Collier, best know of course for his stuttering microphone routine.


RIP Norman
 
Ironically he had parkinsons that makes you stutter verbally and physically.

RIP Norman.
 
You live, you die...

It is the square of life.

(said in a stuttery voice please)
 
Oh and Parkinsons, one of the really shittiest of illnesses. Watching a friend of mine going through it the last few years, awful stuff.
 
You couldn't imagine his stuttering microphone act being well received these days.

Absolutely Fear, I have a customer who has it, and it has turned an active member of his community into a shell of his former self. Simply terrible illness.
 
Amazing what happens when the brain starts falling out with the body. Very grizzly. My mate is a self made millionaire, a really driven and interesting character. He's beaten loads of adversities in life but this one? Nope, he fights as much as he can but not one to be beaten. He asked his doctor not long back how long he has got left. The doc said a fair amount of years but you might not want to be around come the end.

Ouch.

Makes you realise you have to enjoy what you have whilst you have it mate.
