Seriously though, children are so lucky these days. The gadgets they have in their bedrooms . . .

All I had was an electric organ.

must have given you a buzz when played eh?

by Guest Fri 19 Dec 2008, 05:22

I had quite a talent. The neighbours often used to come in and watch.

Did the organ light up in different colours?

I hope you charged them

My mum still loves to tell the story of when I copied the Monty Python sketch where one of them sits naked at the organ.

You look like Terry Jones?!?!

by Guest Fri 19 Dec 2008, 22:38

That's right, it was Terry Jones!

My word, his erse looks big on that!

by Guest Fri 19 Dec 2008, 23:17

Yes, well that's the bit that looks like me.
Uncanny really.

by PeterCS Fri 19 Dec 2008, 23:18

Well, I was hoping it wasn't the wig Very Happy

by Guest Fri 19 Dec 2008, 23:19

Lucky I couldn't get a bigger picture!

by PeterCS Fri 19 Dec 2008, 23:21

Of Terry, I suppose you mean. ...

Mr Jones has gone on to bigger things.

The Crusades, Chaucer, the Middle Ages generally. Brilliant stuff actually.

I believe he is recovering from bowel cancer.

by lardbucket Sun 21 Dec 2008, 00:30

Always the quiet genius of Python, and Ripping Yarns; I hope he recovers well.

He liked to get naked, didn't he? His silent gymnosophist ascetic rapidly became voluble when Brian fell in this hole ...

I hope he recovers quickly too. ... He had a short series on recently. But it's difficult to know sometimes how new/old they are. Even when they are year-badged at the end.

by HH_pink Sun 21 Dec 2008, 05:18

What's your point?

by PeterCS Sun 21 Dec 2008, 12:36

Terry Jones has been seriously ill, apparently.

If the series is brand new and recently filmed, he is presumably well on the road to recovery.

If the series was made before he became seriously ill, it's hard to see how far his recovery has come.

Got it?

Are you all wearing Santa hats and dangly earrings?

by lardbucket Tue 23 Dec 2008, 11:52

Yes, and that's all.
