Terry Wogan, 77, cancer.

Oh that one hits hard, despite knowing it was coming. Perpetual innuendo-fest Blankety Blank was a cornerstone of TV watching in our house, with his battles with Kenney Everett pretty much the funniest thing I'd ever seen, and while his ridiculously successful chatshow killed my interest, his various radio shows were always beyond masterful. I met him once in passing in a hotel bar in Clare, he was utterly charming.

Another popular icon gone. 2016 is not a very happy year so far.

Sad news. I used to love listening to his breakfast show as I drove to work, he always seemed to be enjoying himself so much and was a joy to listen to. RIP Terry.

Aw, shite. Never even knew he was sick. My granny knew him when he was a kid.

Still one of the most baffling cases of disappearance especially for one so well known. Apparently he would/is 81 this year.

Obviously his murder of that poor woman isn't remotely funny, but I do like the idea of arranging to have his corpse fed to the tigers in the zoo so his wife couldn't inherit.

Oh obsolutely not, i'm in now way refuting he was considerably unstable by the time he commited those horrible acts but the lure of the unexplained make's me somewhat fond of the modern urban myth.
