For those unfamiliar, Idle has stated multiple reasons in the past for loathing John Cleese.
Including Idle's own guilt for not standing up to Cleese when he was constantly bullying Terry Jones during Python.

One of Eric Idle's best bits ever was when, at George Harrison's funeral, he said to gathered friends and family, "I'd like to thank Marlboro, without whom you wouldn't be here this morning."

Eric Idle's impression of him in that Python sketch is one of Idle's greatest, funniest performances.

Bill Oddie managed the rare second act of becoming beloved twice: first as a Goodie, then as the wildlife presenter who taught Britain to look up. Eric Idle’s memory is lovely. RIP.
I’m so sad Bill Oddie left us. He was sick for some time and I wrote to him. He auditioned me for The Pembroke Revue in 1963 and I stepped into his roles for The Edinburgh Festival when the Cambridge Footlights went to the West End. We watched England win the World Cup together at Wembley in ‘66.

what or who are your idle’s idols?
The brain is busy even when you’re just zoning out. In a new explainer, @norabradford.bsky.social details the neurobiology of the default mode network, a collection of brain regions that light up when we’re idle:
What Your Brain Is Doing When You’re Not Doing Anything | Quanta Magazine
When your mind is wandering, your brain’s “default mode” network is active. Its discovery 20 years ago inspired a raft of research into networks of brain regions and how they interact with each ...

My dog and Eric Idle's dog played together in a park and we were the only two people there. We had a long, friendly chat about our dogs and then I left. I didn't realize it was him for hours.
I have been a major, major Monty Python fan for decades. I got Flying Circus on DVD the day it came out.

Really enjoyed @ericidle.bsky.social's book talk in London last night. Loved the story about Robin Williams wearing a full mosquito net and the singalong at the end. Can't wait to read the book!

For confused young people and Americans, the name came from Idle's show "Rutland Weekend Television" which was itself a parody of the broadcast channel "London Weekend Television" - Rutland being the smallest and possibly least urban county in the UK.
