Declan Curry

Declan Curry

Ex STOIC man Declan Curry, now BBC Morning news reporter, was mentioned in the popular press last Saturday (Guardian 22 Oct 2005) for refusing to left others use his scooter.

The story says “As if whizzing around the BBC newsroom on a Segway electronic scooter were not annoying enough for his colleagues, we are disappointed to learn that breakfast business reporter Declan Curry was yesterday refusing to let others have a go on his new toy. Looking like a Northern Irish Bob the Builder in his safety helmet, Declan instructed colleagues they were not permitted to ride the scooter becuase they had not been on the appropriate training course. A very poor show you will agree. Declan, (imagine us bending down to your height) if you don’t share your toys on Monday you’ll have to be put on the naughty step. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.” pSTOIC’s advice to Declan: Rules and Regs are for DHB’s. Bodge on and chuck away the silly hat.
