Short guide to the city Of Naaaaridge
broadssailor
Norwich (pronounced Naaaaaaridge) in the southeast of England was
invented in 1923 and is kept in Norfolk where it has lived for the
past
83 years.
Norwich has a population of approximately 2500 of which 2438 are
related to each other and the rest are classed as Furriners who have
decided to settle in Norwich from beyond the great Horizon.
Many people still believe that if you travel past Thetford (The Great
Horizon) you will fall off the edge of the world and be devoured by
DELIA the Great Star Goat.
Norwich was built by Nicholas Parsons, a man of the cloth for
somewhere to keep his racing pigeons. The project, however, soon grew
and rapidly became a sprawling city filled with "Pointless Super
Heroes". These Include: (if you're from Norwich you WILL know these
people!!)
THE PUPPET MAN
Special Ability: Hypno-puppets that stun and mesmerise passers by with
their inane jumping up and down to Des O Connor Cd's. He is actually a
multi-millionaire, having left his successful career as a merchant
banker to "give something back to the people"
FLUTE MAN
Special ability: Plays a flute at ranges far beyond those of the human
ear Unfortunately the ones that are in the range of the human ear are
vastly out of tune.
BAG WOMAN
Special Ability: Knockout BO Has a huge array of technical gadgetry
hidden away in her shopping trolley full of various, mysterious bags.
MARIGOLD
Special Ability: Traffic Direction Although no longer around, MARIGOLD
was one of the true Norwich Super Heroes, equipped with a fluorescent
jacket or vest and bright yellow marigold gloves, you would find him,
in
times of National Emergency, defending the City by standing on a
traffic
roundabout directing the traffic. Unfortunately, quite a few people
actually took notice of what he was telling them to do, resulting in
the
building of Norwich Union Insurance Department.
THE INCREDIBLE MARKET TWINS
Special Ability: Flower Selling although conceived during a
radioactive storm and genetically altered to look identical, these
dynamic duo are far from it. Dressed in their costumes, Green & yellow
for one, Blue & White for another, these colourful fengibbons are
anything but identical.
RADIO HAMMAN
This remarkable chap loves his sport so much he's a wannabe
commentator, also known to be a bit of a Karaoke king, using not a
microphone but an old 1970's transistor radio glued to one ear, you've
gotta love this guy, who provides entertainment when waiting for a bus
outside the central big 'D' department store.

I understand that Marigold was, before he was injured in a RTA, a
college lecturer.

Donkey.

Said to anyone one suspects of being a Dumpling, to which the correct

I remember The Singing Postman on "About Anglia", "Hev yew got a loight,
boiy?", but that is, I guess, Norfolkian, rather than just Narridge.
There are some unusual spellings of "New Orleans", such as "Narlins", in
the music of Captain Beefheart.
