    Saw him about a year and half ago doing a show in Vancouver (this was at the tail end of covid, so security was VERY tight around this ole guy). I had VIP "meet and greet" tix for which I dressed up as the dead blue parrot. The shows managers implicitly stated, we could greet him, but absolutely NO contact, stay a safe distance away and under no circumstances were there to be any autographs. I made sure I was at the end of the line, so I would at least get a few more words with him. He saw me coming, bursted out laughing, took some selfies with me and autographed my parrot costume. He was so incredibly generous with his time and was truly so genuine. A memory to last a life time.
    Thanks for this, brought back some great memories. Such a treasure.

    John Cleese at 84 has now become a world treasure. Not just a Great Britain genius and comedian, but a precious talent for the whole world. I live in Queensland Australia and my Grandfathers twin sister went to 107 years old. My blessing to John is that he should live much longer, even to an age way over 100. We need him, and his world 🌍 influence. Her blessing at 107 was to tell all who would listen, was to stay in loving mode, and care, and interest in everyone around them. Bless you John in ways even you may not have experienced yet. God Bless

      @@williamoverton7775 that makes sense. People often ask me about my 96 yr old grandmother and her longevity secrets. Well, as far as I can remember, she’s always been really happy and laughs a lot. She doesn’t need a lot of greens or salads, she was never on any diet, she will eat donuts and McDonald’s. Has a glass of wine with dinner every single night still gets almost every Jeopardy, and does the New York Times crossword puzzle… Even the Sunday hard one! so I would have to say that the secret to her longevity was social connection and laughing a lot. Because it certainly wasn’t diet and exercise lol.

She said, no, that's his brother. So I said, well will you have his brother tell his brother how much joy he has brought to me and all of us over the years. She said she would. That was it.

Camera sits on the empty car for a few seconds, everyone wondering what's going to happen. The eruption of laughter when he runs back with that tree branch is one of the most iconic scenes in comedy history. I can still hear dad saying the dialogue along with Basil then roaring with laughter. That and the fire drill scene are just a joy. I had a pain in my back from laughing as a kid when Basil is losing his mind with the guests who are insisting that the alarm sounds are all the same. The phone rings, and he roars something incoherent into it, literally hopping with rage, and slams it down. 😂

      @Regantdarcy I personally thought the first hour and 15 minutes was not very interesting, but the second half was riveting. I enjoy hearing political views and observations from people from across the pond, because many countries seem to be struggling with extremists who have infiltrated society and politics. Many of them seem to be on a mission to wreck things and burn it all to the ground. So much damage can occur in a short period of time while it takes many more years to restore equilibrium and rebuild what was lost in the wake of all the chaos and destruction.

    John is 100% correct, in the sense that none of us really "choose" our romantic partners; it's largely a subconscious process, driven overwhelmingly by early familial experiences and how they impacted us. Kind of fre@ky, right? But so important to know.
