Was thinking yesterday that I haven’t been to the theatre for ages when I remembered I saw Nation all of two weeks ago, and I’m going to the National again to see Mother Courage on Saturday – and in both cases, the ticket money came out of last months’ wages, which is reassuring. The counsellor [...]
"Arguments are an intellectual process. Contradiction is just an automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says." Monty Python Regular readers will recall that I've an affinity with rank and file Lib Dems, many of whose attitude I found rather refreshing in Bournemouth, though if I see genial characters like Carl Minns , Charlotte Gore , Julian Harris etc. again, I will be claiming...
I was having a chat with someone who seemed to believe apology was only about Christian apologetics. It isn't, as the examples in this comment point out. The definition I would hang with in the set was from Wiki : In modern times, apologists refers to authors, writers, editors of scientific logs or academic journals, and leaders known for defending the points in arguments, conflicts or positions that...
When I was watching a Magpie strutting round the lawn it reminded me of John Cleese's Ministry of Silly Walks sketch in Monty Python's Flying Circus. For those who have never seen the sketch it can be found HERE on YouTube. As the Starlings had emptied the Coconut of its contents I put a fat ball inside it but there were no takers. Today I thought I would put some dried mealworms in to see who would...

Pages 218 Published by Black Swan in 1998 I was lucky enough to be lent this book by my friend Fiona. She had loved it and thought I would enjoy it. I love to read books that have been recommended by others and this one was no exception. Bob and Barbara are the main characters of the book. They are a couple in their mature years and enjoying the rewards of their business. They are surrounded by a loving...
Richard Littlemore [whistling past the graveyard]: | Hacked emails: They trouble, serious trouble, but not BIG trouble It's hard to watch this - galling to see the deniers having such fun in this manufactured debacle. It's worse having to listen to sage advice that goes against people whom we have come to respect enormously. I don't personally know that Jones has to be sacked, but I have to admit that...
Professor Joseph Olson has confirmed that the Ohio State University’s Second Amendment Research Center has apparently expired. In the words of Monty Python, it is an ex-Center. Its URL [http://www.secondamendmentcenter.org] is out of service and the OSU operator had no information. The Center’s director, historian Saul Cornell, this year moved on to [...]
The Democrat Party Dines in Washington, as interpreted by Monty Python Maître-D': Uh, today we ’ave for appetizers — excuse me.

FRANCE coach Raymond Domenech may be madder than his countrymen in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but he has not lost the capacity to shock with his consistently bizarre o
I don’t know if any of you remember Monty Python and the Spanish Inquisition. These guys would show up in the middle of scenes and yell, “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.” Well, this is Blackwater. They are everywhere. This is what progressives feared. Blackwater would be used as a military force to go around Congress. With [...]
Alas, for reasons far too complicated to mention I am unable to make it to this year's Property and Freedom Society conference, in Bodrum. However, God and Professor Hoppe willing, I will be there next year if I have to crawl there over broken glass while wearing a T-shirt saying 'I love the Guardian' in three different ecologically-friendly languages. It's an appallingly terrible shame that I have...
Russell Brand has taken his ‘Scandalous’ tour to the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, Ireland and looks pretty animated doing so. He and his lady love Katy Perry have recorded a duet together that started out as a joke. They sang Edward Lear’s 1871 poem The Owl and the Pussycat , an ode said to be a “very private personal joke” between the couple. A source tells Britain’s Sun Newspaper : “Russell was just
