Last time I checked, it wasn’t. However, my office mate (fortunately) isn’t here for me to ask him. He can quote that soliloquy word for word.
Do you want to bet? Do you think the mods would be more upset over monetary or flirtatious bets?
Bet on what?
A crutch, a crutch! Why call you for a sword?
Whether my previous post was an accurate quotation.
<inside voice>Hope no-one realises it could be an accurate quote from another classic work of fiction such as ‘Huck Finn’</inside voice>
You’re inside voice became an outside voice. I know its not a Shakespearean quote at any rate. I studied the play in question extensively a while ago. Heck, I even played Ophelia.
This retired English teacher almost has tears in her eyes.
But Bryan, you gave me the hiccups.
Is this a dagger I see before me?
Just for a change of scenery
My sword, I say! Old Montague is come,
And flourishes his blade in spite of me.
The play? It’s several! 
I can recognise two plays in there at a minimum, and my knowledge of Shakespeare derives mainly from seeing Rosencratz and Guildenstone are Dead.
If anyone wants to read it again, the full Huck Finn passage is here: http://www.classicreader.com/read.php/sid.1/bookid.364/sec.21
In any other thread I’d object to “you’re,” but I feel it’s entirely appropriate talking abotu Shakespeare
:smack: Like I said, my office mate isn’t here to tell me exactly which quote comes from where. The “you’re” comes from not enough coffee.
Hmmm… maybe I should do as Hamlet suggests to Ophelia and get me to a nunnery.
Astronomy’s close enough, isn’t it? Besides, what about you’re boyfriend?
Er, actually, astronomy has far too many men to even come close to being a nunnery
And as for the boyfriend, damn! Can’t do without him. I think I’ll scratch that plan of emulting Ophelia, and go for emulating Puck instead - that I can do - with hillarious results.
How now spirit whither wander thee?
To cambridge via birmingham, funnily enough. Speaking of which, I need to go pack
Really? University term hasn’t even started yet!
No, but the internet connection’s a lot better for a start
Good point! How I miss that internet connection.
“GESUNDHEIT!”
There’s also most of my friends, free gym and tennis courts, privacy, and a 100m walk to sainsburys
No, I don’t know how I’ll cope without the college connection - get a job with a nice connection with any luck…
PS. You know you just missed a 1000 post celebration, right?
You find ways and means. Generally, getting a PhD place
Damn! I did didn’t I! Nevermind. I’ll survive…
