Noine thurty foive on Orr-Tee-Eee Wan.

There’s a continuity presenter in Orr – Tee – Eee that really really gets up my goat. Yep, you know the one. Most major things on RTE One are at 9.35. For some reason, RTE have given the job of announcing these things to Ross O’Carroll Kelly’s little sister. Her perky shiny-happy-people south county Dublin voiceover smugly slots into most voiceovers we hear these days on the national broadcaster. Does anyone else out there in TV-land hear how annoying, how patronising, how thoroughly smug that faux cheer is? She peaks with the way she says ‘thurty-foive ‘and I for one and coming close to putting a boot through the box. Come on RTE, it's bad enough you regard Miriam O’Callaghan and Sean O’Rourke as the big guns of your A Team, but I for one have had enough of this Private Benjamin. Give us all a break, mix it up and if a show is on at 9.35, there’s no need to say it like you’ve just bought a new gúna and are showing it to the girls during a sleep over. Gen-uine-ly.
