The slagging he gets in the sketches on the last work on Today FM are excellent. He strikes me as someone with a very high opinion of himself (but I could be wrong).
Just saw the programme on RTE - Charlie Bird's year in America. It was an interesting programme ..
I was staggered that he wanted to interview Dan Rooney, yet hadn't a clue what the man looked like
I'm not sure if panting staccato-like, awkwardly gesticulating and wincing into the sunlight/flash passes for journalism in this day and age but if so, this latter day Kate Adie just about passes. His OTT stream-of-consciousness/dramatic monologue vignettes can get a trifle boring when repeated. And as another poster remarked, he merely repeats what the newsreader had already said. A waste of time and licence money. Plus, it's no good for his skinI know someone who works with him and describes him as the most professional journalist he has ever worked with. My mate has only ever had positive things to say about Charlie.
slightly off-topic, but every year when the leaving cert results come out, Charlie always gets a mention that he failed/didn't do his leaving cert or something like this.
It sounds like he is making decent money, so good luck to him.
Yes, but imagine how well he might have done if he had got his Leaving!
Maybe he was in the right place at the right time.
Perhaps now someone with no leaving cert would have any hope of getting a job in RTE and making piles of money like Charlie?
