Michael Palin CBE

Look at him. Just look at his lovely face. The lovely face of Palin. Using advanced technology, scientists have tried to impose a scowl onto Palin's face. Afterwards they were reported as saying "we just couldn't do it, we killed his pets and broke his kneecaps but he was still asking us if we'd like a drink, and holding doors open for us". These same scientists also observed that if you were take the loveliness out of Michael Palin, he would look like Michael Portillo.

When in Monty Python he was getting by on his comic acting and writing. He was excellent at this, but in a sense his true talent, loveliness, wasn't being put to it's full use. But in 1989 he was given a travel series and he travelled the world introducing foreigners to his charms. in fact it's a wonder we actually have any need for a queen when we already have a Palin.

Palin Facts! He has a train (Virgin Trains Super Voyager 221130) and an asteroid (asteroid 9621 Michaelpalin) .
