based  hotelier John Cleese (qv) met whilst filming on location with the  Monty Python team. Mr. Sinclairs irascible antics included:  berating Terry Gilliam (qv) for eating his meals in "too American"  a way; throwing Eric Idle (qv)s briefcase over a wall because of  a "bomb scare" (the scare was that Idle left the briefcase in the  reception area); after Graham Chapman (qv) requested an omelet  made with three eggs, Sinclair brought him an omelet with three  fried eggs perched on top. When asked by Cleese to call for a taxi,  he argued with Cleese and took his time calling for the cab.
