Don't make me get Norm upset tonight, after his big DVC score and all... I will pull out the pictures if need be :rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl2:
 
I believe British humor is like their cuisine, dull and lacking. The British dramas on the other hand are usually better written and directed than what we get here. And when we do copy one of theirs, ours is a pale imitation, due mostly to censorship laws and the desire of Hollywood to pander to the biggest dollar.

Monty Python in the Quest for the Holy Grail is one of my favorite movies.
 
Had to play taxi once again this evening for my socially active son.

Then home to work some more on the website, and return a few calls.
 

Excuse me but I must correct an erroneous statement that was made by someone who was misinformed. SWMBO (She Who MUST Be Obeyed) is from one of the greatest British dramas to be shown on this side of the puddle. I am referring of course to the great RUMPOLE of the BAILEY. SWMBO is the only way I believe that Rumpole refers to his wife in the show.

Enough soapboxing now.

Andrew, RUMPOLE of the BAILEY ran from 1978 to 1992.

Premiered in 1965.
 
I don't feel like going back to find the original posts about WDW with the in-laws, but want to chime in with my 2 cents.

I have made trips with my parents and my DMil & DSil, both BEFORE we were DVC members. We enjoyed both, but there was give and take, mostly DW & I giving and them taking. I would love to do another WDW trip, or any trip with DMil, but she passed away in 2007. We did not always agree on things, but I loved spending time with her (not so much DSil). Even if you have to go by yourself for a while (I did this with DW,DMil, & DSil) or with your DW, taking a trip with the in-laws are worth the investment of time and money.
 
"You don't frighten us, English pig-dog! Go and boil your bottoms, son of a silly person. I blow my nose on you, so-called Arthur-king, you and your silly English kiniggets."
 
"The swallow may fly south with the sun, or the house martin or the plover seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?"
 
Worked hard to get caught to me, I see. There was what, almost a 30 post spread between us this afternoon... :eek:

I see I can't step away from here for more than an hour at a time, huh Randall? :confused3

In honor of watching the movie UP, don't blame Randall. You know how stubborn the elderly are.

Man your having a pretty darn good day.:woohoo:

A great day. Maybe I should get a bunch of balloons and head to Paradise Falls. Oh wait, my house is built on a slab.
 
"Now stand aside, worthy adversary.

'Tis but a scratch.

A scratch?! Your arm's off.

No it isn't.

Then what's that then.

I've had worse."
 
"And the Lord spoke, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out! Once the number three, being the third number be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
 
Monty Python in the Quest for the Holy Grail is one of my favorite movies.

While the actors in Monty Python are good, I never got into them or Benny Hill. I had a roommate while I was a CM at DLand (also a CM, my lead in fact) who thought Benny Hill and Monty Python were the greatest thing since sliced bread. I thought they were a waste of talent and film. But to each his own.
 
We demand...a shrubbery.:lmao:

We are the Knights who say Nii.

We offered to take MIL, BIL and his family with DVC points, but BIL refused to go. It was quite taxing on the family.

"You don't frighten us, English pig-dog! Go and boil your bottoms, son of a silly person. I blow my nose on you, so-called Arthur-king, you and your silly English kiniggets."

Now go away, or I will taunt you a second time.

I never cared for Benny Hill myself, but Monty Python... oh yeah. As a kid, the four of us, mom, dad, bro & I would be rolling watching the tv show, and the different films. Fun times. I love that my boys "appreciate" them as well. :rotfl::lmao::rotfl2:
