I thought I would jump on the Dave and Daniel bandwagon and post blogs about people who have inspired me to be the person I am today.
It will be a monthly thing.
First of all:
Graham Chapman:
Seen above as Brian in Life of Brian.
Graham Chapman was studying medicine at Cambridge when he realised he might be stuck doing medicince for the rest of his life.
He then found himself in numerous comedy shows as he found he rather liked it.
Monty Python made him famous. He drank a lot. He was sitting down one day with John Cleese. John Cleese had written a sketch about taking a toaster back to the shop becuse it was broken and the manager telling him it was fine. Graham, drunk and lying down said "Wouldn't it be funnier if it were a Norwegian blue parrot." and thus the Parrot Sketch was created.
Graham Chapman said of his birth:
"My parents were outraged when I arrived because they been expecting a heterosexual, black Jew with several rather amusing birth defects as they needed the problems."
He was King Arthur in Monty Python and the Holy Grail,
Brian in Life of Brian (when he'd given up alcohol) and he also dressed up as a carrot at a conference as a statement.
Then he died of throat cancer.
The most eccentric of the Python's will never be forgot.

'He will never be forgot" is still a legitimate sentence.
