    Sir Terry Wogan RIP

    A sad day, can't remember the amount of times I've had to stop driving with laughing so much (especially when he did the "Janet and John" stories) whilst listening to his show. A real professional, missed his morning show very much just isn't the same drive to work now. RIP Sir Terry
