Moderators Bravus Posted March 5, 2009 Moderators Posted March 5, 2009 So I can quote Monty Python sketches, of course! "Absolute executive authority arises from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony" "Now begone, or I shall taunt you a second time-eh" Quote Truth is important
Administrators Gail Posted March 5, 2009 Administrators Posted March 5, 2009 Yep- the Spam sketch, the one with the Pet shop owner who sold the dead parrot, the Cheese shop with no cheese, Blancmange, and Dandas Moore who robbed lupines from the rich to give to the poor. Then there was the man with 3 buttocks- a 50% bonus!! Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Amelia Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Welsh town screens Monty Python film after 30-year ban 1 March, 2008 LONDON (AFP) — A Welsh town which banned the classic Monty Python movie "Life of Brian" 30 years ago has decided to screen it later this month, the mayor said Sunday -- and two of the original Pythons will attend. Michael Palin and Terry Jones are expected to travel to Aberystwyth, west Wales, for the screening on March 28 after being invited by mayor Sue Jones-Davies -- herself a star of the film, having played Brian's girlfriend. It is thought the 1979 comedy, which critics said was blasphemous for telling the story of a Jewish man who is mistaken for Jesus and crucified, was banned by a committee of Church leaders in the town. "Life of Brian" is now viewed as a classic and includes oft-quoted lines such as Brian's mother's quip on her son: "He's not the messiah -- he's a very naughty boy", as well as the jaunty song "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life", sung by Eric Idle as he and Brian are nailed to crosses at the end. No one thought to revoke the ban because few people realised it still stood, until last year. Jones-Davies vowed to fight for the film, and has organised the one-off screening for charity at Aberystwyth Arts Centre. "We decided that we might as well go on with it and see if we could arrange a screening in Aberystwyth," she said. She telephoned Jones and invited him to come along, recalling: "He said 'I think I'll ask Michael (Palin) to come', which is lovely because it makes it all more special." Graham Chapman, who played Brian in the film, died in 1989. Jones-Davies said only about 120 tickets were available, adding: "It will be a great evening and it is about time the film was shown anyway."
