Monty Python Dead Parrot and 16-ton Weight up for Auction

The 9-foot dead parrot and the 16-ton weight we had commissioned for our Monty Python-themed wedding, held at The Ravenswood on Python's 50th anniversary (5 Oct 2019), are being auctioned tomorrow by East Bristol Auctions.

If you've always wanted an oversized dead parrot and to drop a 16-ton weight on people you don't like, now is your chance!

Love Alter Bridge, Nicky Hopkins, Spamalot, Terry Gilliam's "Brazil", Monty Python and I am BFI's Biggest Monty Python Fan. My stepfather invented the Kenwood Chef, my father liberated Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp and my godfather was Jagaddipendra Narayan, the Maharajah of Cooch Behar. Went to Cranleigh School and the University of Surrey. Scientologist. Vegan. East Grinstead. This blog is about all of the above and more, but not necessarily in that order.
