  • Norman Wisdom RIP

    Heard the news of the death of Norman Wisdom this morning. I'll grant you, his style of comedy is not everyone's cup of tea but, in my eyes, the man was a genius.

    He's bought many a tear to my eyes from as early in my life as I can remember.

    Sad news indeed.

    Here's a clip from a stand-up routine that always has me in fits:

            What an idiot!!!!! But what a comic genius. One of the all-time greats comedy fall-guys. Brought laughter to many after the bitter times of WW2. One of the Worlds "nice guys". RIP Norman, you are already missed.

              Always remember him as a child & just could not help laughing even looking at him!

              Great comic and a very decent human being.

              RIP
              Happy Landings.
