Breaking News

Norman has just received this exciting 'normail' from a corresopndent Up North citing tales of Another Norman.
I quote 'When Norman of Grimsby went missing many years ago his "owner" was frustrated beyond belief as he really wasn't 100% sure who has "sprung" Norm from beside the garden pond. And of course, all those involved (there were 5 of us plus many many "helpers") denied any involvement and were very convincing liars!

Norm was on the run for quite some time and sent postcards to his frustrated owner from all over the world. He even telephoned home on Christmas day to apologise for not being able to make it for Christmas Dinner.

I'm worried to see that your Norman has decided to hibernate though. I believe this could be a cunning plan. Please watch him very VERY carefully. He may use this as an excuse to slip away un-noticed. You may not even notice he's gone until spring...'


Norman has been quite hyper since receiving this news and I have had to sedate him with a log fire and promises of a Hardy Reel if he's good and doesn't abscond up North.

Do you think he needs chaining again or am I being paranoid that he might get out of control?

Looks like Norm of Grimsby saw Amelie and got the idea of sending his postcards. Has Norman seen her?

Civil rights lawyers in London have been alerted to the plight of Norman and an application for Habeus Gnomus is to be made immediately for his release. His lawyer is quoted as saying "This ingnoman and degrading treatment simply can't be tolerated. This is Brighton, not Guantanimo Bay, we don't have detention without trial here, for gnomes or otherwise. Norman has not been charged with any offence and being in mere possession of a fishing rod is not yet illegal."
