And why,might I ask?

This person has implied that people who are not afraid to speak out loud about their pride of being Irish are all supporters of one particular politcal group with a history of violence.This suggestion is NOT,AND I REPEAT NOT,CORRECT.

fair enough, now stop begrudging the Irish who have made a few bob in the mainland

You think this is all about him gettin rich??
NO,it is not.My point,from the very beginning,is why did he have to relinquish his Irishness and while he is there-act like he's anything but??As I have already said-one can make millions abroad without changing one's national identity.

If we are speaking of traitors to the Cause Of Ireland, I can think of quite a few who walk amongst us today who have done incalculably more harm than poor old Terry.One Seanie Fitzpatrick par example?

Maybe you might aim your tirade against them,OP.

When did he change his identity. Via wiki : Sir Michael Terence Wogan, KBE, DL (born 3 August 1938), or also known as Terry Wogan, is a veteran Irish radio and television broadcaster who holds dual Irish and British citizenship.

Duggy is no saint.

EDIT:

No this made up persona became real after I started posting full time. I logged on for the first time to make that HERE's JOHHNY joke in that thread where duggy was in fear of his life.

If you're so proud of being Irish, then why do you hate Terry Wogan?

Of all the people to rag on, why pick him? He's a lovely man, with a wicked sense of humour & has done nothing but good for the image of the Irish across the pond for generations.

The guy's a national treasure. Leave him alone!

I like Terry Wogan it's hard not to, he's a nice man, he's humble and inoffensive while also been interesting with a slightly amusing and joyful stint on the world and he truly has the gift of the gab.

I think his affection for Ireland and the UK are genuine, they are not put on for a buck, I think he is that sort of bloke who seeks as much positiveness as he can. By the way both these affections are compatible, I to like the UK.

I seen one ep of this and I thought it was pretty good as travel programmes goes, which is what it is.

You can have a successful career without changing your nationality and your allegiances.Why was he given the freedom of the city of Limerick?What has he ever done for Limerick,or Ireland?He is known for being a TV and radio presenter-nothing else.Tis understandable why Geldof,another "Sir",was given the freedom of Dublin(although he still cribbed and whinged about it) for his efforts for Africa.Note how Bono refused the "Sir" title,the reason he gave was because he is Irish.

He was the only reason I watched the Eurovision, He is a legend and I don't think he has ever forgotten where he came from. One of the best presenters in the UK imo.

Can't stand the man! He has said in the past that Irish people who say their going home to Ireland when going back for a holiday(funeral, wedding etc.)are wrong - their not going home, their home is wherever they work and live! I live and work in Scotland but still call Ireland home - its where I was born and raised after all:p

He's a tame Irishman who loves everything English and will almost all of the time bring the Irish down(a bit like Boards ie really:rolleyes:).

Temper, temper.

Anyway, it's clear to me that you're also doing fuck all for Ireland except moan and complain about Terry Wogan. So who are you to judge him? Hippo-critt.

So what, but he reads from the autocue so well and some of that is ad lib. He agreed to do it and that in itself is a great comedic moment.

No he is not, he just keeps the conversation going better then most, he was on the BBC radio 1 breakfast programme for years which is primetime for radio. Now Britain has a very wide pool of talent, yet they kept him.

He is very talented.

Someone who was once Irish himself,happy to amuse the British at our expense-that's my problem.
And I'd feel the same about anybody else-not just a celebrity like Wogan.I've explained meself enough.

I hope that you don't carry your abrasive, insensible opinions of what constitutes a tame or distinctive Irishman with you abroad! You can't stand the man because he has a slightly different opinion to you on a rather insignificant matter? You sound lovely...

I'm sure Sir Terry Wogan has done far more to aid the image of Ireland abroad through his humour and intelligence than you ever have.

Moreover, what would be wrong with "loving everything English"? Sure I find this line (and post in general) hard to take seriously since you have decided to look to the UK for work and a place to live.

He did the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show for many years and is far better known for that (he may have done BBC Radio 1, I'm not sure) and continues to do a little bit of Radio 2 stuff. BBC Radio 2 actually has a far bigger audience in Britain than Radio 1 though.

I'm abrasive?:rolleyes: Where did I say there was anything wrong with loving everything English? The difference is that I don't toady to anyone no matter where they come from but Mr Wogan comes across as a big fat warty toady(imo). Don't be so sure I haven't done anything to promote Irishness (North and South)wherever I go, in fact I go out of my way to clear up some misconceptions about Ulster(the British part) and its troubles!

Gosh - you really don't like being disagreed with do you! Wogan is a "tame Irishman" and now I'm a "web warrior" because I simply challenged something you posted on a discussion forum?

Don't waste your time Madam-judging from the reactions there are some people with genuine opinions-that includes the ones who don't agree with what i've said.But then you're confronted with others who are bandwagon jumpers and who don't allow a negative opinion,and others who only come on here just to pick a fight

General Relativity

The only wrong doing here is; someone called Terry Wogan funny. :rolleyes:

Poor terry, too english to be irish and too irish to be english.

You slated Terry Wogan in your OP, you don't like him but some people do. It's hard to know who you hate more Terry or the UK. If you start a thread you must know some posters will disagree with you.
