RIP Terry Wogan

Flippin' eck - 2016 is turning into a bloodbath of people of people I didn't want to see gone for ages.

The legend that was Terry Wogan has passed away.

If there was anyone who made presenting look the easiest thing it the world it was him.

My thoughts go out to his family.

 

2016 - the year that just keeps on taking.

R.I.P Wogan.

 

Well bugger...there's an end to a great presenter of many fine hours in front of the box.

May he rest in peace.

 

Is it bad my first thought was not another one?

RIP. Eurovision and Children in Need just won't be the same.

 

I grew up watching him, but I think half the country could say the same. And newsthump seem to have nailed it: Terry Wogan to interview Bowie, Lemmy and Alan Rickman

He's going to be missed.

(It is oddly ironic that the memorial post for Terry Wogan, a man whose last words to his friend, a priest trying to comfort him, were "Everything's going to be alright" is in the Dive while the one for David Bowie, who courted controversy his whole life, is under Everything Else.)

 

I think it's because while Bowie had a large impact on some sections of culture, he was in and out of the public eye over several years.

Wogan was a mainstay, there for last 40-50 years in the public eye in one part or another. Definitely a stronger depth of feeling for him.

 

I'm getting tired of turning on the news only to see someone else has died. Thoughts to their families, but 2016 is not a good year.
