The Pythons performed the Lumberjack song live here in Regina in the mid seventies and it was a huge hit. A friend of mine had a drink with them after the show and they were surprised to learn the RCMP Training Academy has been located here since 1885.
That probably inspired Michael Palin to increase his education by becoming a wandering TV travel presenter. He's done some great stuff since the Pythons broke up.
Monty Python is a strange one for me....some of it is very funny but I find the vast majority just plain weird & totally unfunny. Unpopular opinion I know - <prepare for abuse> lol Same as Reeves & Mortimer - I don’t get it!!!
Can’t print the full article but you’d like to get the twats who do this to animals 'Blind, beaten… but she was still beautiful' 6hrs ago ‘I knew I could help – Little did I know I’d fall in love with her,’ says Kasey Nowadays the tears fall readily as Kasey recounts the sheer horror Maggie has been through. It beggars belief that anyone could be so cruel. But in many countries dogs are treated like vermin. The fact they’ve been bred to be man’s best friend and trust us makes them easy prey. Often they’re just puppies when attacked, like Kasey’s new dog Millie, who was rescued from Russia. ‘We don’t fully know what she went through but someone shot her in the head – there are bullets in her skull and right eye, but low calibre so they didn’t kill her. Then someone maybe stomped on her face – her whole nose was smashed to pieces. She was found under a lean-to, screaming her heart out, trying to breathe but she was still friendly.’ The first Kasey knew of Millie was a video posted online by rescuers this new year. ‘I fell in love with her immediately. I must have left 12 to 13 messages about her. When they called it was overwhelming. I did think, “What have I done? Three dogs in less than two years!”’ Kasey got Wild At Heart involved and together they fundraised to bring Millie here and get her face fixed. She arrived in January and, while friendly, her face was a mess. ‘They’d got her stable in Russia, she still had her right eye and there was a metal tube acting as her nose. After three days she sneezed it out so I took her to a specialist vet. Ten days later she came home with just one eye and a nose made by turning the skin inwards. It works – Millie can always smell a treat!’ And there are no behavioural worries. From the moment she arrived, she’s been full of springy happiness. ‘She just wants to be with you. Her whole body wiggles when she says hello to a dog – she’s so glad to be alive. It was the same with Maggie. Both of them said to me, “I don’t want to die, don’t put me down” and now they’re both so happy.’ They’ve also become Instagram stars under the handles (430,000 followers) and (97,000). Maggie, now around six, has appeared on TV, met royalty (the Duke of Kent) and regularly visits care homes and the local university to cheer up residents and students. Millie, about a year and a half, will join her soon. please log in to view this image Maggie and kasey’s other rescue dog millie, left, have become instagram stars Kasey’s currently got two foster dogs along with her own three, and has given up the doggy daycare business to help Wild At Heart adopters with any aftercare they need. Not only has she the qualifications to do the job, but she’s living proof that love and the right training can turn any troubled dog into a happy one. Her own dogs and the countless others she’s helped prove the internet trolls – who tell Kasey she should have put them down – wrong. ‘When you read their stories on paper you might think, “Why put a dog through that?” but when you meet them, you get it. They want to live.’ Next Kasey wants to set up her own rescue charity. She even has a name planned for it – Wonky Dogs, because they’re the kind she’s drawn to. And no matter what they’ve been through before, they’ll be able to think themselves lucky they’re with her.

I'm a massive fan, but I know exactly what you mean. Some of it was just space filler on The Flying Circus. The Life of Brian is the funniest film ever made. From the first moment all the way through to the end. Genius

Bang On Like you I occasionally found the python stuff funny, but almost like it was an accident as most of it was...a bit ****. Mortimer on his own is pretty funny, and I liked his fishing programme. Vic Reeves? Overrated pretentious unfunny bore. {stands shoulder to shoulder with Chelsea, beckoning the surrealists on to sort it out toe to toe}
****ing hell that’s a formidable door team. “Fan of surrealist comedy?...sorry, you’re barred, move along”
I'd argue with you lads but I'm a bit skint at the moment. Well I could maybe afford the five minute argument, but not the hour one...
Q, How many surrealists can you fit into a phone box? A, A fish. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
