On this day

Have to disagree here. He was in the top ten earners in the time they were splashing the cash.

He’s 75 now. Did you want to wait till he was on his deathbed before they gave somebody else a go?

On this day in 1963 this man became the 36th President of the USA.

On this day 25 years ago my favourite television and radio music presenter Uaneen Fitzsimons was killed in a car crash. She was 28.

Today Uaneen is memorialised through the Uaneen module at DCU and the Uaneen rule on TFK.
