Always a sad day when anyone connected to Monty Python escapes the confines of this world... 😞

Sad for those of us who remain, that is. His worries are over, and hopefully, he’s in a much better place.

    ... and we lost Neil Innes (who shared a musical connection with the Pythons, of course) a week or so ago, too. :(

    Sad news but what a life to celebrate. Brought smiles across the globe for over 50 years, not many comedians can say that. RIP, btw - your wife, she a go-er?

    It seems that you guys are referring to a ‘goer’, not a ‘go-er’.

    Got it. I forget that on the Internet spelling doesn’t count. Then back on topic, that isn’t a very nice thing to ask about somebody’s wife. Or maybe on the Internet it is okay.

    Actually, originally I thought he was asking if his wife also was on the trip, but was being lazy with his typing. Which is typical on the Internet.
