Oh for pity sake.
It's "naughty", not "naught", "nought" and definitely not "not".
"who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it"
If you can't hear the distinct "nor-tea", you need to get your ears checked.
Other good reasons...
If you want evidence of the Python propensity for putting jokes in throw away words, take a careful listen to the tree names on the lumberjack song. You'll need to find the right one ... I think it's the one on "And now for something completely different". Anyone know where I can find a "Leicestershire Flashing Oak" tree?
(If you're feeling lazy, google "lumberjack song maidenhead", it will find you some almost right transcriptions)
Finally, to anyone that thinks imdb is a valid reference for accurate script references... They appear to employ no editorial oversight, the quotes page is pretty much entirely user generated. Evidenced by the stupid habit of them having multiple versions of the same quote on the same page.
Captcha: Minim ... I feel a bit crotchety, but I'll see you are the bar

QFT and FFS. It's "naughty" clearly. It never even occurred to me that it could be anything else. Maybe the problem is with Americans trying to understand Palin's accent, compounded by him doing a silly voice on top of that.

I bet that lame password restriction is due to the use of simple XOR encryption without encoding the result. When a plaintext character matches the encryption key character in the same position, zero is the result. An ASCII zero probably causes all kinds of trouble for whatever is storing that result. So, instead of fixing the problem (storing only a hash, or Base64 encoding the encryption output), they tell you not to match the encryption key at all. A few dozen more tries on that password input and it will eventually tell you the entire encryption key, one character position at a time!
P.S. I only know this because I have been guilty of it myself...

Don't you have them backwards? The single equals would be assigning "security" to "the", after all.

Lets not play these people the "I'd like to report a burglary" sketch then grin

As a Lancashire lad I can tell you his definition of our dialect is a ridiculous simplification ... though the accent differs from West to East, Lancastrian, Yorkshire and Scouse have essentially absorbed the qualities of their neighbours. Fair, for and fur are all pronounced to rhyme ... fur, fer, fur. r's vary h's are dropped all over the place, other letters get randomly inserted. the gets reduced to t' and prefixed to the following word. "to the" becomes "ter" still use thy, thou and thee. aught and naught (pronounced /ert/, /aut/ or /out/ and /nert/,/naut/ or /nout/) are used for anything and nothing. was and were get switched around a lot double negatives are common but treated as single negatives fairly common to hear things like "I'm in to <band name> me"
So yes, the dialects proposed by that page are fairly over simplified, but a nice thought

Monty Python, Monty Python, hmm, let me think. ... Guys, I think, I've seen a reference to Monty Python in a webcomic.
Ah, yes, it was the mandatory xkcd reference: http://xkcd.com/16/

The "naught" could be a very posh English pronounciation of "not".
If you were to listen to the Queen, you would hear this sort of accent.
"One does nort put up with this." Seriously.
Now the question is just - is Palin's character speaking in a faux-posh accent.

Sorry, I only know how to identify a Larch
Admin
Michael Palin went to Oxford, that automatically makes him somewhat posh.
But no, in the scene in question he is doing a faux-ecclesiastical accent. And he's clearly saying "naughty".
Admin
Case closed. People who still think it's not "naughty" need to get their ears cleaned out.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy so many people are interested in an interracial relationship. black woman want to have fun with white man and black guys want to have fun with white women. There are many sites focusing on this kind of relationships such as [== B l a c k W h i t e C u p i d [DOT] c o m_] recommend it here= - [B l a c k W h i t e C u p i d [DOT] c o m]

I am glad you can't hear any dialect in it.

The past is a different country.
