Dave,

Over the years, I have come to respect Marv on his knowledge about our culture and humour.

A quote from 'MP and the Holy Grail'

That could almost be classed as a modern day classic, like the old pharts quote Shakespeare's Hamlet, our generation quote MP.
But the 'dead parrot' is still my favouritest.

John

Yes John I'm aware....the scene at the bridge in the HG was what I was referring to....and his quote was not lost on me.
Loved the parraot!

We are the knights who say!......neee!........Fetch me a shrubbery!....not too tall..

;D So THAT's what's wrong with it... The rest of the MP crew is missing ;D

John, I'm aware of the - shall we say "normality" - that's found in the UK; in fact I quite enjoy a lot of it
9 years in my early career spent providing IT user support at our national broadcaster to the whole range of people found in such an environment (artists, reporters etc) prepared me well for life; I'm hard-pressed to be surprised by people's behaviour nowadays :big:

Must be in the beer Marv; they drink it warm...

Kind regards, Arnold

Do they still eat SPAM over there?

I have a couple of tapes with bagpipe music, if one of the employee's came in with a BIG head in the morning. I would drop a bagpipe or steam caliopi music in the shop speaker system, and give them something else to think about.

Bagpipe music is always moving on the soul.

But the 'dead parrot' is still my favouritest.

Indeed, although a rollicking good performance of the lumberjack song...

will still have me laughing until I hiccup.

Anybody remember John Cleese as the minister of silly walking?

I think of this sketch whenever I read of the government providing grants for especially silly arts or public works projects.

Those are awesome Marv....I remember them!

I was always a fan of the First Ascent of the North Face of the Uxbridge Road from my climbing days.
