All The World's A Stage........

Shakespeare walks into a pub and the landlord says " you're Bard ! ".

And all the men and women merely customers;
They have their exits ( save for one Lady MacMeire ) and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts
( businessman, politician, slayer of football clubs ).

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Katrien is in the Sun,
( Forsooth ! In the sports pages announcing the latest long term appointment, many hours after the news was broken on a piece of parchment nailed to a tree in Floyd Road – twitter ye not ! ).




Greenwich.

We want Roland out !
We want Roland out ! 

First Witch.

“ Methinks thou dost protest too much ! “.

We seek him here, we seek him there,
Those Addicks seek him everywhere.
Is he in Leuven ? Is he in Halle ?
That damned, elusive septuagenarian.

Darlings ! I expect to see my fellow thespians in S.E.7 tomorrow !


Come On Thou Reds !

  8. Some good suggestions folks but I expected nothing less form my fellow actors ! Richard III seems entirely appropriate for us cockneys !
