We like circuses and bread.

Alright.

But apart from the inflating and spending, the bath houses, the exploding candles, and Francesco Totti, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Alright, alright.

But apart from the inflating and spending, the bath houses, the exploding candles, Francesco Totti, sewers, the legal system, and Calzone...?

What have the Romans ever done for us?

Mary Whitehouse failed to prove that the film was blasphemous, particularly since Christ and Brian are distinctly shown as different people. Nevertheless, a number of local councils banned it – including some that didn’t even have a cinema. The result was coach parties being organised in places such as Cornwall (where it was banned) to cinemas in Exeter (where it wasn’t). The Swedish marketed the film as “so funny it was banned in Norway”.
I had to go to London to see it.

Did you ever see the clip of Cleese and co up against Malcolm Muggeridge? The looks him and Palin exchange speak volumes.

Even though I'm a Python nut, and even though you mentioned Cleese first, I still had to read that twice to figure out that "Palin" didn't mean Sarah. Sad...

I remember seeing it but not being able to hear a damn thing. I kept my head well below the parapet, being in a minority of one at the time.

Admiting you had seen it was tanatamount to heresy. Having seen it armed you to argue the case but like I said, in a minority of one. It was a bit like the outrage when the Simpsons was first shown in Britain. Everyone knew what it was about despite never having seen it.

Did you know it's still legal to shoot a Scotsman in York if he's carrying a bow?

Must be a right cunt if you're a Jock violinist.

That was the Romans with their bloody walls.

If you suddenly saw a bunch of picts painted blue and dancing around, I warrant you'd build a wall, too.
