Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

Probably in reference to Life of Brian, I imagine, although I did notice that they were holding their shields in the wrong hand! (Along with everything else...)It was probably the most enjoyable section of the evening over all though.

It was definitely one of the best bits, along with 'The Who'.

I have to say all I keep thinking was "The shields...the shields are all wrong!" As if the rest of it was in any way correct :roll: :grin:
