The very best of William Shakespeare

Not into him.

Bet he couldn't do it on a wet wednesday night in Stafford.

Bet he couldn't do it on a wet wednesday night in Stafford.

Or Stratford even.

Or Stratford even.

Glad you spotted the deliberate mistake. Though it's scuttled my plans to ask questions about it later.


"TAXI!"

He was one boring bugger although probably wasn't him what wrote it anyway.

I might be swayed by the fact we ONLY studied Bill in my education. No Dickens, no Brontes, just this git. Merchant of Venice (the best imo), Midsummer shite, Henry V and something else.

My O level was Henry V and WW1 poetry. F*cking miserable time that was.

I bite my thumb at you lot.

Let me have men about me that are fat;
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep o' nights:
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look;
He thinks too much: such men are dangerous.

Julius Caesar, Act 1 Scene ii.

For god's sake, let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of Kings...

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Henry V, his finest moment. 'We few, we happy few. We band of brothers...'

I think this might have been Phil's half time message!

Sorry, it's not Shakespeare. But it's about KDB, that I'm sure of:

And, says Mrs. Mountstuart, while grand phrases were mouthing round about him: “You see he has a leg”.
That you saw, of course. But after she had spoken you saw much more.
(from The Egoist, by George Meredith).

As for Shakespeare, well, for José Mourinho, I always presumed the Bard was thinking of him when he penned this:

“I will do such things—What they are yet I know not, but they shall be the terrors of the earth!” (Lear, II.iv. 280-282)

This would have been an appropriate quote for Big Mal's venture into Europe!

To the Globe Theatre owner:
'What do you mean it's crap??
There's 8 dead bodies at the end and he gets to shag his mum!'
