    Of course there is hatred, the guy is stealing a living off the licence payers. I was that guy once in a great paying job, but after a few months I knew I couldn't cut the mustard, and without embarrassing myself or letting the team down I knew my place to move on. Mr Darcy knows he is bulletproof so he just going through the motions and picking up his check for doing a really **** job.
    He should be put to a night time shift, and give Derek Mooney his proper slot

    Was the job similar to his job or totally unrelated? You have good principles to step aside if you didn't think you were doing a good job. D'arcy has no such morales

    Heard the last few minutes of Friday's show. Ray was nearly wetting himself laughing because he realised that a guest in studio had a surname of Smallhorn. Yes, very mature Ray. How old are you - 12?? FFS

    Listened to some of earlier part of Friday's show. Dr Eva Orsmond was the guest. Not a huge fan of hers but she had a reasonably interesting life story to tell by comparison to most. She was talking about finding out, as an adult, that she had an older half-sister in Sweden, where her father had lived before moving to Finland.

    She was describing how her half-sister tracked the family down using the father's surname and a website. Immediately Ray interrupted to Tell her i.e. mansplain how the sister would have traced them, all about Ancestry websites and DNA checking and if they find a match so on. Unbelievably rude and presumptous, telling a guest he knew more about their life story than they did themselves. Turns out it had nothing to so with DNA testing at all and Eva wasn't long setting him right.

    What a clown he is.

    Obviously, kids in the UK didn't have any eco-anxiety during the blitz. You could come up from the underground and the street had vaporised. My mum was terrified of an air raid siren till the day she passed away

    Since he moved to RTE he has really become pompous. One of the things I liked about him on the Den and the early years on today fm is he seemed fairly down to earth but he has changed enormously. Due to Jenny and money or a combination of both.

    Could you not at least wake the guest up first before you put them to sleep, Ray?

    I find it really hard to listen to Ray anymore, he’s getting worse - and those annoying habits he has of repeating lines and emphasizing certain words eg when introducing someone like Conor POPE (nearly shouting his surname). Just makes him sound so unprofessional and forced - same on his tv show.

    Nobody voted for you, Ben. Just tell a joke or get the f**k out of the studio.

    Ben Elton is Jewish. :D:D:D:D:pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:

    I mean of course he is. An atheist Jew, aren't they all.

    Must say i got a chuckle out of that interview,

    Ray imagines homosexual priests abusing kids when he hears the Angela's.....but that's A-OK to pronounce on national radio.

    Be careful there Leonard, I criticised his introduction of a Westlife dude a while back, nearly going berserk over some non entity over the hill individual,and some geezer tried to fillet me for saying more or less what you are saying.

    Just a heads up pal........

    From the ploughing we have KT plugging Op Trans and DG plugging Bannons show. This morning Tubbs had Karl Henry plugging Op Trans as well. I turned over before I go to find out what Marty Morrissey was plugging.

    From what I can see, they're sending all their talent down at great expense to plug upcoming shows.
