    4.04 and the interview is still going. I know it's pre-recrded. All the more reason to edit it down a bit or start it a few mins earlier. It's nothing groundbreaking. Just promoting a show in the Bord Gais theatre.

    Then we get the "It's almost 4.00" jingle and ads.

    Beat me to it

    I'd laugh if Ray finished at 4.00 some day and the Nuacht guy hadn't bothered his hole coming in till 4.04

    There was some chef coming in to talk about desserts for the Christmas dinner,Ray asks his listeners to text in any queries they might like to ask her, Does our Ray ask the chef any of the questions the listeners might have? He does in his h*le,but we are told where he is going for christmas dinner and what he is bringing with him!

    Folks

    Bear in mind each day you listen to Ray, it was just announced today that his wages for 2016 were €450,000.

    That's over €8600 each and every week.

    And he'd be quick to tell us how expensive the canteen is or what's a crazy spend of money.

    Strange interview.

    She admitted to burying her head in the sand and ignoring letters from the bank, then David says she did everything right and didn't ignore anything!!

    Both totally unchallenged by Ray obviously.

    Yeah its awful personal circumstances they are under but at one stage she said they went to dubai and then to Australia to try make money but how much did they spend moving such a young family all over the world,needless to say the hard questions were not asked

    Wasn’t listening P but this is par for the course in these situations.

    The question needs to be asked as to WHOY people like this actually ARRIVE in these situations.


    Lot of questions that need to be answered here.... and not asked.

    But it wouldn’t surprise me that a lad being paid €450k wouldn’t have the intelligence to ask them.

    Par for the course.

    Only heard a little bit of the interview with the woman whose kid has terminal cancer, and I wonder how guys who earn €500k for doing very little in terms of work feel when they hear such sad stories about people struggling financially?

    Very tough listening, then D’arcy gets texts in and someone says they’ll chuck a €100 in a month for twelve months of 11 others can...deafening silince as he was reading he realised what he could be liable for, tighter than a ducks hole.

    Can’t say I’d hold that against him, RTÉ would become a begging bowl if that got out of hand.

    In fairness to him we don’t know what he does privately in that regard.

    Ray’s Recipes for Christmas:

    Roast Turkey stuffed with Porridge

    Get a big fat turkey with an enormous cavity and fill it with provide ehich has been let dry out a bit. Should bear some semblance to regular bread stuffin, but far more wholesome. To be consumed with non-alcoholic wine.

    Ray is right on board the Christian festival this year isn't he. This is the same man that said last month that he couldn't listen to the Angelus bells without thinking about child abuse. I guess it's better for his career to be in favour of Christmas.

    Yep, no airs & graces there. I'm sure though he gets a few bob for his work in Mountjoy and probably good value for it.

    there's an unfunny irish comedian thread, she's topped the poll. also a serious amount of hate on the thread for her, which i feel is totally justified.

    Wearing stupid colourful attire or acting like a gombeen doesn't make you quirky.

    She not quirky or unconventional or zany, personality wise, like she tries to pretend she is. She is just an unfunny simpleton.

    Why is it out of order,I know they are in a terrible personal situation but the woman herself said they buried their head in the sand before re the mortgage and ignored it,they were in trouble before the boy got sick so their problems stemmed from there,she is a qualified teacher so she should be on a good wage

    To imply they would fundraise for the wellbeing of a family member and divert those funds is uncalled for. Your a bit too judge and jury. Bit of compassion would do you no harm.
