Gemmill 63127 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 It was an absolute institution back in the 80s, Nightowls. Remember that cunt John from Whitley Bay who used to write poems. He's probably been dead 20 years now. Good news for later listeners to the show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, probably said the greatest understatement ever uttered in history, “Ah, Houston, we've had a problem." ( even though he was repeating Jack Swiggert’s original statement). How they stayed so cool during that entire mission is remarkable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 15566 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Dan (my late son for those who don't know) was a huge nightowls fan reckoned it was the funniest thing ever, anyway for his 30th birthday one of his colleagues wrote to Robson and asked if he'd send Dan a birthday card c/o work. Indeed Robson did send a card, he turned up at the office and hand delivered it on Dan's birthday along with a pile of CD's. So he's ok by me. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63127 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Fair play, that's class from Robson. As with most public figures, there's probably a lot of unseen stuff they did which meant a lot to people, and which no one else ever saw. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
