To say fireman Sam is annoying as hell!

Lighthearted thread but OMG!

Firstly Why do they always call fireman Sam? Surely they should call the fire brigade or 999 not Sam, I mean he's not even the station officer!
Second, surely Norman would be in a young persons detention centre by now or at least be kept an eye on by social services! The amount of arson he commits is ridiculous.
Finally Sarah, James and Hannah are horrible friends and should be ashamed!

What about james and Sarah? Why do we never see their parents? That's another Social Services job. Although DH has a theory that FS is really their dad secretly.

I will take Fireman Sam over Bing the whiney bunny any day. His voice sets my teeth on edge.

ZiggZagg · 08/06/2020 20:25

James and Sarah are Charlie and Bronwyns kids, they're Sams niece and nephew 🙈

Norman's a little shit!

I hate when they are off work and all still wear their uniforms! Girls night in, Penny still has full firefighter gear on and the nurse is still in her bloody scrubs ffs!!

This is all bringing back horrifying memories of when I was pg with DD2 and got pneumonia and let DD1 watch back to back episodes of FS while I attempted to snooze on the sofa. (DH was away). I was so pleased when I discovered The Great Fire of Pontypandy and didn’t have to lift the remote or deal with the theme tune every 15 minutes.

Why the fuck is Postman Pat still in a job? He loses literally every sodding Special Delivery he has to make. He wouldn’t even get a job with Yodel.

Gunpowder · 08/06/2020 20:29

Isn’t the theory that Sam is really Norman’s dad? Explains why Norman is allowed to get away with it and also WHY he behaves like that (a subconscious need to attract his real fathers attention).

JigglypuffsCaptor · 08/06/2020 20:34

Norman is definitely Sam's illicit child with Dilys.

Norman needs intervention, he's a pyromaniac.

I live in Wales. I know we are a small country, but a mountain rescue and sea harbour withing 5 miles...no. it's at least a 40minute drive Swansea to Brecon 😂

LookAtTheCahhOlivahhhhh · 08/06/2020 20:34

Forget losing the parcels feesh, why must he open them?! Nosey bastard.

Livpool · 08/06/2020 20:35

I hate that little shit Norman

june2007 · 08/06/2020 20:36

Bella was annoying.(Think it was Bella the Italian lady.)

Nevertouchakoala · 08/06/2020 20:49

Norman is the worst character ever. EVER!!

Nevertouchakoala · 08/06/2020 20:49

The way he says Maaaaaam makes my teeth grind

Giganticshark · 08/06/2020 21:54

Hannah is awful! what's with the weird sexual manipulation against Trevor???

Giganticshark · 08/06/2020 22:00

Sam rolls his eyes and has a (rightful!) sense of pissed off when shit goes down. He's fucking fed up of elvis and Norman. He's also probably Norman's dad ain't he

CosmicVagina · 08/06/2020 22:04

I think Sam's a bit of a heartthrob. The other day he leapt out of the helicopter over rocky water because there wasn't time to out on the harness. I got the fanny gallops!

Giganticshark · 08/06/2020 22:09

Norman is pretty funny though come on!!
Mrs Chen is a shit teacher /human.
Dylis joy riding.... WTAF is wrong with these adults?

Redcrayons · 08/06/2020 22:15

If ever there was a fictional child that’s needs a clout round the ear, it’s that Norman Price.

My DS was obsessed when he was little.

Philosoraptor · 08/06/2020 22:22

I see your Fireman Sam and raise you Bing, Waffle the Wonder Dog and Topsy and Tim

sideorderofchips · 08/06/2020 22:25

At least we don't have to rely on the trains on sodor

clpsmum · 08/06/2020 22:27

Sam is a smug bastard but oh my word mike flood is the most stupid arsehole ever. If he were real I'd punch him

clpsmum · 08/06/2020 22:30

I always thought Dylis and Trevor were shagging. Interesting some people think Norman is sams son!

Mittens030869 · 08/06/2020 22:34

I'm so glad that my DDs have grown out of Postman Pat and Fireman Sam, so I'm never forced to watch either of them anymore! 🤣🤣

NotYetBaby · 08/06/2020 22:37

@Nevertouchakoala

Norman is the worst character ever. EVER!!
Yes! I know he is meant to be annoying but he’s actually unwatchable. I hate him so much
LemonDrizzles · 08/06/2020 22:44

@gunpowder there is also a movie Allen alert with David tennant. I think it's am hour.

TinklyLittleLaugh · 08/06/2020 22:47

Yes I always though Trevor was Norman’s Dad; he has that guilty, shifty thing going on around Dilys and Norman.
