Ray D'arcy on RTE Radio 1 **Mod Warning post 1** 27th Jan Forward

Has D'Arcy some vested interest in Amazon or something? Don't know if anyone else has noticed but for the past two, or even three days he's read out a text along the lines of 'can you tell us the name of that show you recommended on Monday?'. Seems odd to me, either that or he's just reading the same text over and over....

Anyone know what it was called?? :p

Knowing D'Arcy it's probably the same text

That is very possible! As he said himself, on the week off Jenny wouldnt let him tackle any jobs in the house OR the garden! :rolleyes::D

He rails against the church but all he sounds like is an angry priest admonishing his flock from the alter

does he realise that?

Doubt it very much.........very very much

Sweet divine fuhherke............bang

There’s surely more efficient ways of finding a movie title ?

Swim in the sh*t Ray at Ringsend. By way, what's the name of that movie again

good point, as a joyless upper-middle-class busybody he would definitely have gone into the priesthood if he had been born a few decades earlier

I don't know what your definition of "upper middle class" is but there were no silver spoons in the Darcy household.

Fair enough if you don't like the guy but that's no reason to go making things up.

Substitute ‘chancer’ for ‘upper-middle-class busybody‘ and he’s spot on.

He's getting, he gets counselling over job security issues.....and if it all went belly up at the Mother Ship he'd go back to his roots & become a Wedding DJ > https://www.buzz.ie/celebrity/ray-darcy-rte-den-radio-23949431?fbclid=IwAR2_XsR8FegR5c05sxUKpvcmBIEfQ1Q4N-TzCkOm7bddfip2IWu4_8_B31A

Don't worry Ray, there's no hope of RTE giving you the bullet even as, I think, a contractor.

Imagine the comedown though if he did become a Wedding DJ? He'd be morto ha ha! No way could he take it.

Would imagine on his RTE & Today FM salaries over the past 30+ years he's well set up & no need for the job security concerns; his broadcasting network would never let him down & there'd be plenty of PR/Comms firms who'd take him on in some role incl. as an MC etc.

But the chances of that being necessary prior to him reaching retirement age in 12 years time are, I'd imagine, zero.

As James Hillier Blount said to his manager.

The man couldn't stop the notifications on his phone (which remember was only being used cos he couldn't get his laptop working), what are the chances of him being able to run an entire wedding from his phone?

This is how it would go:
Ray: "And now for the first dance. "
*invariably plays the wrong song or an ad break*
Ray: Eh, that's not it why is that not working.
*looks for someone to blame, usually the technology or a colleague*

Can we cut to a break?

nice laugh there

What a pompous little git, I know if I was one of his siblings I'd be pissed off with him bad mouthing his Da.

Ask yourself Ray, maybe your Da wanted to get away from you ya little dork.

Also this is the Da he had on every Shrove Tuesday for his pancake recipe for's long's he's been doing the radio across both stations.......such an odd thing to cut him down now he's passed on.....and yeah, some things can be off-limits & if I was a sibling I'd be absolutely fuming with him.
