Ya know, this weekend has kinda passed me by, I did intend to take my new (but slightly 2nd hand) bike out for a spin, but only got as far as buying a helmet - yeah right!! A lovelly big new shiny helmet! (you dirty lot?!) Anyhoo - Sunday from 3pm through more or less to 8pm was none stop rehersal, including some ‘mark point marching’ techniques for turning corners which we’ll have to pull off flawlessly to impress the judges. We literally only have 5 rehersals left, and still I have tons of work to do, to be able to pull it off…(there you go again!! You dirty minded lot!)…

In other news I watched Monty Pythons ‘The Meaning of Life’ again this evening, and it really brings it home, never ages - it is a kind of unique satire that should and will be watched, revered and learned from for a long time to come. If you think life is dragging you down, or things are just a little bit too serious; then please do yourself a favour and watch some python! If nothing else it will give you a new appreciation for the philosophical outlook of fish cooped up in a tank! Maybe because deep down inside I’m still a little kid I dunno?! but my favourite song is from the working class Roman Catholic’s Sketch - ‘Every Sperm is Sacred’ - choice!

We need more films like this, proper and true satire; taking the michael out of life itself - less guns and gungho! Trouble is at the moment - the Pythons are getting on a bit now, most likley drawing their war pensions and such, and there aren’t any new younger pythons to carry on the torch of olympic proportion they have been most defiantly and fantastically carrying all this time…unless of course you have a different view? Who in this modern age of comedic talent would you consider to be the closest in essence to the Python ethos? …come to think of it, is ethos even a word?
