Re: Terry Wogan RIP
That's really sad news. He was a true entertainer, and his 'Wake up to Wogan' shows could put you in a good mood for the rest of the day. Reading the news report it appears that his cancer was a particulalry nasty one, and he didn't suffer for too long (which is a blessing for all concerned).

Re: Terry Wogan RIP
Sad news indeed I've been watching a series on BBC 2 "Terry And Mason’s Great Food Trip" where he travels around Britain with cabbie Mason McQueen which was very entertaining - well worth the watch.
Will certainly be missed... R.I.P. Sir Terry

Very sad news. An Irishman who spent most of his life in the UK. RIP Terry Wogan

Re: Terry Wogan RIP
In Norway he is famous for making fun of Norway whenever Norway scored Zero Points in the European Song Contest, but we loved him for it.

Re: Terry Wogan RIP
He was the first one to take the pI&& out of the Eurovision Song Contest. He was very right to do so and his successors have done the same. A very entertaining guy and everybody can relate to him. A sad loss.
Re: Terry Wogan RIP
Take a look on youtube at the Janet and John stories from his Wake up with Wogan shows.........priceless R.I.P Sir Terry

Re: Terry Wogan RIP
This for me sums it up.......
[EDIT] For those non-UK members, Sir Terry was a huge part of the "Children in Need" charity for 30 odd years - the bear was an emblem..... Sad, sad days.

He couldn`t knock out a tune (Floral dance?) he didn`t tell jokes, but he kept a radio audience entertained for a couple of hours just by his chat.

Re: Terry Wogan RIP
If you think all he did was "kept a radio audience entertained for a couple of hours".... you're very sadly mistaken. The man was a legend - he kept me entertained for years!!arcadianagain wrote:He couldn`t knock out a tune (Floral dance?) he didn`t tell jokes, but he kept a radio audience entertained for a couple of hours just by his chat.

A little pedantic there Pharvey. Perhaps I should have said "he kept radio audience entertained for a couple of hours for many years" I thought he was a one-off character.pharvey wrote:If you think all he did was "kept a radio audience entertained for a couple of hours".... you're very sadly mistaken.

Indeed it was and I apologise there arcadianagain - one or two too many after-work beverages.... But as did Sir Terry, I enjoy a vodka or two!!arcadianagain wrote:A little pedantic there Pharvey.

And, as you say he certainly was a one-off character!! Here in the UK, the news has been all about him with tributes flooding in.

Re: Terry Wogan RIP
I liked him despite my daughter wishing he was her father when she was about six years old.
