Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Terry Jones of Monty Python passed away. I know he has been ill. I saw Michael Palin last year and he spoke of Terry being ill. I have loved Monty Python since I was a wee lad and I have always looked up to, and been inspired by them. This is very sad news 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Very sad news indeed, another urn the rest of the Pythons have to carry to Aspen. Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumm Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Sad news, but alas not unexpected... Unlike the Spanish Inquisition! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusMac Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Very sad. It's not been a good month so far with this following Neil Peart. Two brilliant polymaths both gone to brain diseases! Life throws up some real shitty ironies sometimes! Farewell Mr Creosote 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Sad news, yet he will keep us laughing for a very very very long time. What more could he have expected (besides the Spanish Inquisition) ? Hubert 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARU 5137 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I have never watched the show but it's always sad to see someone in the showbusiness pass away whether they're drummers or actors. Rest In Peace. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wumm Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 It's not for everyone. And it doesn't mean you lack a sense of humour if it's not for you. Python is of a certain time and place. If you 'got it' and were privy to it at that time and place... It is simply timeless and ubiquitous. No matter how lame or infantile it might seem when compared to what's accepted as funny these days. The absurdity of conducting a major motion picture, and all of the logistics involved; whilst skipping along in full costume, yet like a child pretending to be riding a horse and making your own clip-clop noises! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 26, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 26, 2020 I got it. I’ve always “gotten” dry British humour. I have been blessed with being able to see situations developing and be able to occasionally work the situation into hilarious culmination. One more often than not lost on my American brethren. Early Python was there for me during my military days. We laughed like fiends and it kept us going throughout the most stressful of deployments. My platoon could recite entire 2 hour soundtracks word by word. But sir, it’s just wahhfer thin.... RIP My Good Man..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 At least watch the fish dance. The utter absurdity is wonderful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
