So,
Farewell then
Graham Stark.

When I was
young,
I used to get you
mixed up with Bernard
Cribbens.

It's easier
now.
He's still alive.

Farewell then

Undootabley Mosses Thotcher
That
Was your catch phrase.

At least it was
According to Private
Eye.

So, farewell then...

Big Lisburn Distillery fan back in the day.

Cole's first scoop as a young cub reporter, sometime in the late 40s. Clement Attlee was on holiday in NI, his wife (a notoriously erratic driver) negotiating them around the backways of Fermanagh. Cole got a tip off they'd be visiting the pub in Puckoon for lunch, and rushed down to get the gen on the Berlin Airlift,or whatever the crisis of the day was.

[Calvert]

So, farewell then...

Pfft.

He was no W. D. Flackes.

[Duncan Gardner]

So, farewell then...

Aye Billy was the real thing, a wild-haired ranting boy from the farthest of the far up-country. Like a cross between the Awetastic Banjoculchie and Father Jack.

[Gangster Octopus]

So, farewell then...

So,
Farewell then,
Ray Gosling.

I used to enjoy,
Your programmes on Radio,
Four.
But then they stopped.

Apparently you were out,
Of fashion.

Ridiculous.

So, farewell then...

So,
Farewell then,
Daevid Allen.

"Have a cup of tea",
That was your,
Catchphrase.

As,
A Buddhist will,
You come back as,
A cup of tea?

[Gangster Octopus]

So,
Farewell then,
Bill Maynard.

I know what,
A,
Bag of nuts,
Is.

But what,
Is a pint of,
Cooking?
