I just asked her

she said she does not know them either
(another girl has piped up that she does not know
who the scaffold are either)

Ok, just checking.

I know this might sound 'strange', but I just don't find Monty Python at all funny....

Heresy! Heresy!

EDIT
Actually, you're not alone. If you watch any of the very early episodes, you'll notice that the studio audience sits in stunned silence as least as often as it actually laughs at anything. I think a lot of people claim they like it because it was such a major cult phenomenon they simply couldn't be seen not to.

yes - but you have heard of them



also - she being a rugby fan from Treorchi
I find it astonishing to hear she has never heard the song
Sospan Fach either

Aww, don't be too hard on Peachey, he actually started a decent thread, it was always a matter of time before he succumbed to the temptation to post something inane.

How would I know that I didn't find them funny, if I had not heard of them/watched the films etc?

Of course I've heard of them, just don't find any of it funny, that's all.

Sosban Fach
Mae bys Meri-Ann wedi brifo,
A Dafydd y gwas ddim yn iach.
Mae'r baban yn y crid yn crio,
A'r gath wedi scrapo Joni bach.
Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tân,
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr,
A'r gath wedi scrapo Joni bach
Dai bach yn sowldiwr, Dai bach yn sowldiwr,
Dai bach yn sowldiwr, a gwt ei grys e mas
Mae bys Mari Ann wedi gwella,
A Dafydd y gwas yn ei fedd;
Mae'r baban yn y crud wedi tyfu,
A'r gath wedi huno mewn hedd.
Sospan fach yn berwi ar y tân
