Agree with you jings. When I found out he got massively paid for hosting Children in need I liked him even less if that's possible. angry

Oh sorry. Didn't realise this thread is primarily about him.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 01-Nov-15 20:31:48

Sorry. Can't stand that bloke.

Ughhh!

Oh and I love Terry Wogan, he was one of the best things that ever happened to the Beeb in my opinion!

I frequently call my DGS2 by his dog's name and vice versa! I think it's because they both joined the family within a short space of time. When DGS1 (the older brother) was tiny, he often got called by their first dog's name - and I wasn't the only culprit as his dad (my DS) did as well!!

Bellanonna that's enough to make a cat laugh! grin

Merlotgran don't worry! Middle son who is only 35 sent his father a 70th card a year early too this week. His excuse was that he wasn't 100% sure, but didn't want to miss a milestone birthday if it was. hmm DH was NOT amused, however I doubt if he could remember any of the DC ages if required to. grin

My DH is always calling our daughter by our granddaughter's name and vice versa bless him.

I agree it's easily done, DH is notorious for it. I've been known to call oldest DGS by DS's name. TW is ok in small doses.
Bella that made me thlgrin not least because a friends new GS has what I feel is a name that should be reserved for dogs.

I sent my older brother a 70th birthday card a year early.....He was not impressed shock

I'd had a difficult week with my mother winding me up about various things including saying, 'I can't believe he'll soon be 70' over and over and over again.

Not that soon apparently. grin

Don't knock our Tel. I love him. Getting GCs' names muddled is one thing, I have sometimes, even when much younger, called each DD by the wrong name. I still do, but not often. I called DDs small son by her cat's name recently but that's because I've known the cat a lot longer. And it kind of just came out. He thought it was a joke, and laughed ! ( the child, not the cat). grin

Six of my seven my GC have 3 letter names that sound very similar - and two have the same name. Needless to say I do get a bit mixed up!

Anya Sun 01-Nov-15 16:04:07

Sorry but I can't stand the man.

Ana Sun 01-Nov-15 15:52:40

Not sure a 9 year old grandson would appreciate being called 'Baby' on air, kitty! thlgrin

kittylester Sun 01-Nov-15 15:28:16

TW has started to get on my nerves now. He should do what DH says when he can't remember which one of the 3 youngest DGDs are which and just call them 'baby'! grin

Nelliemoser Sun 01-Nov-15 15:01:23

I think T W is lovely. I mix up my two GCs names why shouldn't he? It is not difficult. He has a wonderful sense of humour he almost made the Eurovision song contest bearable with his ironic remarks.

ninathenana Sun 01-Nov-15 14:28:39

Bad enough in front of friends n family but with thousands/millions? listening thlblush

KatyK Sun 01-Nov-15 14:12:19

I have a soft spot for Terry. He seems very genuine.

merlotgran Sun 01-Nov-15 13:51:23

DH and I were listening to Terry Wogan this morning and heard him wishing his grandson, Freddy, a Happy 9th Birthday.

A few moments later he corrected himself.......Wrong grandson!!

I know he's a bit of a doddery old fool these days but he does make us laugh grin
