    Monty Python Sergeant Major Sketch

    Very good. It's bringing back happy memories. "How's your father" is an expression I remember as a boy and young man but is never used now.

    I think you'd enjoy 'Round the Horne'.

    Monty Python Sergeant Major Sketch

    I'm a bit confused by this as you seem to be reproaching me for belittling someone or something: that's not something I usually do and so I'd really like to know what you mean so that I can either apologise or explain (or possibly both?).

    Monty Python Sergeant Major Sketch

    At least they are still 'real' armies. I agree with you that the silly walks best nuclear confrontation - and conventional war - any day. The arms race between the two countries is a tragic waste of resources and ultimately, I suppose, a legacy of Partition and the chaos surrounding it.

    Monty Python Sergeant Major Sketch

    It's marvellous. The Pakistan Army doesn't get enough credit. It's up against ruthless fundamentalists and does very well considering: it has also maintained many of the better traditions of the British Army and, sensibly, remained all-male and so no pc stuff. The facial hair is, as you say...

    Brilliant. It reminds me of the old graffito "Military Intelligence is a contradiction in terms."

    Monty Python Sergeant Major Sketch

    Yes, this is one of my favourite sketches. I nearly posted it on the thread I started on the Woolly Pully commando sweater because it's easy to see from this why I like wearing them. The camp sketch is marvellous too but as you say un-PC. It was made during the interlude between old-fashioned...

    Monty Python Sergeant Major Sketch

    I was going to post this sketch from the Monty Python team on my thread about the Woolly Pully (commando sweater): you will see from it why I am such an aficionado of this item of clothing. However I thought it deserved a thread in its own right because it's so good - and so true (if just...

    That would have been a perfect answer. In fact my House Master merely laughed drily and admitted that I was right. Some of the masters - my form tutor in my final year especially- were as flatulent as the boys. One of the reasons for this was probably the diet: lots of spinach, broccoli, etc...

    I also remember pointing out to my House Master that there was no mention of farting in either the School or House Rules.

    I hadn't realised that she was born in New Orleans as Mary Leta Dorothy Slaton and that she was of Cajun, Spanish and Irish descent. The wonders of Wikipedia.

    I think you'll find that it is 'Armor' on your side of the Pond, as in (for example) the 37th Armored Regiment. Perhaps you're thinking of 'Amour', which is a quite different thing. ...

    Same here. Great minds think alike.

    Ditto. Nice that you share my sense of humour (or humor in US English).

    Love it! Thank you for that.

    Yes, this was one of the advantages of going to a boys' boarding school. It was something we did right the way through to sixth form and A Level year (16-18 years old). The question is whether farting in class counted as a sport? I remember another occasion when I did this my History master...
