Maybe not that well know outside of the UK, but a much loved radio and TV presenter.

His charm and gentle wit will be greatly missed.

lol MD, he was just the gentlest, warmest guy youd hope to have on a chat show

radio presenter for eons, was the UKs commentator for Eurovision song contest for decades and ripped the piss out of it every year

became a kind of cult figure

dunno what your guys equivalent would be but he'll be missed here

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

If Bawb is the least bit upset, it makes me pissed. If ucg, MD, Mirth and LB are upset that Bawb is upset, I get more pissed.

RIP

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat
