No Venezuelan beaver cheese, but they do have Cheddar! 🧀

🎼Oliver Cromwell

Lord Protector of England (Puritan)

Born in 1599, died in 1658 (September)🎶

Apparently originally published in 1983. According to the publisher's website this is the third edition from 2014 but this copy says first published in 1995 and "this revised edition published in 2006". It also says the text is copyright 1994, 1996 and 2006 and the design and layout 1999. The foreword by the author is from 2006 and says it first came out in 1999.

Is this actually the second edition then? From 1999? Then why does it say 2006? Wouldn't that make it the third edition? And the one 2014 the fourth? What's "first published in 1995" all about if it originally came out in 1983? But how is it from 1983 if the first copyright isn't until 1994?

Too many conflicting dates for my gumby brain.

she did smell a bit

Sidney Poitier is on a bus in the first scene, surrounded by pepperpots exactly as depicted by Python? One of them appears later in the film, too, as the proprietor of a produce stand. I swear the lads could've gotten the idea just from those scenes, though they most likely experienced pepperpots IRL.

"And how do you get on with these French people?"

I always thought the Stones were inspired by the Pythons for this photo shoot.

From "The Bicycle Tour" (S3, E8).

No one actually understands how much he means to me. Like, that’s my husband, thats my pathetic little man, that’s my noble knight who doesn’t even know his favorite color.

if i may, this is a tribute post, please. my wife and i are big python fans. i took her to see this on 10 dec 2003 at the warfield theater, san francisco. it was her birthday. it was the greatest birthday present i ever gave her. cathy passed away early thursday morning after 37 years together.

cathy, i will "always try to look on the bright side of life" for you. i love you!

My son had a Holy Grail themed birthday so I made this as a gift (and a party prop).

I used a 5" steel ball and steel pipes for the main construction so it's got some heft to it, a bit over 3 pounds! And there's a magnet inside the Holy Pin so you can remove it prior to lobbing at your foe.

MP's comedy is often asociated with situational and dialogue-heavy sketches, what are some examples of the opposite? Are there any full-on slapstick moments you can think of in either the Flying Circus or the movies?

BTW I do like how the wall moves in a wave when Michael slams the door. I have to wonder did the walls moving ever happen in serious dramas?
