More of the Full Monty and the clever clogs

Saw the new one today and he is now at home and all is well.

Here are some Monty moments - 

At the top Field Marshall Montgomery - he of El Alamein fame, of which Churchill said of the victory  'It is not the end, nor even the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning'
Percy 'Monty' Montgomery - the South African fullback - he of the white boots
Monty Python - the famous BBC TV show
and of course a modern expression The Full Monty

  

The clever clogs.  

What is the meaning of KIPP - Old English; means 'brow of a hill or crown'
What is the meaning of MONTY - Old French; from mont meaning 'hill' 

They are not as silly as they look. 

(But Blogger is - the fonts are all over the place. I use Arial but Georgia is the default. A problem is that although I change it, it reverts back to Georgia - sometimes - so it gets an untidy look!! Grrrr. I think I will change to Georgia  Grrrr again)
