andreimack Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hmm, hard to comment on this one, I suffered him on a few occasions and always thought he was a bit of a Bawbag, if I close my eyes and picture a typical nationalist, he encompassed everything I'd expect, in saying that I also enjoyed a good few days in his company ( Tablisi,) and will remember him fondly. Genuinely gone to soon, stone mad, bonkers, and it's pish Scotland has lost him. RIP Norrie xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wibble Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 The jaicket... Several years ago - 4-5? - I noticed the auld Levi 'shite' one was knackered. It was. Anyway, as i was going up to Glasgow for the Christmas bash, as said I'd meet him and we'd have a natter and a drink. So I met Norrie, wee Gaynor and, IIRC, Redz in ma hotel. (Not sure if we all met together, or individually?) Anyway, I had a nearly new - albeit 15-year-old Levi denim in the wardrobe (it's a magic wardrobe where everything in it shrinks... ) so I thought Dotcom might get it on - and he did. Dunno what he did with the 'If it's not Scottish it's shit' one though - but surely a collector's piece by now, I reckon. I would do anything to have him ring me at daft 0'clock now but, wherever he is, he'll hopefully be making a bloody nuisance of himsel'. He put me on to this, BTW: http://www.accuradio.com/player/54ba60774895c71eb39d9c67/ Anyone need a lift up from my neck of the woods - or close - just shout!

weekevie04 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Nice story, Wibble I didn't know him personally, but only from here was always a gentleman to me, but have heard/read and seen the stories of his adventures.

Wibble Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 My apologies - it was 'crap' on Dotcom's back and not 'shit'. The old brain (such as it is) like my memory, is not what it was.

Angusfifer Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 RIP Norrie Saw you kicking around Strathies before every home game in that daft denim jacket and this thread has made made me laugh out loud.

albagubrath Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I only knew Norrie via the tamb and despite both campaigning in the glasgow east by-election our paths never crossed. IIRC he was always out putting posters up lamp posts. I'd occasionally get late night calls from Norrie in which he'd educate me on how to win at internet poker and always discuss how Scotland will win independence. RIP Norrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
