Apples and oranges there. Pat did a 2 hour current affairs Newsweek programme. He was on air the whole time and had to be across every detail. He was superb at news/politics etc although was quite anti public service and hated fat people and his neighbours. He was poor enough at sports too. Tubridy is good at books. Talking about reading books. And fawning over people he likes.
Hes shit at everything else. Id say kenny was much better value for his 750g than tubs was for 450g.

I loved that time Kenny was shooting the breeze with Dessie Cahill about an upcoming rugby match and he reads out a text from a listener. “Gavin Henson is very religious. He goes into Church before every game”. Dessie nearly spat out his tea. Henson was going out with Charlotte Church at the time.

“tubs was for 450g.”

[Fagan_ODowd]

Dessies reaction to that was fucking brilliant. It was like he felt he was going to be sacked or something initally before the gurning laugh kicked in

They should have given Kenny a million quid to keep tubridy off our screens

I’d agree with most of that. However a 950k salary in 2009 for a moderately talented presenter like Pat in a country that was actually bankrupt is obscene.

I know you’re a chap, but Tubridy was on our screens before your arse was dried up.

Reads like something Alan Partridge wrote after the BBC binned him. Fuck off Gareth, you nobody

[glasagusban]

Imagine where we would have been if Pat hadn’t been there to hold the government to account, decry PC nonsense gone mad and make off the cuff policy recommendations because he’s smarter than everyone else.

He said he and his colleagues have one thing subscription services don’t — soul. Perhaps he needs to examine the meaning of the word ‘soul’.

ouch

@Locke

When you have a researcher putting in up to 10 hours a day (and often many hours of what should be their rest time across weekends) in order to meet deadlines, on a take-home wage of less that €400 a week, working for a presenter who earns 20 times that amount — a star who presents a one-hour radio show, half of which is just observations and jaunty waffle, that’s not a wonderful place to work.

If a researcher is working 50 or 60 hour weeks and the end result is “observations and jaunty waffle” then the researcher is either exaggerating their hours or not very good at their job, I’d suggest.
