I think had I been British and therefore more familiar with a lot of the people and events discussed, I would have enjoyed it more.

I did get a chuckle out of his commentary on a large family living on public funding in a very large house, where the matriarch is into dogs, the father is a racist old codger who speaks out of turn, a local shopkeeper is convinced the family had his son and the son's girlfriend killed, the kids all had disastrous marriages, and the grandkids were supposed to be in the military but were more likely to be seen in night clubs. I was more than halfway through the description before I realized who he meant. Made me chuckle. May 08, David H Pearson rated it really liked it. Ignore the public. This is a fine read for us TOGS.

I Something for the Weekend: The Collected Columns of Sir Terry Wogan like Terry W. I don't like his false modesty: I was given a full piped welcome onto the royal yacht, only titter titter it was probably a raspberry. I don't like the way he tries to create a club of marvelleous human beings, who then jeer at the 'numpties' who run the roads, the schools, the real world in other words. I don't like the w I picked this up because the page it opened at had a funny story from a listener, and I thought the books would be like that, but it's full of Terry W. I don't like the way he takes cheap pot shots at health and safety - would he rather we worked in conditions like a ship breakers in Bangladesh I saw on TV who don't bother about all that health and safety nonsense? They have about 4 fatalities a month. However, I must give him credit for his charity work.
