The RIP thread...

And his excuse 20 years ago?

/internet sigh

out with your story. come on. out with it.

Which one, I've had several dealings with him and he was always very much of the do you know who I am type. Yes, i do, you haven't stopped shouting about it since you arrived in the store.

i have laughed at norman wisdom before. but not in real life. andy.w, have laughed at you on here nuff times.

and Tony Curtis, just saw that. Spartacus was a massive film for me when i was younger. The Vikings too.

The Vikings. Now that's a film.

Really sad about Norman Wisdom. I loved his films as a kid.

Did you meet Bernard Manning? No? He was an 18 carat cunt.
How about Kenneth Williams - a truly vile character.
Sid James? Alcoholic shagger.

All paragons of virtue, I'm sure you'll agree......

First one was a proper cunt.

Kenneth Williams was brilliant - screaming howling toxic vitriol of the highest order.
A tortured soul and a comedy genius born before his time.

Sid James. A boozed up sex bomb with a face like Alan Sugar's ball bag.
He was the king. I loved him in the Quatermass Experiment - a decent actor. The Carry On movies got very stale, but Carry On Cleopatra was awesome. And Carry On Camping. Love Sid James.

Very sad news about Norman Wisdom. :[
'A stitch in time', 'The square peg', and 'The early bird' are some of my favourite films ever.

95 years old though. a good innings by anyones book.

Norman Wisdom was a godammed comic genius, worthy of all the plaudits that he gets now, though I'm not sure about the brickbats?

He was from deeply impoverished background, and had slept rough as a child. He, like Sean Connery and Sir Ben Kingsley, did play on their latterly elevated social positions. Norman Wisdom wasn't alone there. Still, for the amount of smiles he gave to millions, I think it would be nice to cut him a little bit of slack. Anyway, where would Lee Evans be with Norman's template?

R.I.P. you wee genius.

I'd agree with that.

He worked his little tits off to feed his family when he was a kid, and he stayed small because of malnutrition.

He earned his right to throw his name about a bit, I reckon.

^here fucking here!

never got Norman Wisdom or any of that physical comedy…

Spike Milligan in the Q series mixed it with enough madness to make me giggle but the straight up knockabout stuff just doesn't float my boat

Well said General Lucifer. Reppoed.

Spotting the locations where they filmed Norman Wisdom & Carry on films is what i find myself doing now if i watch the films.

The Vikings. Now that's a film.

this. I am glad someone else thinks so.....love the music score

RIP Mr Grimsdale's lackey :(

Norman Wisdom was Norman Wisdom

johnnyrau,i hope they bury the cunt deep then cap it with reinforced concrete

^^^^^I've never even read one of his posts (I don't think); have I missed anything?

You've missed everything.

It has been epic.

On the subject of Tony Curtis as a treat my school always used to show us the Black Shield Of Falworth on the last day of term - was prob my favorite movie up till the age of 10

What school was that?

Knight School?

Is that you with the eyepatch Luci?

What school was that?

Knight School?

Not far off
