To all you Muthers!! boozin

Mothers Day in Aus today (Sunday 8th May) but Google tells me this:

United Kingdom/England: Mother's Day is called Mothering Sunday and falls on the fourth Sunday in Lent.

I have no farquin clue what that means, being the heathen that I am, so if that's today in Engulund, well played to the English Mums.

Apparently taips' Mum celebrated this day last Sunday.

In the Uk, Mothering Sunday falls three weeks before easter. It was on 3rd April this year. Why you heathens have to be different is anyone's guess

Lent lasts 40 days, skully ... didn't you learn that from Python? And it finishes at Easter time.

You know we've been ignoring, nay rebelling against, you Imperialists for centuries. Cool

Ignore lardy, Skulls. He's just on the lent.

I can't find the scene where Chapman exits pursued by an alarmingly naked Jones, blithering constantly about how he's been silent for so long ...

but this is genius:

What else do you need to know about religion?

Skully needs to know where to sign.

So, John Cleese to play OBL in a biopic then?

by lardbucket Sun 08 May 2011, 01:42

With Terry Jones as his deputy ...

and Michael Palin as George Bush?

Terry Gilliam to play Dubya.

by lardbucket Sun 08 May 2011, 01:52

If he could be coaxed back, Eric Idle to play Blair.

by PeterCS Sun 08 May 2011, 02:01

But Eric doesn't deserve strangling.

Chiding for his sillier acts possibly - but not strangling. That's not on.
