"I think he would adapt a quote to:
Some are born 'Fab', sone campaign for 'Fabness', some achieve 'Fabness', and some have 'Fabness' thrust upon them.
"
Is the forum gossip all about Fabness today? Gossip is another one of Wm Shakespeare's words. |

Love this xxxx.. and on this day his Birthday. x
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 parde |

He had a way with words, did that bard. |

In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes,
For they in thee a thousand errors note;
But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise,
Who in despite of view is pleased to dote;
Nor are mine ears with thy tongue's tune delighted,
Nor tender feeling, to base touches prone,
Nor taste, nor smell, desire to be invited
To any sensual feast with thee alone:
But my five wits nor my five senses can
Dissuade one foolish heart from serving thee,
Who leaves unsway'd the likeness of a man,
Thy proud hearts slave and vassal wretch to be:
Only my plague thus far I count my gain,
That she that makes me sin awards me pain |

"Thought his bday was unknown??
23rd April 1564 to 23rd April 1616 are the dates most commonly attributed to his birth and death."
It is unknown - births were not registered then but baptisms were. He was baptised on 26th April and, traditionally, babies were often baptised 3 days after birth - but not necessarily. So 23rd April has been commonly accepted, and celebrated, as his birthday. |

My favourite speeches/poetry are from Henry V (the two battle speeches) and Julius Caesar (Friends, Romans, Countrymen). Absolutely stunning examples of the finest rhetoric. Clearly Churchill was influenced by him when he said, 'Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed, by so many, to so few' as, in Henry V it says,'We few, we happy few, we band of brothers'. It's the speech just before the Battle of Agincourt where it is announced that the English are outnumbered 5 to 1. And they still kick ass just like the fighter pilots in the Battle of Britain. |

"I often read the statement that if you filled a typing pool full of monkeys and left them long enough they could reproduce the works of Shakespeare.
Lickety maybe you could find out by doing this?"
If you filled a typing pool full of monkeys then you would end up with many broken typewriters and monkey shit everywhere.  |

"My English teacher at school believed that Shakespeare was just an agent who published works by other people. "
I have a very good book about whether Shakespeare actually wrote his plays and poems. The evidence is overwhelming that he did. Although at least one (HenryVII) at the end of his career was co-written. |

Yes I do but not until 3045 AD. |
