oops truth versus wokery

Judging by the number of wives he's had, who can't all be at fault surely, and probably none are, Cleese must be a pretty overbearing and maybe neurotic character in real life.

Perhaps in his Basil Fawlty role, he didn't have to act very much and was basically playing himself!

[d000hg]

That's his career ended.

He's increasingly got form in this area. Pretty outspoken, generally with good reason but not always put in the most useful way
He's well known as a somewhat spiky and 'difficult' character, like many artists. Brilliant but doesn't suffer fools* gladly.

*in his view quite a lot of people

I don't know many octogenarians or divas who aren't prickly.

Yeah because only 50% of marriages end in divorce and divorcees sometimes become serial divorcees. Its pretty difficult for Mr Cleese to marry up based on fame or entertainment talent. Don't cry for the ex wives generally they did very well out of it financially.

Well saying the history of humans is pretty universally horrible and slavery is the third oldest profession is accurate and fair.

Though it does spoil the prevailing narrative that the naughty white man invented slavery, us Africans didn't enslave or sell anyone. This is despite records that prove 90% of African slaves were sold by their countrymen a practice that was country wide a 1000 years before the westerners arrived, we want oodles of dosh NOW!

That is the problem with telling a lie you can't fool all the people all the time!

So...

3. Slavery (aka Permiedom)
2. Contractor
1. Prostitute

Got it.

Spending a night with NLyUK you probably have got it!


1. NLyUK's profession.
2. War.
3. What do we do with all these captives? lets sell them as slaves. That reasoning works for slave traders since the dawn of time!

Well they have to put up with you... anyway Mr C has been known as prickly since his 20s

So if they got paid off they must be fine? Money fixes everything.

To the best of my knowledge he hasn't assaulted anyone and the divorces were mainly civil so yes going from obscurity to $12 million dollars in the bank does ensure a softer landing. I'm happy to shack up with Beyonce or even Naomi Campbell for $12 million. You know it takes two to get married?

Other celebrities renowned as being prickly are available, as his reputation precedes him and his wives weren't teenagers one really has to believe the wives knew what they were getting into. He hardly went full on Johnny Depp style bad husbands.

Are you good at ducking? Otherwise Beyonce would be safer as long as you keep her sister sweet.
