And there was much rejoicing. (Monty Python reunion)

[Josephus]

A world tour?  That sounds pretty rough for guys in their seventies.

Meh...it can be done. Roger Waters toured The Wall for two years and he's in his 70s. Look at The Stones. Trick is they won't do too much back to back gigs, and days off after travel, etc.

I love Python, but have no  interest in going to a show full of material I'd seen a dozen times performed by blokes way past their prime and/or dead who are doing it without any enthusiasm. Seriously, you've be much better off with a DVD of Live at the Holywood Bowl.

The idea of actually flying to anotehr country to watch this bemuses me totally. I assume that folk just want to be able to say "I've seen 'em live". Same goes for all the geriatric rock bands.

Isn't someone smug?

He is way too cool for school.

Well, I'm certainly not expecting a show on par with the '70s (or the Spanish Inquisition). But the chemistry may well still be there. And as I wasn't around back then and too young when they last performed it is the next best thing. I already have the DVDs.

As for travelling to another country, it wouldn't be the first time I've used a concert or show as an excuse to spend a few days in London.

Pretty much. I am not expecting to see them in their prime, but I do still expect the chemistry, and, frankly, yes, I will be happy to know (and tell) that I managed to see them live.

Isn't someone smug?

Smug about not going to watch something?

Even on my paltry list of achievements, that comes pretty low down.

Yeah several people posted about how they wanted to go, were trying to purchase tickets and then you come in posting about how laughable people like that are.

Also I don't know how you have missed the idea that you can be smug about not doing things.   or rather you are being smug with regards to how superior you are over such idiots.

[Gups]

That's not being smug. If your interpretation were right (and it wasn't), I was being condescending.

And anyway, I just expressed my lack of interest and explained why. I spend lots of money on leisure activities that would bemuse others - like spending significant amounts of money on watching inferior quality football. I wans't laughing at anyone or expressing my superiority over them.

Englishness is often interpreted as smugness.  It's just the way you people come across.  We can hear that accent in your typing. 

[garbon]

What a jackass. Won't even admit to being rude.

That's why they're so great at playing bad guys in Hollywood.

I don't get that at all from some of our other British posters though maybe from the little baronet.

Certainly not from Jos, though maybe his is trying...

To be fair, he did take back the gratuitous insult.
