**Mr. Wensleydale** : Proprietor of the Cheese Shop. A great cheese by the way.  
**Venezuelan Beaver Cheese** : The only fake cheese in the sketch.  
**Owl-Stretching Time** : An alternate name that was considered for Monty Python’s Flying Circus.  
**Nudge Nudge** : wink wink, know what I mean, know what I mean, say no more, say no more!  
**Brave Sir Robin** : Holy Grail of course.  
**Alms for an ex-leper** : I got better.

\*\*Nava \*\* are you sure you would not like **The Spanish Inquisition** , I guess you were not expecting that? 😃

Yes, I got it at Harrod’s, but since I’m going into either banking or insurance I won’t be needing it.

What was the name of the guy who was leading the expedition to Mt. Kilimanjaro to search for last year’s expedition, who went there to build a bridge between the two peaks?

It’s from one of the albums, something about selling string. **Monty Python’s  
Contractual Obligation Album**, I think.

of course, as I’m typing this the entire skit comes to mind. Would that my brain (which hurts) could do that with actual work-related things.

It’s from The Final Rip-Off; a send-up of advertising called [String](http://www.ibras.dk/montypython/finalripoff.htm#String). Really quite hilarious. I haven’t actually seen this one, but a very good friend gave me the CD, which has got much repeat play.
