    Pretty sure none of Bill's plays featured the line: "You spic ****,"

    I'm providing commentary ffs as how it should go down

    <laugh> spics are Italian right?

    Both the initial lines in my posts above are from romeo and Juliet, but I was going with the earlier comment by @Tel about Shakespeare being a ****y *****<laugh>

    I'm bored sitting her in derby hospital having a coffee

    I'd have prefered it if it did feature lines like that to be honest.
    Add a sense of passion to the proceedings, and not ***gy passion either "Where for art thou?" but a sense of desire to spice things up

    Some of it is quite powerful. King Lear's actually pretty good.

    Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!
    You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout
    Till you have drench'd our steeples, drown'd the cocks!
    You sulphurous and thought-executing fires,
    Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts,
    Singe my white head! And thou, all-shaking thunder,
    Smite flat the thick rotundity o' the world!
    Crack nature's moulds, an germens spill at once,
    That make ingrateful man!

    ...but was it really ****? ... kids loved it (innocently) and the chorus (as amended) is still probably sung at some footie grounds today ... I can remember fondly standing on the Spion Kop at the old Filbo singing " We all live in a blue and white kop" as a youf...

    Most people know the opening line from this speech in As You Like It. The end of it goes on to be quite dark as it describes the final one of the seven ages of life.

    All the world’s a stage,
    And all the men and women merely players;
    They have their exits and their entrances,
    And one man in his time plays many parts,
    His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
    Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.
    Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
    And shining morning face, creeping like snail
    Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
    Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
    Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
    Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
    Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
    Seeking the bubble reputation
    Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
    In fair round belly with good capon lined,
    With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
    Full of wise saws and modern instances;
    And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
    Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
    With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
    His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
    For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
    Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
    And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
    That ends this strange eventful history,
    Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
    Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

    Yeah instead of mercutio going on about swords and tools as innuendo that non of us at 13/14 understood can you imagine if he simply said "I'll arse rape you motherfucker?

    I would have got an A in English lit

    I did get an A in English lit (that and History are the only two subjects I really excelled at), but the whole Shakespeare thing was sooooo ****ing boring.

    I have been advised by my contacts that we have a Transgender in the not606 community, who is well up on Shakespeare, I think we should therefore help embrace Dona Maria's brave decision in life to stand alone and do his...opps...her....oh i don't fooking know he/she own thing...

    I'm sorry fan but that remark is derogatory to a valued member of our community, I think we should be applauding him for his brave decisions in life...
