@DIGITALIS MAXIMUS

Did you sample the deep fried Mars Bars as well?

Scottish cuisine is very much like making love to a beautiful woman....you don't need much finesse, just plenty of gusto.

This is a local board for local people.

However, at the moment I am in Istanbul, not Constantinople, watching it on BBCPrime.

I never thought I would love a comedy troupe as much as Python until I saw my first episode of LoG.

~BTW Hello, everyone. I'm new here. Been reading posts for about a week now. Love this site and I must say all of you have the most wicked senses of humor. I especially love the "trophies" you guys manage to snag. I haven't laughed this hard in years!

^^^ welcome to the forum (fora?). I have the pleasure Question

of living not too far away from where the series was filmed. I even buy my meat from a local butcher!

Until a short time ago my favorite Python sketch was the "Deja Vu" sketch, but I had only seen it once.

When I finally saw it again, I didn't find it so funny. There's something deeply Python about that.

^^^My favourite is any sketch featuring Carol Cleveland in here skimpies.

I love the big song and dance number in Meaning of Life

"Every sperm is sacred"

Almost all the best songs are in it too, I like "Its Christmas in Heaven"

I actually think The Meaning of Life is underated, it does have the wafer thin mint scene in it after all!

"But sir, it is only waaafer theeen!"

Upon requesting proof that the captive was a witch...
"She turned me into a newt!"

....."I got better..."

BEDEVERE:
So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?
VILLAGER :
Build a bridge out of her.

The witch scene is the most hilarious scene in any film ever.

Thank you for the welcome, Imike.

I hope you do not develop any nose bleeds from consuming the meat bought at your local butcher!

BTW, Imike, who is your least liked character? I'm torn between Pauline and Judee Levinson.

My favorites are poor sweet but stupid Mickey and Pamela Doove.

Nah, just fat. Least favourite character? - I find Pauline very funny but damn annoying - I know too many management types like her! My eldest daughter gets totally freaked out by Papa Lazarou - after the first time she saw it, she went to bed & I stuck my head around the door - "Hello Daaaaaaaavvve" Laughing

Poor sod nearly sh*t herself! Twisted Evil

BTW - apologies to everyone for the minor thread hijack - maybe sheila & I should get a room? Wink

This is a decent town and a local shop! We'll have none of this trouble here!

I don't know anything! Now if you excuse me, the shop is local.

Oh its half past 9! Time for men, men with jobs to go to work! Other men, stay in bed till dinner time, watching Tots TV, thinking how worthless and pathetic they are. Good morning jobseekers!

And the ultimate:
We'll tell daddy you've been naughty. Shaking hands with the Governer of Love.

This line can only be heard from 9 year old twins straight from the Shining.

Also, I was raised on Python, Red Dwarf, Drop the Dead Donkey, Father Ted, basically all of the creme de la creme of Britain.

Must admit, I thought the film was a bit of a let - down. Sad

Annoying Stuck-Up Cow Joined: 10 Aug 2006 Posts: 222

The film was ok, I think we were spoiler rather with the quality before. It was still a good laugh to me, and plus there were some brilliant comic moments.

But I will look fondly upon the glory days of series 1 and 2...

Monty Python will--for me--always be the creme de la creme of British humor!

"What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow...."

(Talk about classic lines...)

Life of Brian is probably the best British comedy film of all time, so there Smile

The Philosopher's Song... I remember it fondly because of a party where I was suddenly popular because I knew the words!

Quote:

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'bout the raisin' of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
on half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away,
half a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his Dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am."

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.

Best line from Life of Brian: Crucifixion? Good. Line on the left, one cross each.
Best line from The meaning of life: F*** **f I'm full.
Best line from Holy grail: It's too hard to wittle this one down to just one line.

@iMike: Your avatar is my fave. I can I can't?

Posted: Sun May 13, 2007 4:06 am

I loved the Holy Grail! The stuff about coconuts and sparrows at the beginning was unbelievable! I love Monty Python in general overall, their humour is crazy!

Posted: Sun May 13, 2007 4:10 am

Best line from Life of Brian

"He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!"

Or :

"The popular peoples front of Judea.....where are they nowadays?"
"He's over there"

I found this spoon sir.

OK, Life of Brian goes on the DVD Very Happy

I'm off to the UK in a couple of weeks (woohoo) and my brother's picking us up at the airport. He emailed me to ask which terminal.
My reply?

I do wish you'd listen, it's perfectly simple. We shall be arriving at Terminal 4, that is unless Terminal 5 is in operation. If terminal 5 is in operation, then you should first check, with your younger sister as to whether terminal 4 is in fact the destination you should be heading. As long as terminal 4 is the terminal that is accepting flights from Singapore, and not terminal 5, then terminal 4 shall be the terminal of arrival.

Thou shall proceed straight to 4 and 4 is where thou shall proceed.

Terminal 2 is right out.

(Well, it made me laugh..)
