When not performinng these amazing feats of physical and mental endurance, Ron cuts our lawn.

i love the little french scene haha, monty python's french takes are epic

Ron sadly failed in his attempt to eat Chichester Cathedral, but later, after further intensive training, he succeeded in devouring the Loch Ness monster. He accomplished this feat on November 19th 1974, at approximately 11.47 p.m. Lamentably, the event went unrecorded, as a storm rendered the camera inoperable, and Ron's, and his manager's subsequent claims to fame were treated as evidence of a delusional personality, and an attempt to raise funds fraudulently for Ron's next planned task, which was to drink the Dead Sea. This attempt was begun on July 6th, 1975, but tragically ended after a few short moments when Ron was overcome with nausea, later passing away due to acute salt poisoning. His manager's whereabouts are not known. Recent sightings of the Loch Ness monster have given rise to theories that Ron's story is a total fiction. This is, of course, total fiction.

Being from colwyn bay, I do regret not meeting Terry Jones RIP

As a Spaniard I am outraged (because we now are outraged too) because of the suggestion that llamas supposedly live in the Amazon river (which isn't in Spain) and have beaks. Thats ridiculous, llamas have a trunk, and they live in the Guadalquivir and Ebro rivers.

They are however, very dangerous! So if you see one where people are swimming, you must shout out "LOOK OUT! THERE ARE Llammas!".

I always wanted a Llama. I decided I would name her "Dolly". Just so I could tell everyone I met I knew the Dolly Llama!😁
