Sorry, Dave. I quit reading half-way through. I know it's a Yank thing and all my fault. It's not the first time I haven't gotten the gist of Brit humor/humour, though.

It's OK Dave...I got it. That was great. I would enjoy reading what Branson responded.

That was hilarious. I wonder if Richard did reply.

BTW I'm Canadian, so I didn't find it it too hard to follow

I've seen more than enough Monty Python episodes to understand the banter and the Brit humor in that letter.

Good one, or more appropriately, brilliant!

I'd love to hear a response.

Ditto with Dan on the Python.

Maybe he should have asked for more fresh fruit.


LMAO...here is my favorite part:


By now I was actually starting to feel a little hypoglycaemic. I needed a sugar hit. Luckily there was a small cookie provided. It had caught my eye earlier due to it's baffling presentation:



It appears to be in an evidence bag from the scene of a crime. A CRIME AGAINST BLOODY COOKING. Either that or some sort of back-street underground cookie, purchased off a gun-toting maniac high on his own supply of yeast. You certainly wouldn't want to be caught carrying one of these through customs. Imagine biting into a piece of brass Richard. That would be softer on the teeth than the specimen above.

Rob, that was the first Monty Python skit I ever saw - been hooked ever since. I have them all on DVD.

I'm rather partial to the Argument Clinic

My son bought me the 21 DVD Monty Python collection this Christmas. He's a good kid.
