[edit] who?
"Chapman's ashes were scattered over the summit of Snowdon, North Wales by Sherlock on June 18, 2005."
who in the name of the killer rabbit is Sherlock?
- Sherlock, as it states earlier in the article, was Chapmans lover. David Sherlock to be precise.--Crestville 13:48, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
5.6.06: In the "Death" section: "Those at his side at the time of his parting were John Cleese, Michael Palin, and John Chapman's wife. It is noted that John Chapman himself walked in only seconds after Graham had died, and Cleese had to be escorted into another room to overcome his grief; he had never seen anyone die before.
-
- 1. Who is John Chapman? Given his surname and the context, I assume that he's a close relative, but some explanation should be given at the first reference to him.
- 2. The structure of "It is noted that John Chapman himself walked in only seconds after Graham had died" suggests some missing, important text, presumably about some underlying relationship dynamics. If this isn't the case, and if the author sees this note, then please revise acoordingly. Thanks.
[edit] eulogy
The external link to the eulogy is on limited bandwidth and might be unavailable sometimes (like right now). Anybody know an alternative location?

[edit] new eulogy
Found it on youtube
- Miketheshrubber
- still not the whole thing, though. it sounds awfully perverse, for some reason, but it would be nice if someone could find the entire service. the one on youtube is half of cleese's eulogy, and then just the group and others singing ALOTBSOL. riana 10:59, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Changed the part about Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. It's from Meaning of Life, not Life of Brian.... jim r selleck
No, it isn't. Vitriden 17:18, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personal Life
Is there a reason that Cleese leaving is mentioned in the anecdote of the bigoted woman writing in and Idle responding? Is there some implication I'm missing? Alvis 05:29, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, if Idle said he "killed" him, and he left the show after that...--165.234.186.241 19:18, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
I've understood that Chapman battled severe alcoholism in the turn of the 70-80's; i.a. Douglas Adams is mentioned, in one of his biographies, to recall that they drank excessively while working with each other. I believe that Chapman succesfully overcame his alcoholism later. Should some of this be included? Naphra 15:00, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
The first line of Personal Life says "Chapman was an alcoholic in the 1970s,"
Ah, so it does. My bad. Naphra
[edit] Citation Needed
I re-added the bit in Legacy about Grahams ashes being scattered on Snowdon. David Sherlock is my Uncle and told me about it. Other than that I don't know how else to prove it's true! It just is. So if somebody can tell me how better I should write it then please let me know. Thanks.
