Other teams have policies that affect game play.. are you guys gonna abandon a city for the hell of it? Declare war on your neighbors just to psych them out?

Well, we're definitely going to use Izzardisms for city names, in-team titles, units, military operations, etc.

We might be colonianist bastards if the opportunity arises. "Just sail 'round the world and stick a flag in!"

We're mostly in it to amuse ourselves, I think. Playing as the English, I doubt we're in it to "win."

Note: The Monty Python team might want to play as the English. We'll have to wait and see what they want. I'm sure something could be worked out - we could certainly be the Romans instead if we wanted.

The Pythons may want to be Romans, and play the Life of Brian role to death.

Definitely more of a sunshine team thing, I think.

Our people may have to have a bit of an inferiority thing going...

"Tell me your dreams, kid"
"I want to be a space astronaut, go to outer space and discover things that have never been discovered!"
"Look, you're British, so scale it down a bit"
"Alright then, I want to work in a shoe shop, and discover shoes that have never been discovered, right at the back of the shop on the left."
"Look, you're British, so scale it down a bit"
"Alright, I wanna work in a sewer, then, and pile sewage on my head, and come to the surface and sell myself to an art galley"
"What the **** have you been smoking, 'eh?"

Just asking is usually good enough.

Of course, if you can provide an Izzard quote that makes me laugh that might smooth the wheels of the administrative system.

You get extra credit if it isn't from Dress to Kill, since that show is dominating our quote-a-thon so far.

Have you got the 'circle' video yet FP?

	Tired of ads?

Not yet. Everything I've heard about it makes it sounds really quite bad - apparently he spends a bit too much time lecturing about history and European integration (with less-than-accurate facts, it seems) and not enough time actually saying funny stuff. I'm hesitant to have my opinion of Eddie tarnished by watching an inferior performance.

I might have to get it eventually, though, there must be some good quotable stuff on there at least.

Having said that, though, the first time I saw Dress to Kill I was very disappointed because I felt it wasn't as good as Definite Article or Glorious. It certainly improved greatly with subsequent viewings and is now my joint-second favourite.

I keep meaning to get "Live at the Ambassadors" too, which is his earliest recorded show I believe. I heard a few brief audio clips of it and they were excellent.

'Tis a kind offer you make. And who knows? Half my family is over in the UK, and I may indeed end up visiting (again) at some point. And since that side of the family is mostly much older than I, I may be in dire need of a night of Eddie & Beer.

I extend the same offer, though I can't promise you Eddie you haven't seen. The beer I can handle.

OUR monkey specializes in exposing Eddie's limited ability to speak French by engaging in all sorts of activities except the one he's supposed to be doing (to simply stay "up a tree"). He likes to steal city buses, apparently, and made a cameo appearance in the French release of Speed. Dunno if he was throwing poo at the time.

Theseus - been a while since I've checked this thread. This cracked me up.

I think I was at a similar session about a month ago.

Ok, are we definitely playing as the English? And who is our leader? FP?
