Nice! I had this posted on my blog's info page for ages until the host
website went down. Someone else supplied me with the full image (more background, and protesters), but small, so it survives in an icon these days. Is it true that Monty Python coined that line--"Make tea not war"?

Jennifer,
I used to know many Monty Python sketches off by heart when I was a young chap. But now I can't remember them. They may well have coined the phrase. It sound just the sort of thing they would. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore used to have a series called Not Only But Also with two workmen characters who were always eulogizing tea with the refrain, "Nothing like a nice cup of tea." You might be able to find audio recordings somewhere on the web. Christopher www.christopherrichards.com |

I saw this image in passing just a few hours ago while searching Google Images for something totally unrelated. I *think* it was this image. I didn't examine it, I just remember the phrase. Being one who likes tea and dislikes war, I found it memorable. Anyway, trying the search phrase again, there it is. (The search phrase was "give peas a chance". Don't ask.) -- fD "God's not on our side 'cause he hates idiots also." -- Clint Eastwood as Blondie (_The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly_) |
