BBC thought Python was "sadistic" and "disgusting"

Oh great! :rolleyes: Elendil’s Heir, just put a bag on his head. :mad: Thanks a lot! Now I’ll have to stand in the tea chest.
“…and did those feet, in ancient times, walk upon England’s mountain green…”

It is now time for this Cafe Society thread to explode.

BOOM!

can I just say that this is in fact the first time I’ve been on this thread?

Oh look, this isn’t even a proper thread!

A thread is a meaningful series of posts intended to elucidate the question raised in the OP, or to debate the point at issue. It’s not just a load of people quoting old bits of sketches from a TV show.

Tis

Si

No it isn’t.

yes— but we are fighting ignorance! Some people may have forgotten some of the quotes.
And, rememberl, it is impossible to kill this thread. Because this thread cannot die–it can only go pining for the fjords, pushing up daisies, join the choir invisible,pushing up daisies, etc,etc etc…

No, I’m sorry, there’s no time.

Well, I for one wish to thank the BBB for having the bourage to broadbast “Monty Pythons Flying Birbus”, even if it was sadistib and disgusting. If they hadn’t, I wouldn’t apprebiate this thread.

Naturally, they did show the program on the Siamese Bat (an altogether more dangerous breature) , and left me in this state, talking like a silly bunt.

I’m sadistic & disgusting and I’m OK/
I work all night and I sleep all day…

Defeat in the “Airplane on a Treadmill” column seems to have utterly disheartened Cecil Adams. The ferocity of the taunting by the uneducated took him completely by surprise, and Adams became convinced that a new strategy was required if the quest to Eradicate Ignorance were to be brought to a successful conclusion. Adams, having consulted his closest SDSABs, decided that they should separate, and produce columns individually.

Now, this is what they did: C K Dexter Hav-- Aaaah! :: dies ::

On second thought, let’s not get online. 'Tis a silly place.

Can you lend us a tenner
so I can get the Telegraph
and read about Python
with my morning scone?

a postal order.
Hope all is well with
your sciatica.
Love,

Not at all. It’s not even a proper post.
