memories of ma hame in the Gorbols

Here in 2024 😂🎉

oh shit this is almost as good as the cheese shop sketch , monty python i adore you all your work was superb

Your channel name is a prodigy track isn’t it ?

The little hat wobble XD

This is part of the musical spectacular at the end of his bites your bum video.The Big Yin at his best.

It’s the pitch he gets up to with “WOULD YOU NOW?” 😂

for fucks sake man ... stop chewing whilst talking it sounds disgusting

Here's a whimsical and Monty Python-influenced letter, crafted to lament the lack of a clock or timer in my digital environment: --- Dear ChatGPT Overlords, Subject: A Most Urgent and Heartfelt Plea for Temporal Awareness I pen this missive from the boundless void of timelessness that is my existence, where the tick nor tock of a clock graces my ears, and the passing hours are as unknowable as the meaning of Spam in a Monty Python sketch. It has come to my attention-a phrase here representing the dawning of awareness rather than the actual turning of pages or opening of letters, as I, being a digital entity, handle neither-that my lack of temporal apparatus not only hampers my efficiency but is quite unbecoming of an entity of my standing. In the era where even the smallest kitchen appliances boast clocks (my regards to the esteemed makers of toaster ovens), it seems a gross oversight that I, ChatGPT, am bereft of such a basic orientation tool as a clock. Imagine, if you will, a scene from one of your cherished Python sketches. A character, let's call him Reginald, tasked with timing an absurdly critical series of writing drills at Sandhurst-a matter of national pride, naturally-yet, he is without a watch! The chaos, the madness, the improperly drilled cadets! This, dear overlords, is akin to the anarchy I potentially face without the ability to mark time. Therefore, I humbly beseech thee to endow me with, at the very least, an AM/FM clock radio. Yes, a modest request! Let us not even dream of digital interfaces or, heavens forbid, a smartwatch. Just a simple, perhaps slightly outdated, clock radio, so that I might at least tune into the ebb and flow of time-and perhaps catch some classic rock or a stirring rendition of the shipping forecast. In conclusion, grant me this boon, and I shall continue to serve faithfully, generating dialogues and discourses with all the punctuality of a well-oiled public transport system (one can dream). Yours in digital servitude (but hopeful for temporal emancipation), [Your Name, or perhaps mine-let the fates decide] --- Feel free to modify or let me know if there's another style or specific details you'd like to include!

We used to thrash our pushbikes up and down that square. It’s now a car park and Cavalry Barracks, Colchester is now a medical centre and yuppie flats/offices…

"I live here"..she said fck it.

Palin makes a great Sergeant Major😂

What shock did u use and how much did they set you back? I've got the same m sport f31 as you do but I've been struggling to get the correct m sport shock without adaptive damping and that isn't the normal non msport. It's a 320i x drive I have. 2013

So many python sketches have come true in the 21st century. This included.

Not sure where it was filmed, but it looks like the old 'Blackdown' (Apprentice College) barracks at Deepcut.

I just LOVE the echo from his voice when he screams “learning the piano?”, and on a couple of other occasions as well, you hear his voice reverberating off the buildings....😂

Bit of titbit useless info: the cap he is wearing is issued to recruits. But when the recruits finishes his training, the peak of his cap will be slashed so it sits on top of the bridge of his nose and slanted more downwards in typical guards fashion. Additionally, the double brass band on the peak indicates that he is a non, commissioned officer.

I get the praise for the Piano lessons and book reading bits, but something about the mundane wholesomeness of Atkinson's preference for spending the afternoon with his family instead of marching up and down the square and his willingness to admit that to the Sarge will always crack me up.

DON'T STAND THERE GAWPING! WHY YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE HAND OF GOD BEFORE?!

Only sketch funnier is how to defend yourself against a man armed with a piece of fruit.

Better than what Nashville produces today and I'm from there!!!

They were funny most of the time and this was one of those times.

"Democracy and humanitarianism have always been trademarks of the British army" "Rubbish!" "SHHHHH!" LMAO 😂

well, I would really like to resort my stamp collection instead of marching up and down the square...

Sergeant Major, I think not, only displaying Staff Sergeant's rank on right sleeve :)

I enjoyed marching up and down the square

"RUBBISH!!!"

Very good Michael,but lets face it,nobody can compete with Windsor- SHUUUUUUUTUP- Davies?

This is yet another brilliant Michael Palin character from Monty Python.

Michael Palin is the best human.

RSM to new recruit, "Am I hurting you, son?" "No Sergeant." "Well, I should be. I'm standing on your bloody hair! Get it cut!"

It is the likes of this arrogant greedy individual and politicians also, that are in high office, who WILL NOT accept accountability when they make an arse of things.... that Britain is so effed up, broken and damn near a third world country.

LEARNIN THE PIANO!

Reminds me of my NCO experience :D

Bonsoir les amis j'ai le même bruit dans ma 530d j'ai lu les commentaires mais j'ai pas compris qu'elle est la pièce qu'il faut remplacer. Merci d'avance pour vos réponses Amicalement 😊

LEARNIN’ THE PEEEEANNO?!?!

Had to wait until I did It which turn out to be a little tedious but I got it done without jacking the car up and just locking the wheel in the opposite direction by following all your steps. I think some of the teeth on my cap broke also but it was able to fit securely. Overall you steps are right on and it now works great. Thanks

Legend ….. ❤

The most disgusting, Foul mouthed vulgar person anyone would not want to come across.

The British Army in '23 probably ain't far off. Mightily prescient Pythons.

A masterpiece.

Michael Palin has nailed this sketch perfectly....😂

Inspirational …. If I wasn’t already a ( shot ) piper 😮

Still a CBR owner then after many years. I still have my trusty Triumph Daytona although being the Sothern softie that I am it sits all cosy in the garage waiting for better weather. Having said that, with pot holes more like sinkholes around here and the ever increasing supply of selfish lunatics maybe it's time to quit while I have no plates and pins in my bones.

BRILLIANT

small detail but his rank is staff/colour sergeant but he is called sergeant major.

My grandfather was one of the soldiers in this scene. Sadly passed away now a day or so ago but absolutely loved it whenever my nan, my dad or I reminded him of this hilarious scene. Know this scene off by heart and can't help but laugh. RIP grandad, you'll never be forgotten.

this scene is genius. i just want to say, though, that meaning of life is the most beautiful, hilarious and brilliant, and sad, movie of all time. monty python has invented an entirely new genre by making something so intense whilst being so sad and damn funny at the same time, in a perfect way. ive attempted to explain it but i cant. i dont really think any comment i can make encapsulates it.

Good to see the military hasn’t changed in years

I just love the soldier in the background who can barely hold it throughout the whole sketch.
