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"?

Default 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.

How ironic. 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.)

BTW, the picture (cropped and somewhat altered) makes its appearance here
as well:

I make stove top bread frequently. I make dough, flatten it (usually) to fit the bottom of my cast iron frypan, and cook it really slowly. Sometimes I let it rise, sometimes not. Depending on the dough volume, it ranges from a half inch thick to two Tim Recipes 0 22-12-2005 12:15 PM
