Dermot O’Leary played ‘Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now’ and now has ‘Stop You’re Messing Around’. Great Saturday morning listening on BBC Radio 2.
‘Paint it Black’ on now
Yer man Baz Ashwamy stood on for Tubbers yesterday.
Baz could surely manage to tell the expectant nation about what film he watched yesterday , give a summary of the papers , play a few songs & a wee handy chat with some RTE “star “
I’d say Baz is a grand fella
He stood in for Tubs during the summer as well, he’s not very good at radio but has an innocence that you’d root for
Baz is grand
Baz is the simpletons simpleton. Harmless
Never was much of a fan of Baz until he did home improvement show for families in need. He comes across brilliantly in that.
Not much competition in fairness
Bowman’s show on Sunday morning is often absolutely brilliant
The South Wind blows is a nice show alright but who’s listening at that time, Philip has a great voice for radio
Talking History can be good depending on the subject
Mairead Ronan leaving TodayFM after two years. Family reasons. Can’t say I ever really listened to her. That promo around “the chats” sticks in the craw.
She’s surely there longer than two years?
Is she not there forever?
Her own show for 2 years. Was one of D’Arcy’s lackeys for donkey’s years before that.
He was riding the hole off her shur
*allegedly
Rather her than the wife in fairness.
Fergal or Ray? Ray’s punching if so!
Bit of an owl car crash interview on Morning Ireland there. Andrew from the IFA (poultry) was on to talk about Avian flu. Áine Lawlor teed him up and he launched his killer line which was supposed to be “Avian flu is the foot and mouth disease of the poultry sector” but in his excitement came out as “fuh and mouh is the avian … eh eh, fuh and mouh is the eh, avian flu is the ….” And it went downhill from there. Áine helped him along as best she could and had a jolly will we all have a Turkey for Christmas to round up the interview. “Oh God aye, I can guarantee your listeners that they’ll all have a quality assured Irish chicken on Christmas Day”.
Funnily enough he came across as very reassuring once he settled into it.
None of it was really a big deal.
Aine then reminded people not to touch dead birds they might see out and about.
