A character in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy played by actor Jack Davenport. His full name is James Norrington.
In Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, he was a commodore in Port Royal. He was 'the scourge of piracy' according to Jack Davenport, but he was especially out to get Jack Sparrow. He was in love with Elizabeth Swann and proposed to her, but she left him for Will Turner.
In Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Norrington becomes a pirate after being fired from the Royal Navy for losing his ship and crew while trying to sail through a hurricane. He joins Jack Sparrow's crew and accompanies them until the end of the movie when he steals the Letters of Marque and the heart of Davy Jones, which he gives to Lord Beckett in order to regain his life in the Royal Navy.
In Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Norrington his re-hired and promoted to admiral for his services to Lord Beckett. When Elizabeth Swann and her crew are captured and kept aboard the Flying Dutchman, Norrington sets them free. As Elizabeth escapes, she asks Norrington to come with her. He sees Bootstrap Bill Turner coming and knows that whatever decision he make he will be in trouble. He tells Elizabeth, "Our destinies have been intertwined, Elizabeth, but never joined." and kisses her, then tells her to go. Elizabeth starts to leave, and then Bootstrap alerts the crew. Elizabeth sees what is happening and starts to come back, but to keep her from the crew of the Flying Dutchman, Norrington shoots the line Elizabeth is escaping on. He turns around again, only to be stabbed by Bootstrap Bill. He dies as Elizabeth escapes to the Empress.
Although not as well-liked as Jack Sparrow, Norrington has many fans. Some fans pair him with Elizabeth or Jack.

Get the Norrington mug.Torrington could be described as a run down ghetto with some nice middle class neighbrhoods and a few wealthy upper class neighborhoods/ developments. The "city" of Torrington has several dumpy plazas and strip malls along with the lack of any significant nightlife coupled with hardly any restaurants ! Unless you consider McDonalds and Burger King your restaurant of choice ! The closure of several major firms has left Torrington's local econamy stagnating and several other major manufacturers and retailers are considering leaving the area. The average income is around $40,000 and the population is around 35,000 and growing. Thankfully you can meet a lot of citizens who make more than $40,000 and live the lifestyle of most Americans !
Becka: U wanna go shopping in Torrington ?
Ashley: Omg no that crappy ass ghetto ?
Becka: Don't worry my cousin lives in a Gated Development there so don't worry bout getting mugged !

Get the norringtoned mug.This stems from the case of a certain Mr X, a plumber from Hitchin, Herts, UK, whose former girlfriend offered him a threesome as a birthday treat - except that on answering the door in expectation of his partner's friend, the extra person - who was male (sub-optimal, but not in itself fatal to the project), turned out instead to be expecting a homosexual encounter as Mr X's girlfriend was proposing merely to watch whilst Mr X had sex with the stranger - ie "A Dartington Threesome" is an M-M but no F threesome...".

Get the great torrington mug.by A non druggy November 18, 2018
Get the Durrington mug.Torrington is the asshole of Litchfield County. It totally fucking blows. It’s harboring the second highest number of mentally retarded citizens in CT and is the new found home of Waterbury’s rejects. And if you’re in need of a heroin fix or whatever’s on the menu, then the South End is for you. Cumby’s is right on the corner for when you get the munchies, as well as Dunkin’ Donuts and the Crack House (Coffee House). You can just walk your suspended licensed (DUI) ass across the fucking street.
Just over half of Torrington High’s crack head population ever graduate. They drop out due to either drugs, pregnancy, or they’re just straight up fucking stupid. And OWTS isn’t much of an improvement. The students carry a self righteous, pompous attitude and think they’re the shit. Just because you’re an A+ (A= Ass Kisser) student doesn’t mean you’re any better than the rest of them.
Those folks who do earn an honest living and own homes in the nicer neighborhoods wake up on the wrong side of the bed every morning because they don’t make quite enough to live in Litchfield. It burns their asses having to walk out their door only to face everything described above.
There’s no nightlife, no good restaurants, no good shopping, and no scenic views. There’s literally no reason to come here because there’s absolutely jack shit to do.
