neither causes terminal indigestion in the other.

Well indeed, wsieb, if you don't do as mummy said - chop your food up properly and chew it at least 200 times - you get what's coming to you..

*waggles eyebrows* - Yes Auntie, Max, I meant to mention the Marx Bros, and in particular Day at the Races. Seen time and again, and still enjoyed..

..but nothing like as much as Holy Grail bel!
"Come back here you coward, I'll bite your legs off!"
"What is the flight velocity of an unladen swallow?"
"It's a rabbit!"
Heck, you and Max have provided references to the originals and much more anyway. Thanks so much for that.


This is always dangerous territory, where it's so easy to end up on a major YART that (as Jo implied elsewhere) consists largely of quoting entire episodes word for word!

Maybe we should set up a Monty P thread, which we can build up, and to which we can always refer, at times like this.
Only it would be a Gilliam-type monster of a thread.

>I'm sure that Dr Spooner would refer to the two candidates as Gush and Bore.

That makes me wonder if voting for Nader would help to get rid of all of the sex and violence in the race (Bush and Gore)

PLOPPPPP (the sound of TEd hitting the gutter yet again)

>Cheese Shop is right up there

Cleese and Palin were so good together; viz. The Pet Store ("This parrot is deceased!").
I think Cleese turned 61 today... [aaaaarrrrgggh!!]

Not to worry, Shanks, I was using reference books, not my memory.

Miss Purviance was mainly in Chaplin's shorts (please don't take this the wrong way!) plus The kid and Limelight (not as star). She died in 1958. The leading ladies in his other features were Georgia Hale (The gold rush), Merna Kennedy (The circus), Virginia Cherrill (City Lights), Paulette Goddard (The great dictator), Martha Raye (Monsieur Verdoux), Claire Bloom (Limelight), Dawn Addams (A king in New York) and Sophia Loren (A countess from Hong Kong).
