I prefer Holy Grail too. I'm always puzzled, hilarious though it is, that LoB is always the one that is mentioned as prime Python. I wonder if it's more edginess makes people want to be associated with it in order to appear cool?

 

NB. You can't appear cool. You either are or you aren't.

As a movie/story, LoB is coherent and is more relatable due to it's content. Holy Grail is Python at it's absurd best and therefore more niche. I think that's the main reason for LoB being held in that regard. 
Meaning of Life is pretty weak in contrast however.

Was thinking about this today for some reason, why was it so creepy

Well done to Kevin Sinfield.

 

A fully deserved knighthood.

Sinister music for sure. But not as creepy as the young girl with the rag doll at the end of every night's viewing just staring out at you.

Brilliantly exploited in Life on Mars - especially the very final scene.

I played Padel for the first time this afternoon and understand the current hype!

 

It's so much easier to play and get into as a complete beginner and it's a fun work out. I'm hooked.

Anyone know someone that covers the Leicester area for upvc front door repairs please? Need mine resetting so it can close

Why do little Englander/dumb boomer types constantly try and rag on the armed forces whilst at the same time grandstanding that they love them?

 

It's all "yeah lest we forget thanks for your service" and then as soon as the news breaks about the operation to snatch that tankers it's "that's fake news", "it's staged", "AI" etc.

Had a pretty depressing and slightly heated conversation with my in-laws yesterday, which resulted in me politely asking them to believe a little less of what they read in the Daily Mail. Pretty much all the things I would have had on a boomer bingo card came up

Who constitutes the "hard-working people of this country"? You know, the types that the tabloid press will champion but never specify.

 

So, teachers? Too many holidays. Doctors? Always striking. Ditto binmen and train drivers. Civil servants? Yeah, ok. Builders and roadworkers? Immensely popular. Plenty of other industries are either woke or pointless like energy based or helping people.

 

Struggling to find the definition here.

The reason I can only visit my mum and dad for 15 minutes at a time. And if the news is on TV then I might aswell not bother going in. They never used to be like this.

It's interesting how immigrants are draining our country dry, but when I visualise a benefits cheat or "sponger", I picture a white family living on a council estate with half a dozen kids or more.

 

Which by no means accounts for all white people living on a council estate (I am white and lived most of my life on a council estate) my experience of visiting a very varied demographic due to my work has yet to convince me that there isn't something to this stereotype.

 

The vast majority of Asians I know are, if anything, a little too hardworking 

 

I'm pretty sure however that the "hard-working people of this country" come in many different shapes and colours.

(4.7%) and White British (4.9%) ethnic backgrounds had the lowest
unemployment rates. People from Arab (14.3%) and Other Black (14.2%)
ethnic backgrounds had the highest unemployment rates.

Yeah, I wasn't really going for a workers v shirkers thing, more trying to understand which industry was even half respected and I couldn't find many.

 

There are bad apples in all walks of life.

Unemployed does not equal benefit cheat.

 

Also, what the hell is Other Black?

Which I guess proves your point.

 

I would say in all kinds of jobs too. To say for instance that doctors work really hard, isn't necessarily true or false when applied in a individual basis.

 

I pretty sure that there are people in jobs, earning tons of money, who actually work less than some people who don't have a job.
