I do love them, but not at those prices.

Good luck to them I say, Jones' comment made me chuckle and it wouldn't surprise me if it was true.

I doubt any of them are especially minted from their endeavours.


Apart from Palin and all those travel books....

Idle and Gilliam must be loaded, surely? Things not going so well for John Cleese recently though, by all accounts....

My issue with it is that I just don't think they're funny any more. Well past their sell-by date. Plus, the O2 is not a venue for comedy IMO. All 5 nights are showing as sold out but they aren't as lots of blocks are being held back. So if anyone actually does want to go to it then wait a while until tickets are re-released, which will happen.
John Cleese spends about a gazillion a year on pyschoanlysis and paying off his various wives - it seems a viscous circle with the pysconalaysis not helping in his choice of partner which pushes him into more analysis. Terry Jones used to drink in the Firkin & Pheonix a lot, he probably had a big tab to settle.

Says a man who has never seen the Stones live. Pah!


Seen Terry Jones in many pubs around the manor over the years. Lovely bloke by all accounts. He's owned a house nearby since 1969.


Cleese must be skint. All that alimony and wasting money on shrinks. Fuck that.


The o2 is horrible and not the place I would want to see anybody.

The O2 is just about OK for a loud evening of rock but definitely not for comedy. Demand was high for the Pythons so I guess if they'd have played a smaller venue then they wouldn't be able to shoe-horn as many people in. Some crazy prices on the secondary market for the Pythons right now. Personally I think the RAH would have been iconic.
It is a Dead Bargain , It has exceeded, it has broken the bank, It has gone to the Golder Tower, It has joined LeeMan Brothers, It is a Royal Bank of Scotland. It has Nothern Rocked its socks off. It has gone down the Yellow Brick Road,It has joined the Bullingden Club, Kt has Spun the Zero .

Agree with posts of many of the above. Not funny anymore. John Cleese lost it for me when he advertised Sainsbury's in his Bond character, and Terry Jones's admission is basically like saying he wants to rip us all off.

On the news it said all the tickets were sold in 43 seconds. A bit like The Book of Mormon, there are too many rip-off shows around. Best to catch shows when they're on early try out at Menier, BAC, etc.


And LIKE the above post!

Johnny Rotten made a similar admission about a Sex Pistols reunion. It's just honest.


We'll get together and give you what you want to see, and we'll make money for it.


Don't think there's anything wrong in that, and they will probably have had very little, if anything to do with setting the prices.

    • Hi if anyone has one pm me cheers 
    • You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
    • I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
    • Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
