Top-class miming! -
I don't believe they were miming, LL. As far as I understand, Cleese and Palin were both quite fluent in German. Indeed, hearing Palin speak German on the programme on 4 extra this morning, I was most impressed, and found it very funny. There was a great bit on the programme of Michael on Women's Hour from the 80s where he spoke about this. Worth a listen if you like MP and John McCarthy.Originally posted by Leinster Lass View Post

One sunny day in late January 2021, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Trump." The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr Trump is no longer President and no longer resides here." The old man said, "Okay", and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Trump." The Marine repeated, "Sir, as I told you yesterday, Mr Trump is no longer President and no longer resides here."
The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.
The third day, the old man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine, saying again, "I would like to go in and meet with President Trump."
The Marine, understandably irritated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you've been here asking to speak to Trump. I've told you each time that he's no longer the President and no longer resides here. Don't you get it?"
The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it !"
The Marine snapped to attention and said, "See you tomorrow, Sir."“"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

We're feeling a lot more cheered as we've just booked our first trip of the year. We're off to Iceland in February...if that works we're going to Lidl in March and then Asda in April.

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
