No I didn't--it's unfinishable. Poor man ended up having no less than four attempts on his life by intelligence services. Who have given up their important spy work to concentrate on people who speak about themselves in the third person, write conspiracy innuendo with all the names blacked out and show exactly why we needed the internet in the first place (to relieve the burden on self publishers). ~MartinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21065634.post-85607619298279075792010-09-13T16:39:24.762+09:302010-09-13T16:39:24.762+09:30I admire Norm's willingness to be a self publi...I admire Norm's willingness to be a self published pauper, particularly his pursuit of unfavorable subjects. If I didn't have better things to do I'd probably do the same. However I wouldn't advertise through graffiti (I saw one of his ads in a stall at Flinders), let alone bring attention to it by refusing to flush. Which brings me to the second great thing about Norm; enjoying his work without ever having to contact him in any form. ~MartinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21065634.post-22825468596846444362010-09-12T20:06:09.066+09:302010-09-12T20:06:09.066+09:30And then there was the Today Tonight "intervi...And then there was the Today Tonight "interview" which was little more than a camera crew chasing him around the Arndale car park and the reserve at the end of the Port River canal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21065634.post-25995884009890813792010-09-09T20:31:48.657+09:302010-09-09T20:31:48.657+09:30Here are the ones held at public libraries.

I then promised to wipe his graffiti off the walls with his face.<br /><br />I've seen the psychic healer book, but am still looking for the dole book. Mind you I'd not be surprised to learn if certain Govt departments advocate violence against ole Normie himself.Your Own Personal Jesusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21065634.post-11079946547921625282010-09-05T18:32:33.098+09:302010-09-05T18:32:33.098+09:30Norm Barber. My partner and I used to get a good ...Norm Barber. My partner and I used to get a good laugh from his self published books (one mistakenly lists a grumpy relative's address as a psychic healer) until he published a book suggesting extreme violence against public servants, and a client moved in across the road. And would stand in front of our place watching us night and day. Armed with an axe. While we were carrying a newborn. <br /><br />I'd already had a run in when I was doing work experience for a certain wine and cheese Review newspaper in Adelaide, and Norm came in to politely and totally appropriately inquire as to why I hadn't printed his article. Because work experience kids often make such executive decisions.<br /><br />My friends who worked for the DSS considered Sawyer little better. Their attitude to his many, many dysfunctional scams was "Try it.". ~MartinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
