    It might be your mainland, but by God it's not mine.

    Fair play to him for recognising that people can overstay their welcome in certain cases. As he said "I don't want to end with the tide going out". Intelligent man, never listened to his station but it's the end of an era.

    Love Wogan! Always has a smart ar*e remark to make on the Eurovision. His radio show was class, and he's a very eloquent, kind, jovial, witty man. He never seems to go too much overboard with the 'We Irish are great craic'* thing, I think that's why he's liked so much in Britain


    *we're great craic when we can slag someone without getting slagged back. The sh*t truly hits the fan when we're slagged back

    Sorry Averie Loose Ballistics didnt mean to try derail the thread or anything but in my defense with so many people commenting on that post and not the topic, I thought that someone might have reported it or staff dealt with it. Anyways, tis not important! :o

    Back on topic, was Wogan that popular in the UK? Was he like a Sean Moncrieff of DFTG fame or was he a Gaybo for scale purposes :)

    Just had a check on some of the shows he did, he had a few shows on tv - blanketly blank, a chat show and also hosted children in need. Would say he was popular enough.
