How many of those did you keep for strategic sheep purposes?

Then again, I can understand some of the islands and the beaches.

"Mr. Pope! I'm going to marry my first wife, and then I'm going to divorce her. Now, I know what you're going to say but stick with me, my story gets better. I'm going to marry my second wife and then I'm gong to kill her, cut her head off! Ah, not expecting that, are ya? Third wife, gonna shoot her. Fourth wife, put her into a bag. Fifth wife, into outer space. Sixth wife, on a Rotissimat. Seventh wife, made out of jam. Eighth wife..." ( makes sound similar to putting babies on spikes )

And the Pope's going,

( Italian accent ) "You crazy bugger! You can't do all this! What are you, a Mormon? You can't marry all these people! It's illegal! You can't do all this! I am the Pope, I am the head of the Church, I have to keep up... ciao! I have to keep up standards. What have you been reading, the gospel according to St. Bastard?"

So Henry VIII, who was Sean Connery for this film, said:

( imitating Sean Connery ) "Well then, I will set up a new religion in this country. I will set up the Psychotic Bastard religion."

And an advisor said,

"Why not call it Church of England, Sire?"

"Church of England, actually. Much better... Even though I'm Scottish myself."

So they did! That's the birth of Church of England, the birth of the Anglican Church! Disgusting, eh? That's no basis to start a religion on! Nothing to do with the Protestant church, I mean, Henry just shagged and killed a lot of women and then stole all the money off the monasteries. You know, rape and pillage, that is!

The Protestant faith was different. That started probably around a similar time, but that was about Martin Luther, this German guy who pinned a note on a church door saying, " 'ang on a minute!" But in German, so, "Ein Minuten, bitte. Ich habe einen kleinen Problemo avec diese Religione." He was from everywhere. So yeah and so the Protestant faith was sort of tacked on by Queen Elizabeth I a bit later. "Oh, principles! Thank God! We've got some principles." Nowadays, Church of England is much more, "Hello, how are you?" Much more a hobby-type... "Hello!" A lot of people in Church of England have no muscles in their arms. "Hello, yes... ( chuckles ) Yes, that's what I thought. ( chuckles ) Do come in, you're the only one today! Now the sermon today is taken from a magazine that I found in a hedge. Now lipstick colors this season are in the frosted pink area and nail colors to match... And this reminds me rather of our Lord Jesus! Because surely, when Jesus went into Nazareth on a donkey, he must have got tarted up a bit..."

From Glorious...

"Oh. Password protected. Billion possible chances."

"Er..."

"Jeff."

"Hey!"

"How did you know it would be Jeff?"

"I knew there'd be a back door."

In films, the guy who made the software has always left a back door,

so he could get back in when he wanted and look at all the missiles and go, "Ooh".

And put one on his head.

"And the guy who made the software was called Jeff Jeffety Jeff, born on the first of Jeff, Nineteen-Jeffety-Jeff."

"So I put in Jeff and hey."

Yes! I have (the company I work for clock) use PostgreSql for some large-ish popular sites:

Bill Bailey (link and others We find it far the best solution for us

"Hitler was a mass-murdering fuckhead . . . as many important historians have said."

Thank you, Eddie Izzard

For those like me who are geographically challenged, Bath is in the United Kingdom, a couple of hours west of London.

Ah, but the museum is at the Swindon campus of the University of Bath. Swindon is between Bath and London, about 1.5 hours west of the capital. The glorious Eddie Izzard once described Swindon as being like Fresno without the charm. Which is about right.

there are quite a few i can think of. many are indy flicks

• angels in america. in particular, the plots following roy cohn (total bastard, both in the play and in real life) and joe pitt.
• lilies. brilliant (in my not so humble opinion). the action centers on a group of prisoners performing a play describing the events in a small french canadian town in 1912. as the story unfolds, we see a tale of jealousy, revenge, confession, and ultimately the righting of an injustice. (yes, deliberately ambiguous so as to avoid spoilers)
• midnight in the garden of good and evil
• bent. a story of love in nazi death camps.
• gods and monsters. a chronicle of the last days of james whale's (director of frankenstein) life.
• taboo. samurai flick with a twist.
• speedway junky
• the hours

also, check out eddie izzard genius british comedian.

Did I really say that? Groan....

Eddie Izzard bit done in either NYC or LA: "...do you know there are other countries?"

Eddie Izzard is, in my opinion, a hilarious British stand-up comedian. Watch his stuff. You'll thank me later.

I'll take any opportunity to insert a quote from Eddie Izzard.

I think Eddie Izzard was also widely tipped as the new doctor, though I can't see it not turning into a comedy had he played the doctor. Incidentally for those of you who have no idea who Dr Who is, the BBC is probably a good place to start:

Ahhhh... I love Eddie Izzard :-)

How dare you! Men have just as much right as women to chat on cell phones, swat at their children, and apply make up!

No kidding.

Hey, there's a few things that can't be done in Europe, too, buddy...

In Britain, you can't obtain a toothbrush.

In France, you can't find a person with a spine.

"Look at me, I'm from Europe... You know, where the History comes from..." (Nod to Eddie Izzard...)
