Looking forward to seeing them together again. Will be interested to see what they come up with.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Will be worth saving some pennies for! :D :yeah:

[Red October1984]

Holy Grail 2? :hmmm: :D

[Sailor Steve]

Didn't you watch the clip? Meaning of Life 2! :O:

I was sort of ambivalent until I watched the clip. Just sitting and talking, they still have it. The comments about getting Graham Chapman to appear - or not - were hilarious.

[Penguin]

Yesss! :rock:, looking forward to hear their plans!

Guess the negotiations with Chapham's agent have been finally been successfull! :arrgh!:

[Herr-Berbunch]

This is the medium they need - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUXJoUwpRAE

[Jimbuna]

And not before time :cool:

I sure hope Mr Cleese manages to hang on to the money he makes this time round :)

[Herr-Berbunch]

I think there's probably a woman out there waiting for it as we type. :nope:

[nikimcbee]

:woot::woot::woot:

I knew I could rely on you too get the meaning...otherwise it would have been like flogging a dead parrot :03:

He was just pining for Vendor.

Good grief! :o

Nothing stays a secret long around here :O:

I didn't watch the clip on account of bad connection as usual....but you know you want a proper Holy Grail 2...

Everybody secretly does.

[Herr-Berbunch]

I want The Life of Mohammed. But I also want them to live a bit longer. :o

I believe I will be but need to check on our itinerary. We're also meant to be visiting Italy and Ireland during the trip so not sure where I'll be on that date without checking.

Chances are you'll be in a bar...drunk :)

Drinking vino by the looks of it. We'll be in Rome that day.:/\\!! We've booked a quick 3 nighter to visit Pompeii, Capri and Amalfi then back to LDN on 3rd.

I've not been but the wife has and she says Capri and Amalfi in particular are beautiful places to visit.

[TarJak]

Aye looking forward to it. Just working out how I can get back to London for the Python show then join the family back in Italia.:hmmm:

[Jimbuna]

It's a long walk and an even longer swim so I'd suggest flying.

Obviously, but how to do it without the missus getting ropey?:hmmm:

[Herr-Berbunch]

Telll her it's a once in a lifetime opportunity - Rome, Pompei, et al are historic sites that will be there for years before and after, 5/6 Pythons on stages is history in the making. And you'll always have Paris, and you'll make it up to her, and those dates are a public holiday* in Italy - everywhere will be closed, from cafes to the colosseum (which is nice apart from the migrant 'workers' hawking all the same crappy toys right outside). So you'll have to kip in a tent and wee in a bucket.

London on those days though will be thriving, vibrant, funny, and all the better for a visit from our antipodean cousins. :D



* I may have just made that bit up.

Flowers and bling...loads of it :)

Dunno if that'll do the trick.

[Jimbuna]

Dunno if that'll do the trick.

Well it did for me after the 2008 Meet and you spent an extra few days in SF :O:

[Herr-Berbunch]

More dates added for the following days. :woot:

Edit: It's now on up until the 5th. I've got a ticket for that final show. Final shows are always the best. :up:

[Jimbuna]

The first day was sold out within 43.5 seconds of tickets going on sale :o

[Herr-Berbunch]

I always think they make that number up to make it sound good. I forgot to log on at 10 am - it was 10:17 when I remembered and still only the first two dates were listed and I was queueing for tickets. Then at about 11 the rest of the dates appeared, 11:45 I finally got my ticket. If they'd really all gone (for one date) in less than 44 seconds then there is no way I'd have got one nearly two hours later.

20,000 tickets in < 44 s
100,000 tickets in ~ 220 s

Just looked on stubhub and the cheapest ticket is about £200 - most expensive now going for £4k (I've checked my seat - going for about 3x face value - but I'm not selling). :o

[Jimbuna]

Quite possible but that is what Real Radio was reporting.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Another FIVE dates added at the London O2 Arena - 15-20 July, tickets on sale from 1000 GMT tomorrow.

I'd recommend anyone with any sort of spare cash buy some and sell them on stubhub afterwards - tickets are reselling for roughly 3x face value, and that's for the cheapest seats. :yep:

Or you could turn up and have a jolly good time.

[TarJak]

Got a reminder set. Will see if I can nab some tickets. Might be able to pay for the trip over. :hmmm:

[TarJak]

Tickets purchased. :up: Going to the Sunday 20th show. Sitting in the nosebleed section from the looks of the map.

[Herr-Berbunch]

:yeah:

I'm Block 417, also in the nosebleed section. :D

Six months to brush up on the lot.

You know they won't be telling any new jokes don't you?

[Herr-Berbunch]

You know they won't be telling any new jokes don't you?

Aye, they said they'll mostly rehash the old ones - they're not falling for the usual 'new material' = cack routine. :up:

[Jimbuna]

Should be a show well worth seeing :sunny:
