QuoteI beg to differ.

I'd like to shake the hand of the person who came up with the 'Daft Dave' concept ...
...because that'll put them off guard before I bury an axe in the cupid stunts skull.
If my doctor told me I'd @rse cancer that they'd worked out an operating procedure for that involved no more equipment than a common garden hedge shears I think I'd think it funnier and less painful.

Resign, now!
There must be big money in tiles, the feckin ads are constantly on the radio and print media.
Remember how we all hate Harvey Norman?
Well I think they tried to be ironic in a previous ad by having an incredibly annoying Dublin accent, telling how annoying Harvey Norman was.
I think we should set Daft Dave and his liquidiser on Harvey in a sort of Commercial Deathmatch type thing.
Have Boot Disk, will travel
Anyone care to enlighten me?
Its an irritating radio ad. "Where's my monkey?"
"Where's my monkey?" Great stuff!!!
Sitting pretty!!!
You lucky, lucky man. You'll hardly stay lucky though. But stay away from radio a bit longer and you might prolong your good fortune.Originally Posted by dahamsta
Remember "Upwardly Mobile"? Recall the way there was something quite distressing about it that might make one call into question the state of the society that spawned and fed it -such was it's desperation?
Well that level of distress is back ...in Daft Dave form.
Monkey jokes? Roller skate Jokes? JEEEEzoz fcukin Christ whats wrong with us?

He still goes to Dublin City games.
I try and avoid radio wherever possible. Have CDs in the car and a tape only walkman if I'm walking. Radio advertising is generally painful - only marginally more so than radio DJs, actually - and from this thread, it sounds like I'm making the right choice...
Daft dave is a lege
Who is this guy, Trapper Tony?
It may be annoying but it is having the desired effect.Kind of reminds me of the Ronseal ads.Radio adds seem be using increasingly annoying vocals ,due to the fact they lack the visual effect of television adverts etc.Doesnt excuse Daft Dave though.What a p*ick!
What's a lege?
I'm guessing it's term used by uninspired advertising firms for a sub-christmas cracker funny catch phrase bumble tit.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
Well beyond people raising their tragic advert campaign I'd guess the desired effect is to get people buying tiles. Well I've finished the last tiling job I'm ever doing ages ago so tough titty on 'em. I don't care how much their turkish traber-whatevertofeck costs -not buying it -and not off them even if it was the last of it on earth.

Don't generally like the radio tbh, no control and there's generally only crud on anyway. I'd listen to Gerry Ryan if nothing else was available, but that's a whole other flame war...

true. ...I'd say Gerry'd like Daft Dave. Though I've nothing to base that on.Don't generally like the radio tbh, no control and there's generally only crud on anyway. I'd listen to Gerry Ryan if nothing else was available, but that's a whole other flame war...

For my sins I listen to Matt Cooper and Today FM seem to be very encouraging of yellow pack ads based on non-funny humour jingoistic toss-pottery. As I think of it ...I think I just realised who the man behind Daft Dave is.
Now if I ever catch up with Daft Dave I'm going to put three or four more men behind him ...all of them multi-chinnned, heavy breathing and surprisingly well hung Fine Gael county councillors.

I see ads for NewsTalk down here now, when did it go national? Is it any good?
Few weeks ago.
Not really!
Some programmes on it sound like 3 guys reading Internet forums and arguing about what they read.

Why did they take McWilliams off the air - really liked him
I didn't know it was owned by the Star.
Thanks Peadar.
That’s only the sports coverage, the news/current affairs coverage on newstalk is excellent. In fact if they got rid of Ken Earley from the football bits they'd be 100% better. Moncrieff is good.
As for Gerry Ryan...
