    yeah several grand they can get for those. I believe Claire Byrne was doing a few of them for corporates but told to stop as it was a conflict of interest. I know Bressie was charging 3 grand a pop for his talks on mental health to corporates in the IFSC and Grand Canal Docks, he has been around rakes of them at this stage. As Ricky Gervais would say- 'bunsen burner' = nice litter earner

    Free staycation for Kathryn and Ellie I'd say with a nice top of the range camper van thrown in. When you're made you're made in the montrose soviet


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,415 ✭✭✭generalgerry


    Any truth to the rumour that the next camper van series is where RTE put Ray in to the van and send him looking for a job on a different radio station.

    I didn't see this mentioned on the thread but I assume that you are all aware of this right?
    Ray D'Arcy's replacement has been unveiled this afternoon as he takes an extended break from his hit RTE Radio 1 show.

    No mate, sorry, nothing could be worse that the absolute bolloxology in the last ten mins of today’s ‘show’

    Bullshidt about training which Thomas is trying to break into, I believe.

    Greatest crapology ever, up there with the wrestling shïte, the MMA, these tools calling themselves ‘fighters’.

    Complete fake rubbish, but the drones lap it up.

    How do these coins get away with this crud.

    That helped his own mental health significantly though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,731 ✭✭✭✭Brendan Bendar


    This ‘show’ has gone down the road of bigging up these tools calling themselves ‘personal trainers’ ‘fighters’ and such like .

    Now I know there are genuine practitioners with qualifications and stuff, but this pure bolloxology of coins sitting in front of a tube and saying ‘I could do that’ I could do that’ epitomize the fhuuking stupidity of the audience which they think are listening.

    I mean who other than some stult who is a born loser with no career would do that.

    Is Thomas’s husband really so thick as to be led into bulldust like that.


    Like Wwf. Pure and utter fakery.

    And the grunts lap it up.

    If you are in a tent, Kathryn, my advice would be to GET OUT NOW, not partake in a radio quiz.

    How many people here just turn off the radio when she comes on?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,477 ✭✭✭✭road_high


    Just in case there’s any confusion Eli is not of school going age - in case you missed hearing every detail from Kathryn Thomas the last year or so. Look love you had a child and that’s fantastic but most of us do t want to hear about it every time you’re on radio.
    Her Whattsapp group sounds like fun. Paranoid neurotic mothers talking about school uniforms


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,415 ✭✭✭generalgerry


    You want to know the feeling I have Keith? Deja Vu.


  • Registered Users Posts: 407 ✭✭Carnmore


    Who was she just interviewing.. Someone called Keith?

    I missed the start of the interview, which means this presenter, like every other on RTE, fails to periodically announce “if you’ve just joined us my guest is..“ or at the end of interview say who it was.
    It’s as if they’re having a private conversation.

    Do RTE not have any standards of competency or professionalism their presenters (hospital radio DJs) are obliged to adhere to?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,731 ✭✭✭✭Brendan Bendar

    Nothing personal about her, but the crap she seems interested in is diabolical.

    Some coin decides to run round his local park with a bag of angry cats over his shoulder.......


    Instant celebrity.


    Some doughy lard arse decides he /she is an influencer

    Instant celebrity.

    For Jaysus sake as s Sarah might say.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,162 ✭✭✭jelutong


    I heard the first 5 minutes of today’s show. Utter Tripe.
    The show be renamed “All About Kathryn”.

    God this is dire stuff from Brenda.

    Life tips from Nigella Cokehead Lawson, a segment on how great teenagers are during the pandemic, what series she'd like to see rerun (sex and the city)

    This is pure trash.

    What website can those garden photographs be viewed ?

    Edit: When Ray says during the show he'll pop up photographs on the website, for everyone to see, what website is he talking about, is it Twitter ?

    Apologies if it's been answered earlier in the thread.

    he rambled at the start for a full 18 minutes today and is going to tell us about the wind blowing the trampoline tomorrow, as he didn't want to tell us all his news on his first day back. Thanks Ray I can't wait to hear about wind

    He also starred in a short film called forecourt I'm pretty sure it was called? (more info on it here) https://www.tcd.ie/irishfilm/showfilm.php?fid=57088

    and he went to the news at 3.59 wow

    Did I hear him right in that he got in his two pence worth re Phil Grogan and golfgate - jumping on the bandwagon/trial by the media. Insuinuating him and all his perks and even attempted to put on an accent to go along with it - attempt at ahoiety British accent but failed miserably. This is the overall impression that I came away with unless I was half asleep - which is quiet often the case when he is on. The wife uses it as white noise.
    What came to mind during the Hogan piece was the salary Ray is on for what he does.

    Both of Ray's reading glasses are held together by wire and sellotape. This lad needs a pay rise badly he can bearly get by.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,530 ✭✭✭PieOhMy


    Reading Coogans autobiography at the moment. While preparing for the Alpha Papa movie he did research into radio stations and how soulless they are even seeing charts on walls in various studios with the demographics of listeners for that show/time. So like for afternoon show - born 1980s - topics: do you remember xyz sweets? Do you remember xyz 80s movie? Problems with new technology etc


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,530 ✭✭✭PieOhMy


    Dont believe this is an email from a real listener.
