Oedo 808 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 The first Norman Wisdom film I ever saw was "The Square Peg". The Early Bird was a good one, I agree, the best scene in it I think is when he's trying to walk up the stairs with a cup of tea in his hand. Genius. Here's a scene from Up In The World. I think the girl in this (Maureen Swanson) is rather lovely and has this brilliant Scottish accent the likes of which I've never heard in real life. Norman, you've got to love him. He just doesn't know his station in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 DigitalxVoodoo....watch yer back!!!! Me 'n' the Scorgester have got you in our sights!!!Surely the time is approaching for Vera Lynn to fall over the white cliffs of Dover, or Jimmy Osmond to get hit by a busload of mormon tourists in Salt Lake City?Val Doonican in bizarre rocking-chair accident, or knocked over by a cardigan?

french_disko Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Would it be wrong to have Alan Cynic on my dead pool for next year? Surely his sex, drugs and folk n' roll lifestyle will catch up with him eventually????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 No chance...he's in my list for this year, so I can assure you he'll be well gone before long If we get a 2011 list I assume your own 'survivors' carry on, but you sub the dead ones with terminally ill/unlucky replacements???I'm picking a whole new team for 2011! I don't want to be stuck with these healthy bastards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I reckon the reaper is working his way towards one more biggie before 2010 is condemned to history.
