I don’t think posters here should be throwing stones about eccentric behaviour. Most of us like to line up our shoes and count them.

People outside this forum don’t do that?! Next you’ll tell me people don’t categorise their socks or something CRAZY like that…

Some here will be pleased to know that Dan is on this morning.
Yeah, he is. Unfortunately. He’s just not good at this.

Joe O’Brien will be presenting mornings - Melissa Mackay will be doing Joe’s evening shift.
Also after filling in for Dan for sometime now, Ruby Cornish will be permanently taking over the weekend daytime bulletins.

she’s read plenty of bulletins before?

Yes. Maybe not as much as Kath but she still does a great (and no offense to Dan, but better) job.

Yes, Ruby has had plenty of practice this year in Dan’s phantom weekend slots, in fact 14 weekends worth so far … according to my eccentric tally! Ruby is fine … she is very articulate and intelligent and has a good screen presence, and the ABC needs to blood a few more younger women (and men!), particularly on the NC. I think she is better than Gemma who tends to get flustered if something goes wrong.
The weekend slot is a safe place to develop new talent as it is not continuous like the 3 or 4 hour weekday sessions. It just involves providing half-hour bulletins at the beginning of each hour, but it is monotonous and long … 11am - 5pm. And it is not the sort of gig most presenters with children would want … giving up your whole weekend!
If a crisis occurs, then the ABC will wheel in the big guns …with the Trump shooting on 14/7, Kath and John Barron were brought in to deal with the aftermath on the Sunday after Ruby had presented on the Saturday.
