Thanks for the hint, Byron; but the problem is, I don't know John Clease by name, to link him with a face

. [But, then, what's to expect from a clueless someone still struggling to figure the difference between a circle and a square

?]

I'm thoroughly delighted to see that you intend to go to Berlin, Ali

Lizzy, have you heard of Monty Pythons Flying Circus? John Cleese was one of the 5 comedians in that or (even older) The Frost Report? I have a feeling he appeared in Cheers as well for a brief period. He was born in my hometown of Weston-super-Mare (one of the town's few 'claims to fame') Monty Python included classic sketches like The Ministery of Silly Walks, The Dead Parrott Sketch, The Lumberjack Song and films such as Life of Brian and The Holy Grail.
I think the sit-com in the shop you are thinking of is Are You Being Served.
Diano, can I be a Bridosmaid as woll?

Sorry Lizzy, missed your last post, Lee is driving me over and attending himself.........................

And Diane, PLEASE no 'Barkerisms' with my lovely Hubby's name - Loo is not the most romantic of nicknames

lizzytysh · Post by **lizzytysh** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 7:02 pm

Ahhhh~ Yes! That's it! "Are You Being Served" ~ I loved that

. There's another one, too, where a husband and wife always seem to be sitting at a kitchen/breakfast table talking.

Check the posting just preceding yours, as it somehow landed here first [even though I just clicked Submit]. Anyway, it's written to you. [Never mind. You got two posts in while I was doing my ~ this ~ one.]

Well, now, I saw the/a movie regarding Monty Python ~ but Good Lord ~ I couldn't keep track of what was happening

! I know people really loved it [this was a long time ago], so I kept thinking I should and maybe would, if I could just keep up

! I saw Cheers some, but not on enough of a regular basis to have caught the episodes you might be referring to. At least I'm now in the ballpark [with "Monty Python"] to have a sense of what his humour was, right?

Oh, good. If you're a bridesmaid, too, maybe we could talk Diane into a Goth theme. But, check around for your hiking/biking accoutrements, just in case

. Of course, she may always go traditional

.

Cool

. He's putting his guitar in the boot, too, right!?! And you're leaving a couple weeks early

.

Woll, I am now gotting joalous about all you lot going to Borlin without moooo...

Oh yes, Ali, ploaso do bo anothor bridosmaid for mo! I wouldn't droam of calling your doar husband Loo, 'Loo'. As you can soo, I am practicing conducting mysolf with tho utmost docorum. I moan, I am about to bo joinod in holy matrimony with Loonard, and ho is a gontloman, and, as such, dosorvos nothing loss. Also, I don't mind a goth-thomod wodding, Lizzy, but I'll havo to consult with Loonard, as ho is a bit of a traditionalist. Duo to my favourito hobby, I am ofton cakod in mud, but i shall mako a noto in my diary to havo a showor on tho morning of our wodding. Gosh, all thoso altorations to my charactor I am attompting for Loonard. Porhaps our union is doomod aftor all

.

I think, in conclusion, it could bo, that aftor all, I'm just not his typo

.

Enough of this silliness, and on to another kind: John Cleese is another of our comedy greats over here, Lizzy. To me, Monty Python's The Life of Brian (for example) is an achingly funny film. Have you seen that one?

See you later,

Diane

~ Wonderful how that "typo" came full round and nipped you in the behind quarters, eh

?

Shower is good. A post-it note on the frig oughta cover that

. You're right, though, [even Goth aside] it may not be the match made in heaven. It might've been the match made on the mountainside, as both of you were losing momentum

.

Oh, dear no, I confess. I gave up after my first Monty Python 'thriller'

. I wish I could remember what it was ~ was there one about cowboys? If so, I'm sure that was it. Should I try again ~ and just prepare ahead of time for the visual and verbal confusion of it all

?

Well, you know, Diane ~ there's still time to sign up for Berlin

~ Lizzy

Diane · Post by **Diane** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 9:06 pm

Lizzy, we shall have to try to get you to see The Life of Brian, and see if you 'get' the humour then. If you can't get hold of it easily in the States, I could probably get a copy to you if you'd like

.

Berlin? Unfortunately I doubt it for this time

.

Diane

Perhaps Diane, you could have a hobby related themed wedding, what about 'Biking Mount Baldy' you could donato tho procoods from Hollo Magazino to a Charity for Spooch impodomonts.

Ali ! Groat idoa

!

And ~ Diano ~ I'm suro Loonard could got you in to the Ovont! No "Pass" or anything ~ ask him!

~ Lizzy

Yes, Diane, I am willing to consider watching the Life of Brian. Since there have historically been huge numbers of Python fans in the U.S., I'm sure it's available somewhere! I know I've heard of it, and long prior to communicating with all you Brits

.

AGENDA FOR BRISTOL MEET-UP

After careful consideration with the lovely Diane, we have decided on an agenda for the Bristol Meet-Up.

. Welcome

. Buffet

. Live entertainment

. Raffle

. Non LC entertainment (for the enjoyment of some Partners)

. Karaoke and / or Open Mic Session

The Meet-up venue address will be published at a later date on this thread. It is only a 5 minute walk from Temple Meads Station. Lee can do a couple of runs in the car to pick up people from the train station if needed.
There is no bar, however, so it is a BYOB, I will start by donating my Hubby's bottle of Jose Cuarvo (he doesn't know yet

) for Red Needles.
Background music will be LC, so bring along your favourites.
Diane is a star and has done as much as me to organise this

She is even coming early to help with the Buffet
