Still occasionally pull out my copy of "T*Ts and B*ms - A Weekly Look at Church Architecture" “The Brand New Monty Python Bok” for a flick through... I remember the shop assistant trying to rub out the grubby finger prints on the cover when I first bought it, her not realising they were printed on.

Does anyone do that stuff now? Or the equivalent of having a double grooved side record?
They had fun having fun!

Quite how someone can NOT laugh at The Holy Handgrenade of Antioch or It a Wee Vicious Beastie, the Black Knight, Brave Sir Robin, Splitters! or the legendar Bigus Dickus scene I havent a scooby. It is a particularly dull person who isnt reduced to tears by Welease Woderick!

There are a few of those on the Comedy Carpet in Blackpool. Utter brilliance.

Fingers crossed that I can get tickets on Monday. I've booked a half hour slot in my calendar so no fecker tries to distract me with irritatingly useless business meetings. Its in the calendar as Qatar/Streep investigations.

Assuming I do manage to get a ticket, I've never been to the O2. No idea what you'd possibly get for £95 that you wouldn't with a £27 ticket.

The O2 is so big the cheap tickets are so far away they don't have seat number but a different postcode!
there will be big screens though.

Guess I'll just see whats available, main thing is just to be there. Last chance to see ... until they decide they want another house, or Cleese gets another divorce organised.

One of my neighbours was in the choir for the Lumberjack song.

Did anyone else on this thread see them live at Drury Lane in the 1970's?

I was about 8 or 9 nine years old at the time - my Mum organised a coach and about 20+ of us went up from our road.

All I remember is Cleese doing the 'stormy petrel on a stick' while wandering through the stalls. Somewhere we have the original programme which was printed on a A2 or poster size IIRC.

Happy dayz.

Will be interesting to see how this progresses, most of them hate each other but are so broke from divorce etc that they need the cash.

I don't think they hate each other. They've probably all got individual foibles that irritate the others though.

[Halb]

There are groups in the groups. Cleese and Graham, Jones and Palin, Gilliam and Idle as loners.
There was creative friction twixt Cleese/Palin-Jones, and Gilliam/Jones. Never read anything about hatred.

[Robbo66]

I do getting the impression that Cleese could have been and is an extremely challenging person to warm to.
