AIBU?

To think Norman Price from Fireman Sam is a very naughty boy

47 replies

Aeroflotgirl · 11/05/2017 19:04

Come on, he's responsible for most of the Fires in Pontypandy. Most of them, can be dealt without a Fireperson, what a waste of resources. But it does give them something to do, as they are just sitting about twiddling their thumbs waiting for a call.

That's why they call him naughty norman price
At least they used to when my ds used to watch it
Mind, he is 27 now, so its been a while

tissuesosoft · 11/05/2017 19:09

His mother is definitely PFB about him

clippityclock · 11/05/2017 19:10

What pissed me off the most is that they made the only naughty child ginger and from a single parent household!!! Think I'm right about that!

MrsMoastyToasty · 11/05/2017 19:10

Why hasn't heard got an ASBO?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 11/05/2017 19:10

Naughty Norman keeps the Ponty Pandy fire brigade in a job.

MrsMoastyToasty · 11/05/2017 19:10

He

watchoutformybutt · 11/05/2017 19:10

He's a total arsehole. "But Mam!" Fuck off Norman.

Diamonddealeroncemore · 11/05/2017 19:11

Known in our house as 'the only pyromaniac in the village'

LadyFuchsiaGroan · 11/05/2017 19:12

Norman, your more trouble than a monkey on a moped I absolutely love that line from Fireman Sam

grasspigeons · 11/05/2017 19:14

I feel sorry for him. Clearly fire man Sam is his real father (look at the hair) and has turned his back on him to be a 'hero'. Norman seems to be acting up to get attention.

Aeroflotgirl · 11/05/2017 19:15

I know he does, without Norman, the Fire service of Pontypandy would not know what to do. He's always up to Mischief. My son who is 5 loves it, and sometimes I watch it with him.

He's really annoying in the "new" episodes, but in the stop motion ones from the 90s/00s he is great. In fact they are all so annoying in the CGI version. There was a funny article in the Guardian about Fireman Sam once, saying that Sam was basically like a stripper dressed as a fireman, and why does he get all the credit for saving Pontypandy when Penny, Elvis etc did just as much work?
And I also want to know: why is Pontypandy now by the sea?! I've definitely watched too much Fireman Sam

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 11/05/2017 19:17

I love watching fireman Sam.

EB123 · 11/05/2017 19:19

He is so naughty! There is one book where he purposely gets a group of them stuck at the top of the lighthouse, I have read this book so many times over the last few times and it still annoys me that he does that.

MuchBenham · 11/05/2017 19:30

Yes that lighthouse one EB! So annoying! But there is a lovely old Christmas episode where Pontypandy is cut off by a snowstorm, and Norman goes off on his sledge to get the town a Christmas tree. He does get into trouble with Dilys (for going off alone - and without a vest!) but comes back with a tree and they put it up in the centre of the town. Then it ends with all the Pontypandy Christmas lights twinkling on Christmas Eve, it's very sweet.

MrsMoastyToasty · 11/05/2017 19:33

Building and contents insurance rates must be sky high in Pontypandy.

FunkinEll · 11/05/2017 19:34

He always was even in the old school FS days. A bad, bad boy and his mother is bloody useless.

wickerlampshade · 11/05/2017 19:36

In the new ones his mother is quite sexually predatory towards Trevor. It's very funny.

Vroomster · 11/05/2017 19:38

Without Norman that service would get decommissioned.

FlaviaAlbia · 11/05/2017 19:40

YANBU Someone on here had a theory that Station Officer Steel was both fireman Sam and Naorman's father.

I like that idea. One son is an arsonist, the other is a firefigher...

Rinoachicken · 11/05/2017 20:15

YANBU, however he is a child after all so has SOME excuse.

Mrs Chen on the other hand has to be the most reckless and irresponsible teacher on the planet - I don't know how she hasn't been fired and her daughter removed by now - she entrusts her preschool daughter to other young children to care for (with predictable results), her daughter has been stranded on a beach, lost on a mountain, she has endangered a whole bus of school kids by stealing a bus (and driving it without insurance), had another school child fall down a mine...the list goes on!!

hippadoppaloppagorillapig · 11/05/2017 20:27

grasspigeons that's the theory in my house as well!
