Norman on Twitter

[redhead85]

Did anyone see his latest grumpy tweet?

“I’m not on twitter to talk about Red Dwarf”

No idea where it that came from – presumably people were asking for his thoughts on the potential new series? But his attitude did annoy me – he’s effectively famous because of the show and now refuses to acknowledge it. Yet on his profile, he terms himself as ‘Stand-Up Comedian – Actor – Red Dwarf Computer – Moaning Old Git’.

So I replied saying:

“Perhaps remove refs to Red Dwarf on your profile then? So people don’t talk about things you’re not willing to discuss?”

He hasn’t replied. Yet.

Clearly it’s a matter of principles.

He doesn’t want to be known just for Dwarf and feels he was mistreated by GNP blah blah blah…

Obviousley, if there’s a tenner in it for a signed ‘Holly’ photo or if it helps sell a book or a show then principles go out of the window..

With me slowly losing my greying hair (hey I’m 27, excuse me while I weep…) perhaps my greatest fear is that I will become Norman. Before long I’ll be telling the ‘legit’ story…

I saw that too.
I can’t decide whether it’s to fend off the RD fans, as you say, or whether it’s quite deliberate so that his name will come up when someone does a search on RD.

Or am I being way too cynical?

So tell me. “I, Lovett”. What went wrong?…..what else is there to talk about? He may as well just close the account!

I started losing mine at 18-19. It’s nowhere near Mr Lovett’s now I’m 35 though. I think it’s slowed down. Hopefully I won’t lose much more. I’m lucky at having no noticeable grey hairs though. (I noticed some that might be grey but it’s difficult to tell as I have some blond strands in with the brown.)

I’m 31, not grey, but with an alarming bald patch.

Totally irrelevant, but it looks a bit better than just typing ‘Norman Lovett is a bitter, miserable old bastard’.

Whoops.

The ‘ex’ Red Dwarf star, Norman Lovett
Told Naylor and Co they should shove it
But at ‘Mania 4’
He’ll be Holly once more
Thus, clearly he’s rising above it !

Ladies and gentleman, Steve Harris.

Well done, Darling!
