Spam's off....

(and so are the tickets)

I loved Monty Python back when I was a teenager. Now? Like a TV series that goes past season 5, there is a natural been-there-done-that to pretty much anything, and the glory days can't be recreated. Cashing in on nostalgia.

No kidding! Take that reunion tour anyone? Rolling Stones/Status Quo/(insert suitable other) Farewell Tour (no really, this IS the final farewell tour, the last farewell tour was just the farewell warm-up tour). Re-launching the Rubik cube, space-hopper and chopper?

Nostalgia sells.

Nostalgia sells.

nah - nostalgia's not as good as it used to be....

[burble]

good work. Is that your ebay account with them going for £1k each then?

Are you always so quick to jump to conclusions?? NO! My other half and I very much looking forward to going to the show.

Easy there, just being silly. No conclusion jumped to - was a joke. If I had tickets I would be grinning like a cheshire cat and skipping off to watch them do the herring dance and regale us with a complete history of ballooning amongst others.

?........I can speak aloud in a room full of strangers, whereupon the whole room will then chip in and respond with a whole string of sketch dialogue (or song).....

Didn't you just describe pantomime?

[Spreadie]

Yes... it was all very different, before it all changed.

Sorry, guess I shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions

no worries. Enjoy the show.

Oh no I didn't...

Oh no I didn't...

There are lost tribes in deepest, darkest Africa that could see that one coming. Oh well, now I know why MPFC appeals to you

I went to see one of John Cleese's Alimony Tour shows. Quite frankly, I was happy to pay the money just to be in the same room as him.

It was epic and I was nervous before he came on stage. I don't have many heroes, but he's one and Python were extremely important to me and my sense of humour.

Good luck to them, I think this is great news and I hope it makes them a lot of money!

Dear Lord.

But wait, I'm prepared to admit it if you can quote some MPFC humour that makes me laugh. To help, I'll admit that the lisping 'Biggus Dickus' sketch did make me snigger.

ps I just googled the 25 'funniest' Python lines and gave up after No 6. It was like being trapped in a Groundhog Day of spoilt kid middle class tedium.

[pollaxe]

Frankly, if MP doesn't make you laugh then you have no soul and are a hopeless cause!

How about Spike Milligan...?

Does. Not. Compute.
