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.

    Very sad news. He can now join Graham Chapman in that great comedy gig in the sky. Rest in Peace Terry.

    ... 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’.

    Same thing Bud.

    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.

    A nod is as good as a wink to a blind bat.
