I guess everybody has some mountain to climb.
It's just fate whether you live in Kansas or Tibet...

You shouldn't have mentioned Python, now he will be expecting the
Spanish Inquisition.

Spanish Inquisition? Looxury. When *I* were a lad we used to work twenty
hours down t'mill, come home to our cave, eat a bowl of hot gravel for
dinner, then father would send us to the Soviet Gulag before we went to
bed...

Ah, the Four Yorkshiremen. I'm sure you know they predate Python, first
occurring in I'm Sorry, I'll Read Than Again as stock characters, with
the "we used t' live in a hole in't' rooad" sketch dating from At Last
The 1948 Show.

Python, of course, is puerile, unoriginal public-schoolboy claptrap.

That's true, Cleese and Chapman (along with Tim Brooke-Taylor and Marty
Feldman) did it first in At Last the 1948 Show. However the Pythons did
reuse the sketch on stage in the Live from the Hollywood Bowl concert
and movie.

Longtime lurker on s.m.n, longtime soc.history.what-if participant.

You're crossposted to rec.aviation.military,
rec.aviation.military.naval and sci.military.naval so it's difficult
to know for sure which group you mean by "this group".

As for Python, one of the more memorable evenings of my life came when
my teenagers discovered my rather extensive \mp3\python directory and
were doing Python sketches all evening...

I just responded to you, whoever started the cross-post must be
further up the line.
