Sim Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I so enjoyed Sir Terry's self-deprecating approach. I always admire people who can laugh at themselves, and don't take themselves too seriously. The only reason I used to look forward to Eurovision every year was for his commentary; he was so hilarious... I remember comments like (when an Eastern European country gave 12 points to Russia) "ah well, that's their gas supply assured for the coming winter". He just tore apart the obvious political voting with a dry humour that made me laugh every year. His tireless work for charity was much appreciated, and will no doubt always be remembered. RIP Sir Terry. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 This month has been horrendous. RIP, Sir Terry. We will miss you very much. I also loved his ability to laugh at himself and his wry and gentle take on life. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O`Brien Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Very sad. He came across as being such a genuinely nice man. Wonder if he will be buried in his home city of Limerick? That`s ANOTHER famous male dying of cancer. RIP. Edited January 31, 2016 by Lisa O`Brien 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 So sad and another shocking loss. Poor Sir Terry. I will listen to my Janet and John CDs with sorrow but also with much laughter. Thoughts are with his family and friends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
