@ gadgetmaster.

Actually i was thinking it might be a Pommie injoke. This means only Pommies can understand it.
Even my cat doesn\'t like me.

I don't think it's a generation thing.

I'm definitely not from your generation yet I don't know what innuendo is inferred by 'Holiday Snaps'.

Then again, maybe I'm missing some massive cultural reference and am going to kick myself for posting this. :confused:

So anyone wan't to spoil the joke by explaining it?
Oh come on people! Seriously a generation who don't know Monty Python's flying circus? I guess it is an ex-comedy show, gone to join the choir invisible...

LOL. Of course. :python:

I have the digital versions and was planning on watching them back to back some day.


Mind you the first time I watched it I probably didn't get all the jokes anyway.

Maybe it's because I eat jam a lot and spam a lot in camelot. ;)

What can I say, apart from:

Quote

Customer: Good Morning.

Wenslydale: Good morning, Sir. Welcome to the National Cheese Emporium!

Customer: Ah, thank you, my good man.

Wenslydale: What can I do for you, Sir?

Customer: Well, I was, uh, sitting in the public library on Thurmon Street just now, skimming through "Rogue Herrys" by Hugh Walpole, and I suddenly came over all peckish.

Wenslydale: Peckish, sir?

Customer: Esuriant.

Wenslydale: Eh?

Customer: 'Ee, Ah wor 'ungry-loike!

Wenslydale: Ah, hungry!

Customer: In a nutshell. And I thought to myself, "a little fermented curd will do the trick," so, I curtailed my Walpoling activites, sallied forth, and infiltrated your place of purveyance to negotiate the vending of some cheesy comestibles!

Wenslydale: Come again?

Customer: I want to buy some cheese!


I know you know what I'm talking about, so I'll leave it there :python:

I've always been a firm believer that in order to survive round these parts, Monty Python knowledge is essential...That and knowledge of socks, you gotta know your socks...

:lol:

"Holiday snaps" is a phrase from a Monty Python sketch... :python:


Edit: Never mind, by the time I finished typing the above with one finger on the Ipod, everyone else had already explained :)

Actually go and buy all the Monty Python DVDs from Amazon or somewhere and come back after watching them. It'll all make sense then.

Broccoli became quite significant too, after a while. Probably worth a spot of study.

It's like you said, every year, the forum ents emerge from the edge of lurkers forest and make the org their own once again for a short time, before retreating back in to the woods until the weather is favourable once more.
