So I was just lying on my sofa when I found myself underfoot. That damn Monty Python foot gets everywhere. Nowhere is safe!!!
For we’re here visiting underfoot.

This was a catchphrase of the Gumbys from Monty Python's Flying Circus.
The Our Daily Challenge group has chosen If I only had a brain as the topic for today.

In recent times the castle was brought to fame by the Monty Python team, appearing in their film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It also appeared in the film Highlander: Endgame. The Castle's implausably picturesque appearance, with its bewitching island setting against a dramatic backdrop of mountains, has made it a favourite subject for postcards and calendars, and something of a cliché image of Scottish Highland scenery. It should be noted, however, that Stalker is entirely authentic; it is one of the best-preserved medieval tower-houses surviving in western Scotland.
Castle Stalker is in Appin, Argyll, situated on the A828 between Ballachulish and Conel.
No, seriously, that's the name of it.
It'll be a few more days before my internet access is reliable enough for me to begin catching up with all your photographs. Tuesday at the earliest, though I'll probably be jet lagged. :-)

I'm a HUGE fan of Monty Python, and it was with great sadness I learned of Terry Jone's passing.
A truly talented and funny man.
Thank you for making me laugh until the tears rolled down my cheeks Terry. You will be greatly missed.

An impressive Norman castle overlooking the River Gwendraeth in Carmarthenshire, south Wales. It was here that the first scene in the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail was filmed. It is now owned and managed by Cadw.
I wanted to display my crusaders and tried to give a hint to the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" from 1975 with the squire and his epic coconut husks ;)
I found this lovely little gargoyle in the garden of a street near to where I live - he cheered me up after a bad experience. He seems to be a real charmer with that winning smile ...
"The Ministry of Silly Walks" is a sketch from the Monty Python comedy troupe's television show Monty Python's Flying Circus. The episode first aired on September 15, 1970. This sketch involves John Cleese as a bowler-hatted civil servant in a fictitious British government ministry responsible for developing silly walks through grants. Cleese, throughout the sketch, walks in a variety of silly ways. It is these various silly walks, more than the dialogue, that has earned the sketch its popularity. Cleese has cited the physical comedy of Max Wall, probably in character as Professor Wallofski, as important to its conception."
Glen Coe is a glen in the Highlands of Scotland. It lies in the southern part of the Lochaber committee area of Highland Council, and was formerly part of the county of Argyll. It is often considered one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Scotland, and is a part of the designated National Scenic Area of Ben Nevis and Glen Coe. The narrow glen shows a dramatically grim grandeur. The glen, approaching from the east on the main A82 road, is surrounded by wild and precipitous mountains. The scenic waterfalls in the Pass of Glen Coe was used as the location for The Bridge of Death and The Gorge of Eternal Peril in filming Monty Python and the Holy Grail, attracting Monty Python pilgrims. Sets for the third Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, were built near to the bottom of Clachaig Gully, north of the Clachaig Inn.
A scenic waterfall in the Pass of Glen Coe located at the A82 near Glencoe. Again it started raining when I took this photo.
Glen Coe is een vallei in de Schotse Hooglanden. De vallei is in de ijstijd door een gletsjer uitgesleten, en heeft een brede U-vorm. De vallei is genoemd naar de er doorheen stromende rivier de Coe. Aan de onderkant van de vallei, bij Loch Leven, ligt het dorp Glencoe, en de buurtschappen Upper Carnoch en Lower Carnoch. Door Glen Coe loopt de A82, een belangrijke verkeersweg van Glasgow naar Inverness. Glen Coe biedt vele mogelijkheden voor wandelaars en klimmers, en in de winter kan er geskied worden. De watervallen in de Pas van Nauwe vallei Coe werden gebruikt als plaats voor The Bridge of Death en The Gorge of Eternal Peril in de film van Monty Python de Heilige Graal. Het decor voor de derde film van Harry Potter, Harry Potter en de Gevangene van Azkaban, werd gebouwd aan de Clachaig Geul in het noorden bij de Herberg Clachaig.
"Exbury Gardens is a famous garden in Hampshire, which belongs to a branch of the Rothschild family. It is situated in the village of Exbury, just to the east of Beaulieu across the river from Bucklers Hard. It is a spectacular 200 acre site, world-famous for the Rothschild Collection of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and rare trees and shrubs,"
"Bravely bold Sir Robin
Rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die,
Oh brave Sir Robin.
He was not at all afraid
To be killed in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin..."

"That's, that's enough music for now lads, there's dirty work afoot."
Rev. Brian Cohen takes a sneak peek at the poster for Monty Python's Life of Brian, curious as to the title character with whom he shares a common name.
Monty Python's Life of Brian was released in 1979 and created quite a furor amongst religious types as being blasphemous. It wasn't but it did take a satirical look at the fecklessness of organised religion. But most importantly, it was hysterically funny with classic scene after classic scene.
As a note of trivia, the script was completed and filming about to start when the financing was pulled by the backers. A friend of Python Eric Idle came to the rescue and financed the film because he wanted to see it made so he could watch it. That friend was Beatle George Harrison whose production company, Handmade Films, provided the money to ensure the film would be completed.
We're Here looks at The Monty Python Side of Religious Expression today.
how do you do, good lady. I am traversing my realm. I am Cedric, your king.
I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective.
a what?
but what do I know? if you're a king, we're living in a self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working class is endlessly repressed.
please, please, good woman, I am in haste. who is the lord of these lands?
lord? we don't have a lord. we're an anarcho-syndicalist commune.
yes, yes.
we take turns to be executive officer for the week, but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting, by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs...
I see.
...but by a two thirds majority in the case of...
I've heard enough! I order you to be quiet!
order, eh? who do you think you are?
I am your king you bloody peasant!
there it is! there's the violence inherent in the system! I'm calling a communal meeting right now! king indeed!
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.
And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.
So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...
by Eric Idle
When I checked in to my Pattaya hotel I was told I had a room overlooking the sea - they didn't mention the very large palm tree that stood inbetween... Oh well, the leaves were beautiful (they reminded me of nature's window blinds) and that helped me to always look on the bright side of life :-)

When I saw todays group for Myonty Python how could I not do a silly walk. And in doing so, I found it's a lot harder than it looks.
