I\'m a daft old sod

Just heard that John Peel has left us.

Had to wipe away rather more than one tear.

Re: I\'m a daft old sod

Any more on what happened? Just heard he died suddenly in Peru.
He was one of the most youthful 65 year olds around.
A sad loss.

Probably more than 1 daft old sod here.

Funny how you realise a person's worth or their impact when they're gone.

Re: I\'m a daft old sod

Me too

Like an institution gone. I enjoyed his broadcasts for many years, more recently Home Truths on R4.

Me too. He was always a pleasure to listen to, I shall miss him.

Re: I\'m a daft old sod

one of my earliest radio memories is a small tranny under my pillow, seemingly late at night, listening to John Peel.

More recently I have been enjoying Home Truths.

The passing of a legend.

Re: I\'m a daft old sod

No way. Sad news indeed- he's the sort of chap who you assume is immortal and would still have been doing Home Truths when I'm in residential care.

Re: I\'m a daft old sod

Nooooo. Thats very sad. We often used to listen to home truths whilst on the way to the boat on saturday morning. He will be sadly missed.

Re: I\'m a daft old sod

A bit more of the real world has left us. Seems strange to think that distinctive voice will not be heard again and reminds me I too am mortal.

Re: I\'m a daft old sod

Me too, a bit like Alistair Cook, Brian Johnston etc. he had become part of the fabric of the nation, mostly I suppose for the music but Home Truths was a great programme.

Re: I\'m a daft old sod

You are not the only one Ken...the passing of a legend, and for those of us on the East Coast a local legend, JP lived in Suffolk. The man will be sorely missed by all.

Re: I\'m a daft old sod

That's literally sent a cold shiver down my spine. To my mind, JP was the only DJ with any real integrity, a very sad loss.
