Shouldn't the quotes be moved to Wikiquote? --bjwebb 13:52, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Was this really billed as the 300th episode in the UK? I recall that Barting Over was, when they held an entire night of The Simpsons culminating in that episode. The Regina Monologues was certainly promoted a lot, but I don't remember anyone saying it was the 300th. BillyH 20:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I've removed it. If someone finds a source that states that it was billed as episode 300, then feel free to add it back with the source. BillyH 19:56, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

If I remember correctly, Lisa had the line "You've rear ended the queen" after the collision. I'm surprised they let that in. Busjack 18:52, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia section

The last point of the grammar section needs to be punctuated and spellchecked.

[edit] Monty Python and the Holy Grail

After the family repeatedly says MacBeth, Ian Mckellen says it, followed by going "Now I've said it!" To me, this seems a lot like the scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail where the Knights who say Ni cannot hear the word "it" - after other repeadtedly saying the word, the head knights says "it" followed by "Now i've said it!" I wanted to get a second opinion on this before adding it to the cultural references section. JW 21:46, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Nope - The entire point of the Monty Python skit was that "it" became the word that they couldn't hear! The "it" here is just a referent back to MacBeth. Damn, now I've said it ;0 SkierRMH 06:57, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I would say this is not a Monty Phython reference. If it is, it needs more explanation in the article. 68.99.30.65 01:20, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aldwych

Did the bus say 'Aldwych' or 'Aldwych station'? There are lots of buses that are still marked 'Aldwych' (the street), where they terminate, e.g. the No. 9. Andrew Yong 16:18, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

It reads: South Kensington
Knightsbridge - 15
Hyde Par
Aldwych Stn

Hope that helps. SkierRMH 06:55, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mysterious trip to Holland

Weren't those just Homer eating tolpanes on the bathroom? And on the ATM machine he presses 3 buttons and then "OK"?

Just something my friend told me and then i realised, um... is it worth mentioning in the Trivia, that all the voices of english people on the french airing of this episode the people have an englishly french accent?(as if they don't bother putting on an accent?) just wondering if it is worth putting on, thanks!

[edit] Forrest Gump as a Cultural reference

In the beginning, we can see the bill flying. Is is similar to the beginning of Forrest Gump where this is a feather who fly in the sky. I'm right? This can be added? (i havent a perfect english). Thanks EyOne 18:30, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] metric system

"There, near the fireplace, he prays to the "God of England" in his cell, and displays the frequent mistaken American impression that British people prefer to use the metric system"

This is not really a complete mistake. In british schools only the metric system is taugt. The metric system is used for somethings and imperial for others - but imperial has been phased out of education. E.g. height would be in feet and inches, and weight in pounds, speeds can be in either but road signs use mph normally. Milk is measured in pints and you would still say a pint of beer etc. But as i say you are only really taught metric so it is perfered i would say i doubt someone of the younger generations could tell you how many fluid ounces to a pint or inches in a foot or yards to a mile. So compared to America i would say it is far more popular. I'm not exactly sure what Homer says, so i haven't changed it but this i feel is slightly misleading.
