Little history note: Terry Jones says that he found out later that people hurling themselves off of a castle was actually done during the Crusades. He said that it gave him a curious feeling because the sketch was written as a joke.

Terry Jones did a documentary called 'The Crusades' and he was discussing the first appearace of The Assassins during the Crusades and the Assassins' leader had such a hold over his followers, if he commanded, his followers would hurl themselves off of battlement walls, and he demonstrated this to a European prince.
@BestAnimeFreak6 жыл бұрын
Wait? Was the "leap of death" in the Assassines Creed games inspired by this? In the very first game, a scene like you described happened. The leader spoke to the enemy and some assassines jumped from a cliff by his command. Except that they did not die ... I really should take a look at that documentary

She was a lovely woman I will miss her!

Lord Eden I gave up being angry about the webbed feet, inbreeding and _Sale of the Century_ a long time ago. We're stuck with it, and it's something we'll never shake off, unfortunately. Mind you, some of the people you see in our fine city don't exactly help to change the reputation we're tarred with, like those bald identical twins who shout "fuck" and "cunt" at each other on the market place, and a dirty old man who stands in the street with his hand up a puppet's arse, waving said puppet frantically in time to poor-quality music.

I would not mind if that old pervert used puppets in his pathetic busking act. But i do draw the line at him waving a sock attached to a stick via a length of greasy string.

The God awful Nimmo twins. as funny as feeding a refugee from the Jungle a bucket of cold vomit.
@sirpercivalsmallcock-jones95857 жыл бұрын
Lord Eden The twins don't seem to spend as much time in the city centre as they used to. When they are around, their usual spot is by the corner market stalls near the Guildhall, by the post box and the circle of benches opposite Jarrolds. Both are bald, one is covered in tattoos, and both look the proverbial sandwich short of a picnic. Listening in to a typical conversation, one gets to learn in detail all about their visits to the types of clubs where scantily clad women dance for "entertainment" and how they're privileged enough to get into the VIP areas of said clubs (gawd knows why), and whatever's going on in the world of Ipswich Town football club. Pepper these conversations liberally with the F and C words and that's pretty much as far as the dialogue goes between them.
