Re: John cleese

being bullied for using cheese thats madness.

never knew his dad was in WW2.

Wonder did john ever think of doing something similar.

I knew it was originally Cheese, but his Dad used Cleese when signing up for WW1 so he wouldn't be bullied.

Re: John cleese

Actually John's Dad was in the first world war.

This is mentioned in one of the books about the Python team.

Re: John cleese

I like his work, paricularly with Monty Python, but he doesn't come across as someone I'd particularly get on with if I ever met him (which I won't obviously)..........I prefer Michael Palin tbh.

I agree totally with that sentiment. In interviews he comes across as quite an intense person, as if the smallest thing irritates him. And all this whingeing about his last divorce sticks in my throat. Divorced 4 times, in his 70s, and still worth £10 million. Why didn't he get a pre-nup and/or not live in California. You would have thought he would know he'd get hammered if he divorced yet again. Then the silly bugger gets hitched again! My sympathy for his financial "plight" is a bit thin on the ground. He seems to have lost the plot.
