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

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.

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.

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

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.

More dates added for the following days.

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

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).

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

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