Guest Goonish Grin Posted April 27, 2004 Just wondering if Norman Wisdom has been considered. I've been watching this one since the early '90s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted April 27, 2004 Norm was included on the list in 1997 and 2003. Still looks a bit sprightly though! DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 6,135 Posted April 27, 2004 He's been on my list for the last 18 months. Is he practising for the octogenarian olympics or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Reaper 186 Posted April 30, 2004 Not that this is related to anything but... How do they allocate the handicapped car parking spaces at the paraplegic Olympics?? (A point for anyone who knows where I knicked this one from) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Dracula 2 Posted May 2, 2004 I've got Norman on a personal Deathlist this year but by the look of it the cheeky blighter is still more likely to be calling for Mr Grimshaw rather than Mr Grim-Reaper...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Stats 9 Posted May 2, 2004 Have we heard back from Norman's agent recently? He sent us an awfully shirty email a few years ago saying that his client was fighting fit (and available for Panto). We asked him to let us know if there was any deterioration in NW's condition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Our Sole 5 Posted May 5, 2004 Looks like the DL committee are going to have to watch Corrie in the name of research..... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/t...dio/3687865.stm Does 2005 beckon an opportunity for success? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Theo Posted July 5, 2004 It was terrible. Anyway, the important bits: he seemed quite sprightly, but his speech was inaudable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bearer 6,135 Posted October 16, 2004 Could he be on his last legs? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/3749652.stm Alistair Cooke 'retired' and a couple of weeks later...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted October 16, 2004 I also saw this report, but could find no word on failing health. Let's hope your hunch is correct! DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Four Horsemen 26 Posted October 20, 2004 I heard an interview on an English-Language Spanish radio station last week with Mr Wisdom and he sounded in good health - even sang his famous (apparently) song about being a fool and did a "Mr Grimsdale" for the DJ - he also wants to make a film, so I don't know that he is on his way out just yet.

Guest If I told you that... Posted October 27, 2004 I see Norman out quite a bit and he's very sprightly for his age. He's a flirtatious bugger too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted October 27, 2004 Do you live in Albania perchance? If so, does everyone wear military hats at a jaunty angle and sport well-clipped mustaches? thus... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Four Horsemen 26 Posted November 10, 2004 Is this insider knowledge? Either way, I thought it belonged here - just because he's almost 90 doesn't mean he warrants 2 threads! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted November 24, 2004 Norman Wisdom is a relative of mine and I'd appreciate it if you didn't bet on his death. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Four Horsemen 26 Posted November 24, 2004 I'm sure we all appreciate your sentiments, but how many times do we have to say this - WE DON'T BET ON DEATHS!!!!! Please read the intro to the Deathlist or any number of the other threads for further details and who knows, maybe you would then like to make a suggestion for next years list? Especially if you have some inside information on your relative........... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest One Man Jury Posted November 25, 2004 Norman Wisdom is a relative of mine and I'd appreciate it if you didn't bet on his death. Thanks. Right Mr Grimsdale! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted January 12, 2005 Judging by the way he drives his 5 series BMW around the Isle of man, and is regularly seen out and about, I have a feeling that this position in the list will "bear no fruit" this year at least ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moosey 3 Posted January 14, 2005 Judging by the way he drives his 5 series BMW around the Isle of man, and is regularly seen out and about, I have a feeling that this position in the list will "bear no fruit" this year at least ?? Well that rather depends how he drives his 5 series BMW. If he drives it like a twat then there's every chance he could oblige us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handrejka 1,911 Posted January 14, 2005 If he drives it like a twat then there's every chance he could oblige us. Well everyone else on the Island does so if he doesn't oblige us someone else might . Oh and I won't be guilty- I don't drive 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
