    Fine accent too - he's come a long way from his 'peasant' origins but he was quite civil there compared to his ranting with Yates.

    didn't hear him on yesterday, but have unfortunately encountered him on Sky News etc, and seen some articles linked online.
    a truly odious individual with a strange resentment of Ireland.

    He seems to be quite alt.right/Breitbart-y too, constantly crying about "the liberal left", so I'm sure some of the regular whingers on the newstalk threads on here will absolutely love him.

    I heard it and initially he was okay when he was just calling the Royals hypocrites, but soon jumped the shark when he said they were Nazi's. Said the Queen Mother dressed the Queen up as a Nazi when she was young :eek:

    Complete nutter but made for entertaining radio

    It's amazing how Brexit combined with social media (presence and sharing of short video clips) have really exposed the personalities behind many politicians and commentators in a way we didn't really see before.

    One of the most painful commentators whether on Brexit or Climate change.

    Topic wasn't helped by Cara Augustenberg phoning in with a tin can and piece of cord. Not sure she heard his full diatribe about Greta and so she didn't counter it as I felt should have been done.

    He should have been pulled on the point that Greta herself is not screaming for people to listen to her, she wants people to act on scientists advice.

    Caught 5 mins of it it the car.

    Don't know who that silly troll was, but glad I feel vindicated in my decision to stop listening to Ivan's show months ago.

    If it was to show him the door, I would throw in a euro or two.

    Great, tonight's programme proving that Tiger madness is back in some parts of the country, promoting trips to Lapland €3k+ and once in a lifetime chance to visit Santa's workshop. It sure is as at the rate of global warming there soon won't be any snow up there. How did we manage back in the day when a visit to Santa was usually a trip to Woolworths. :rolleyes:

    While I have no desire to go to Santa's cave in Ireland or in Lapland (yes I'm a miserable parent) why is that such an issue. People will be spending multiples of that for one person to watch something that will be on TV anyway and nobody is whinging about that. I haven't heard complaints when Euro was on either.

    I felt a bit sorry for him especially when he was made do all those ridiculous challenges, he's like Newstalk's dancing bear.

    Yates was place-naming just before 5pm and pronounced F***Et incorrectly - Phuket, Thailand
    then, I switched to Radio1 and
    They played Joan Collins TD's f-bomb in full

    My freakin ears!

    Also the Joan Collins TD f-bomb was played on RTE's Late Debate
    and
    Andrea Gilligan on NT Breakfast referred to the rental market in Dublin as a "Shítstorm"
    :eek:

    Sure, but the same coterie will be ‘ marching’ for increases in.......well ..every entitlement they have, and a few they haven’t ...yet.

    I’m sure no one will ask them when they are rocking up to the hatch of a Tuesday....”What about the 5 k you spent on de Lapland trip dere before de Chrissamas”

    Nah.... won’t happen.

    Ivan makes so many stupid simple mistakes that I don't know how he can justify the salary the phoenix thinks he's on.

    just now, with regard to the cervical cancer screening issue, he said that scientologists should be overseeing the check.

    Bobby Kerr is going to need surgery to remove his tongue from the arses of various EY (Ernst and Young) people in the appalling segments on the show tonight. Ernst and Young, the people who brought you "we didn't notice anything wrong with Seanie Fitzpatrick and Anglo" and "our female employees should keep quiet and concentrate on their appearance".


    EY sponsors of the Entrepreneur of the Year Awards https://www.ey.com/en_ie/entrepreneur-of-the-year - only in Ireland or perhaps not. :rolleyes:

    I often have a chuckle at Ivan and Tom Dunne. They seem to get on very well and the music section on Thursday is actually good. I would never have put the two of them together beforehand but I like it.

    Did anyone just hear James in Wicklow talking?
    Henry McKean voxpop on Valerie Cox candidate
    He made so much sense and he is currently homeless

    Heard that, he seemed like a really interesting guy.

    Homeless for 5 years and living in a tent, it’s a tragedy.

    He needs more airtime, place on a radio panel or such.
    He is confident, articulate, and has a unique viewpoint that needs to be heard. Sounds like he could shoot down any argument that an FGer has

    That would be my fear, I don’t think he would give the other side a chance to reply. Don’t think a panel environment would suit him
