Terry Wogan

I have just listened to Janet and John on u tube.
Why did I never hear them before?
I nearly choked laughing , could only manage 3.
I will listen to more tomorrow.
Better than any tonic.

Oh yes! I remember Wilma 🙂

When Terry Wogan is mentioned I always think of his very funny made up names and at one time we had a GN member who went by the name Wilma Knickersfit.
That was one of his.

Sarah Kennedy's only 72 - bring her back!!

When I was stuck at traffic lights I could look across at the other cars and all the drivers would be laughing too.

Oh yes, it was funny to notice another driver laughing at the traffic lights and you knew it was at a Woganism!

Yes crazyH it was Sarah Kennedy, thank you! She did those tales sent in by mums about their kids. Very funny. As in:

Child lying on the floor, looking up grandma’s skirt while she is ironing ...
“Grandma, what’s inside your knickers?”
Grandma freezes.
Not all all sure what to say at this point.
“Inside mine they say age 3 to 4”
🤣
I think she put these funny sayings in a book at the time.

When I was stuck at traffic lights I could look across at the other cars and all the drivers would be laughing too.

For a year I did a job I hated, it was utterly soul destroying but I learnt a lot of lessons about what type of work suits me. Terry Wogan got me to work each day, I can still picture those journeys, he made me smile when I felt awful.

Yes, “ the current Mrs Wogan” 😂

Aveline 😉

We could do with a section on GN on people who need a slap! Obviously, it would be instantly banned and called hate speech.

And “dulcet tones”

I’m another who enjoyed listening to Terry Wogan as I drove to work. He made me laugh out loud. I was pleased to be a TOG and shocking to admit but I enjoyed his section on people who needed a slap. Also his gentle references Tom’ the current Mrs Wogan.

Bbc2 isn’t what it was but then I suspect they want rid of us oldies, it’s working isn’t it.

Yes it was. Not forgetting 'Grievous Bodily Honeyford' of course!

Urmstogran Was it Sarah Kennedy ?

Also, the brilliance that was Wogan was ... his listeners! They fed him lines and he batted back. There was a great camaraderie between him & his audience. TOGs. Terry’s Old Geezers. He was a joy to listen to. And before his time slot, the very witty woman. Gosh, senior moment, her name escapes me. Sarah something or other I think?

Thinking of a few of the songs he played and commented on.

‘Without You’ by Nielsen.

‘Sweet Sixteen’ by The Furies with Davy Arthur.

‘I’ve Never Been To Me’ by Charlene.

Will check it out NanKate. Thanks.

If you want a good laugh Aveline listen to Gloomsbury on Radio 4 I think on a Thursday morning. It’s hilarious and is a spoof on the Bloomsbury Set. Alison Steadman and Miriam Margolyes are brilliant, as are the rest of the cast.

I was just thinking of him the other day as he was on an old totp shows. Singing the floral dance. I used to drive to work every morning to him he’s left me with lots of lovely memories. I used to drive home to Johnnie walkers drive time too.

I was only thinking the other day driving around how much I miss his wit.The country could do with his warmth and humour at the moment.Too many presenters who think they are funny but really aren't.

I loved Terry Wogan I still have his Janet and John recordings too, so funny.
He was first class at everything he did, Come Dancing, Eurovision and all his other TV and radio shows. I first heard him on BFBS radio in Germany. Brilliant man, sadly missed.

But he'd not be allowed to say the things he used to any more.

Yes, I liked Terry too, never took himself seriously.

He had just the right humour and lightness of touch with the Eurovision Song Contest too.
