to vent here .••

    Hope you feel better

    Decent item on Peter Sellers, a bit miffed though that the guy dismissed The Pink Panther films so quickly - ‘A Shot In The Dark’ is superb, from start to finish :)

    Oh I must listen back, I love Sellers. Thanks for the heads up WM. I much prefer Callan to Tubs, just haven't had a chance to listen this week.

    To be fair to Bryan, he said he'd be back in mid August when he left, I heard it myself.

    Think he even gave the date. I posted about it at the time, commenting it was 3 weeks or so of a break.

    MOD - seeing that I am in the seat of moderation of this discussion I am not happy with the personal abuse of posters I see here. I have not been as active on the threads recently for personal reasons but I am not allowing a situation I now see In front of me.

    ''I couldn’t imagine he gives a flying moped what any of you think .... but feel free to vent here.''

    That's the thing. He does. Very, very much. Being liked and getting away with it day by day is his modus operandi. He needs to be liked. He hates 'mean' people who 'bully' him off twitter etc. Introspection and scrutiny are pretty basic for anyone in his shoes. Not for him though.

    Spouting vague inanities about this, that and t'other should be enough for the great unwashed to be happy, but alas for Ryan, irritating 'messers' can see through his anaemic piffle and pithy pointlessness. I'm vapid, rich and entitled and you should respect me, doesn't wash anymore.

    People here, and with anywhere else, are allowed express disquiet and disgust at his inordinate wage for his disproportion lack of talent and dim perspectives, just as you allowed express that you like Ryan. Each to their own.

    Caught the end of the Tubridy show this morning ... what was all that about?? He had someone on talking about meeting Peter Sellers and being on the LLS with him. He shut him down several times, didn't let him finish a sentence ... I was cringing listening to it. Awful interview. Switched over to Marty In The Morning!!:)

    In July? He mentions it almost daily, certainly weekly, all year round.
