Known for many, many quotes that have passed into everyday usage, Shakespeare was an unbelievably great writer. All human emotions and life stories can be found in his plays which are luxuriously rich in meaning.
Meaning no offence to the many devotees of the Bard, I think Romeo and Juliet is the silliest, most boring play I have ever read, studied, acted in or watched. Uh-oh, there goes that last romantic streak!
Streak or streaking may refer to running naked in a public place. We recently witnessed a male streaker during a cricket match here.
Here streaking seems to be very infrequent these days. I saw a streaker once at Wimbledon when Agassi was playing.
Playing cards for big money is what the Greeks love to do. I once witnessed a game of Manilla when there was $100.000 art stake.
Stake out is the police term for surveillance, which some people still pronounce in the French way as though it were spelt surveyance. People also say ONvelope à la française but to me that is affected.
Affected and effected are two words that often are confused. I must admit I regularly have difficulties to use the correct word.
Word games help us stave off the sluggishness of mind concomitant on old age. But Terry Pratchett has Alzheimer's so brilliant wordplay does not prevent that.
That's a good point. How are you, Clary, not too cold in Devon I hope.
hopes are the thing that keeps man going. Without hopes and dreams life is as good as death
Death is the end, I believe, though some say it's the beginning of a new existence. It' far more pleasant to think about this wonderful life, though.
'Though very fat, he almost ran To save the little gentleman' is a line from the Cautionary Verse about Jim, which my mother used to recite to me. It always made me laugh.
Laugh means to find amusement or pleasure in something. Listening to a good comedian is one example.
Example of a logical fallacy: the bare assertion fallacy. This is a fallacy in formal logic where a premise in an argument is assumed to be true merely because it says that it is true.
true i am a lill late to wish all of you here for easter. But then the wish is earnest right from my heart.
Heart warming stories seem to spread exponentially through email. In a small way they illustrate the essential power of the World Wide Web, information shared unselfishly for the edification of human kind.
Kind thoughts to the Tibetans, and hoping that the stem cell research bill goes through. Two of the top stories on our news.
News I do watch regularly on our TV. However all the other rubbish they dish up does not interest me and gets the flick.
Flick away all mosquitoes, lest they bite you and infect you with malaria or some other deadly disease. They have killed more humans than any other animal.
Animal shelf was an ABC kids programme. In it there was Gumpa the good natured bear, Woeful the sneezing monkey, Stripey the woollen zebra and his best friend Getup the giraffe and Little Mut was soft and cuddly.
