"What is the biggest regret of your career, Michael?" "I wish I'd been born a man." I laughed till my stomach hurt at that part. :-D   Re: Watch Python reunion from last night (in NY, BAFTA thing) by kisch on 16 October 2009 5:03am   The questions were sometimes dull, but they made the best of it. John : "I never fancied Michael Palin. I find him physically repellent". I was giggling so loud I was afraid I'd wake the family up:) Totally worth the sleepless night ! It started about 5-30 am my time, I set my alarm at abt 5-00 am, and it rang as I was just nodding off. Now it's 8:00 am and I have to get myself ready and be off to work ! Don't know how I will manage to do work today, but who cares !!!   Re: Watch Python reunion from last night (in NY, BAFTA thing) by Lady April on 18 October 2009 1:54am   John loves Michael ;-D   Re: Watch Python reunion from last night (in NY, BAFTA thing) by kisch on 18 October 2009 11:19am   Lady A, who doesn't then ?;) LOLOLOL But yes, it's now an officially confirmed fact.   Re: Watch Python reunion from last night (in NY, BAFTA thing) by bIG bLOGGER on 18 October 2009 2:37pm   John: "I never fancied Michael Palin. I find him physically repellent.." I sometimes find it hard to know when Mr.Cleese is joking,and when he is being sober and serious. I am still trying to come to terms with the way he was being nice and charming about the late Graham Chapman when speaking at his memorial service,and then he went and spoilt it all by saying: "Good riddance to the freeloading bastard. I hope he fries...." ;and Cleese was the first person at a British memorial service to use the four-letter word f**k. Surely most people--even those who like the work of Python,etc,and have a good healthy sense of humour,would consider saying grossly irreverent things like this about a dearly-departed writing partner at a public memorial service to be in a rather dubious taste--or have I got this completely wrong??   Re: Watch Python reunion from last night (in NY, BAFTA thing) by Amaia on 18 October 2009 5:35pm   I think you've got that completely wrong, BB... Although it is one of your most fundamental rights to be offended. John made perfectly clear that even saying .... was an hommage to Graham, apparently a master in bad taste and irrevential behaviour (at his show, John told us how Graham would spend BBC receptions crawling on the ground and biting people's ankles). And if that's not enough for you, you can actually spot everyone laughing at John's speech...   Re: Watch Python reunion from last night (in NY, BAFTA thing) by Amaia on 18 October 2009 5:36pm   wow, i didn't know you couldn't write the f*** word on this site!!! huge discovery! I'm going to say "banana" instead, then: "John made perfectly clear that even saying banana was an hommage to Graham". :)   Re: Watch Python reunion from last night (in NY, BAFTA thing) by sighthound on 18 October 2009 11:12pm   Graham would have been pleased, Big B. The supercilious nonsense at most memorials would have repelled him. JC got it right.   Re: Watch Python reunion from last night (in NY, BAFTA thing) by KShabby523 on 19 October 2009 12:19am   Kisch, thanks so much for posting the link. I watched it and felt teary-eyed at the end; not sure why, perhaps watching these legends walk off stage and reflecting on the amazing contributions they've made to the world of comedy.   Messages 1 2
