To think Norman Price needs more than a telling off from Dilys?

So I'm just being forced to sit through yet another episode of Fireman Sam, this time a feature length episode called 'The Great Fire of Pontypandy', Norman Price ignored express orders from Station Officer Steele & Sam not to start a campfire and started a forest fire that threatened to take out Pontypandy.

When it came out what he had done, Dilys just shook her finger at him and said he was a naughty boy and she would deal with him.

He nearly wiped out an entire town FFS!

So yes other than the fact that I need to get a life and switch the tv off a bit more AIBU in wanting to give Norman Price the little fucker a bit more discipline than a finger waggle?

Norman needs an ASBO and a good hiding. I bloody hate Fireman Sam. Thank God DS is beginning to grow out of it. Whiney voices, implausible plots, inbred children. How anyone in Pontypandy gets house insurance is beyond me!

Haha it's an even more dangerous place to live than Walford.

When I read your thread title, I was thinking of Fatboyslim. Blush

In the book, Norman and his cousin don't get their camping badges at the end. So that's them sorted.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 31/08/2012 09:50

Norman should be sent to Borstal. He is a thief, he stole the sausages that started the fire.

BikeRunSki · 31/08/2012 09:50

ah, the Great Fire of PP.
Seen that more times than I care to remember, but teo years on, it still keeps DS quiet for 45 mins or so!

KenDoddsDadsDog · 31/08/2012 09:50

The sausages didn't start the fire Grin

ENormaSnob · 31/08/2012 09:52

Norman is a twat.

YANBU.

I remember a previous thread about Fireman Sam where a poster suggested that Norman is actually FS and Dilys' love child...

That's why the little fecker gets away with everything.

WillNeverGetALicence · 31/08/2012 10:31

Snap Sinister!

DrSeuss · 31/08/2012 10:34

Oh yes, they're both ginger and no one really knows what happened to Mr Price....

BenedictsCumberbitch · 31/08/2012 10:53

I dunno, Trevor takes an inordinate amount of interest in him, or perhaps it's just him and Dilys having it off?

DS loves Fireman Sam. I want to drown bloody 'naughty' norman and send Dilys on some fucking parenting lessons. I really really hate that kid!! If I was Sam I certainly wouldn't be rescuing the little fucker again and again. Leave him to it, he wastes too many resources.
has far too much rage for a fictional child

bitsnbobs · 31/08/2012 11:07

YANBU! Norman needs the naughty step.

albertswearengen · 31/08/2012 11:10

I have said this before but I think Norman was conceived from Pontypandy's sperm bank- donor - Fireman Sam.
Sam himself is in a relationship with Tom Thomas. Pontypandy's two eligible bachelors.

albert Grin

Is Tom the blonde Australian sounding helicopter pilot?

I have often felt there is some unresolved sexual tension between those two...

ChessieFL · 31/08/2012 11:44

Norman is a little whingy brat but you can't really blame him given how whiny and moany his mother is!! I just want to give her a slap.

BenedictsCumberbitch · 31/08/2012 11:56

Yeah Dilys could do with a few parenting classes. In the last few days I've seen that kid, nick a fire engine, put his mothers scarf in the oven after stealing it from her room, start a forest fire big enough to wipe out the entire town of Pontypandy and eat all of the sandwiches from the bus trip. Her disciplining techniques obviously fall short of what could reasonably be expected.

Norman should be put in care, his mum obviously can't look after him.

(I dislike Fireman Sam intensely but son loves it).

iggi777 · 31/08/2012 12:14

Norman does love his sheep, I suppose.

TribbleTuckandDismount · 31/08/2012 12:22

YANBU!!

IsSamNormansDad · 31/08/2012 13:05

YANBU!! Little shit that he is, Dilys really needs to do something about him.
