Norman Wisdom died yesterday, aged 95


Too old to die young, too ugly to leave a good looking corpse

Sorry Bryn, but I can't say I ever heard of Norman Wisdom over here across the Pond, as he must've been big primarily in Blighty. However, after watchin' your YouTube link and another one I found(linked below), I have say I found the "two-left-footed" Norman truly was a very funny and talented physical comedian, indeed!

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Nice guy Sir Norman, look forward to watching the films all over again.

In the news lastnight it showed him getting his knighthood, as he walked away from the Queen he gave the sideways look and his trip.
About 5mins into this News item

He lived on the Isle of Man and cruised about in his roller, that was untill they took his licence away after a few mishaps.

Became a big star in Albania as his films where the only western (I dont mean cowboys western) movies permitted.
