Pete, I wish you better luck with your polar heart monitor than I had with mine. 3 weeks and a quick death.

The Holy Grail was one of my favorites. It had some parts that were slow, but most was brilliant. The black knight wanting to fight after all of his limbs had been chopped off, the ballad of Sir Robin ("and brave Sir Robin chickened out." "Stop it! Don't say that!) The catapulted animals. I liked "Jabberwocky" much less, though it did have one admirable nude scene of the Princess. "Life of Brian" had less good moments than Holy Grail, but I enjoyed it.

You had better be a mechanic if you buy an Austin Healey. Though not quite as balky as an MG Midget or a Sprite or a Triumph Spyder, they still require a lot of tinkering. I had a friend who had an MGB and he was in great shape from pushing it off the road. <g> But it was great looking.

Speaking of warm beer, I remember the old Germans who actually put a heater into their beer because the local gasthaus was serving it slightly below room temp. <g> I really don't mind warm beer. But when the Europeans give you a coke, warm, and put two tiny pieces of ice in it, it just doesn't cut it.
