lcfcadam Posted 18 December 2009 Posted 18 December 2009 Just watched his final breakfast farewell on the BBC News site and realised how much I'll miss the guy come Monday morning. Despite slagging him off on numerous occasions, I can't help but feel a pang of regret when I realise it won't be his voice greeting my inevitable weekend hangover come 7.30 (edit, on Monday). God bless you, Sir Terry.
Nick Posted 18 December 2009 Posted 18 December 2009 I miss him on Eurovision. I'll miss his natural, 'on display' trouser wear : http://manolomen.com/images/Terry%20Wogans%20trousers.jpg
Daggers Posted 18 December 2009 Posted 18 December 2009 Has anyone noticed how 'Terry Wogan' is an anagram of 'Insipid Twat'?
Nick Posted 18 December 2009 Posted 18 December 2009 Has anyone noticed how 'Terry Wogan' is an anagram of 'Insipid Twat'? Interesting. And harsh. I like it.
Daggers Posted 18 December 2009 Posted 18 December 2009 Interesting.And harsh. I like it. I like morphine - send me some
Nick Posted 18 December 2009 Posted 18 December 2009 I like morphine - send me some ....... If there's any left by the time I am pain free I'll consider it. Though I am more likely to use it for recreational purposes. I find it takes the edge of difficult and stressful events. Like shopping for groceries.
Zingari Posted 19 December 2009 Posted 19 December 2009 Interesting why he chose to call his listeners TOGs ( for Terry's Old Geezers ) , when normally he always referred to himself not as "Terry" but "Wogan" , is there any reason for this anomoly ? I quite enjoyed his type of gentle humour and familiarity with the audience , especially when driving Will miss him .
NewquayFox Posted 19 December 2009 Posted 19 December 2009 I will miss his witty banter in the mornings, and the `Janet & John` stories. My Uncle Sean Og in Ireland is still the longest serving radio broadcaster in the world, he still does the Gaelic football and hurling results on a Sunday and still going strong after broadcasting for 53 years, he is 84 now.

lou Posted 19 December 2009 Posted 19 December 2009 One quick look at this thread to identify the "old farts" of the forum! Even I didnt listen to Terry Wogan!
z-layrex Posted 19 December 2009 Posted 19 December 2009 I dont listen to R2 im a bit young for it, but the dentists will never be the same again! Enjoy your retirement Terry.
Zingari Posted 22 December 2009 Posted 22 December 2009 I don't know how he got away with it at that time of the day.. I'll certainly miss him. Too true Gotta be his Oirish charm , he really did get away with saying some stuff that no other radio personality would have . One instance that sticks in my mind was during the Cheltenham Gold Cup racing festival and he said something along the lines of " the place 'll packed with Irish priests spending the money meant for the black babies " I thought i had misheard, and was expecting to hear a load of complaints but it seems to have just been passed over as just the sort of thing that Wogan said or maybe it was just too close to the truth for anyone to kick up a fuss
Guest Posted 22 December 2009 Posted 22 December 2009 ....... If there's any left by the time I am pain free I'll consider it. Though I am more likely to use it for recreational purposes. I find it takes the edge of difficult and stressful events. Like shopping for groceries. Nothing could take the edge off of the stress of grocery shopping.
Tabou Posted 22 December 2009 Posted 22 December 2009 Nothing could take the edge off of the stress of grocery shopping. I am no longer allowed to do this. I would happily stab my way to the checkouts past all of the idle ****ers using my clubcard.
haraven Posted 22 December 2009 Posted 22 December 2009 I've never heard of the dude. Is he as famous as Gary Lineker?
lavrentis Posted 22 December 2009 Posted 22 December 2009 I'm sure he got paid for doing Children in Need once?
Guest Posted 23 December 2009 Posted 23 December 2009 I am no longer allowed to do this. I would happily stab my way to the checkouts past all of the idle ****ers using my clubcard. I have managed to avoid going grocery shopping this week, I would probably kill if I went to the supermarket this close to Christmas.
Flynny Posted 23 December 2009 Posted 23 December 2009 One instance that sticks in my mind was during the Cheltenham Gold Cup racing festival and he said something along the lines of " the place 'll packed with Irish priests spending the money meant for the black babies " ! Amazing! Bloke's great, I can't watch Eurovision with Norton, he's too knowing and camp, the thing with Wogan was that it jarred against his sensibilities. That and he got tipsy while commentating.
