After 30 years broadcasting on RTE its time to say farewell to an Irish institution. One of Ireland's best loved DJ's. Larry, one of radio's nice guys leaves his daytime slot and moves to the weekend on 2fm. Out of harms way as far as I am concerned.
And I'm not sorry either. I didn't like Larry. No doubting he was a gentleman but for the last 5 years here I think I have had to listen to Larry every single day. He absolutely bored the socks off me.
There was a great e-mail floating about some of the actual answers given on Larry's 'Just a minute quiz'. Here it goes.
