A passionate fan of Monty Python and its film and TV incarnations, one especially fond of quoting verbatim whole sketches by heart, walking in
Ministry of Silly Walks fashion or watching Monty Python videos online. Patterned, obviously, on "old boy," as in a graduate of a prestigious English
public school, with the
inevitable variants for various such, e.g., "Old Etonian," "Old Harrovian," "Old Reptonian," "Old Wykehamist," &c.
In Blackpool recently, I came across this rather campy Old Pythonian on the
Promenade; he could whistle "The
Lumberjack Song" while going into that rather disapproving
Ministry of Silly Walks gait, all the while wearing a Pepperpot-type dress.
