  • John Cushnie RIP

    Heard on the 2pm news that John Cushnie has died of a heart attack. I love GQT and it won't be the same without his dry wit

    Sad news indeed - I didn't always agree with him but he was a great contributor.
    Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

      Yes I was very sorry to hear this.
      You can still listen to Sunday's GQT on iplayer.

        Sad news, he was the nest panelist for me.

            Gosh, I hadn't heard the news and just came across this thread by chance. How sad. He presented a gardening show on BBC Northern Ireland, as well as GQT, and I saw him at 'Bloom' in Dublin during the summer. He had a wealth of knowledge and on a one to one basis he was so willing to share. He will be missed.
            A good beginning is half the work.
            Praise the young and they will make progress.

              I heard it yesterday but as I don't listen to GQT the name meant nothing to me.
              Was a bit baffled as to who he was.
              Was he old then, or was it something that came out of the blue?

                Aged 66 - sudden heart attack. (Frighteningly young when you're 60 like me!)
                He didn't float my boat I have to say. He regularly used to get the word glyphosate wrong till someone must have told him. Still, sad to hear.

                  Not that old then. Sad.
                  Dont worry Flum, you will outlive the rest of us, I am sure.
                  Know what you mean about pronouncing things wrong repeatedly. It starts to grate on you after a while.
