Doctor Who and the moody Dane

Perhaps motivated by the desire to avoid type-casting, David Tennant is to take time off from television, to lead the RSC's forthcoming production of Hamlet. Your correspondent sneaked into early rehearsals. Episode I. Elsinore. The guard-platform of the Castle. Enter HAMLET, HORATIO and MARCELLUS. Hamlet The air bites …

Utterly brilliant!

Ponymous sole

The word has to relate to Hamlet cigars and the commercial that is a story in a nutshell but hyponymous is more like the real fiction tha eponymous.

Not being widely read, did the slaying take place at a specified date or is the idea that sunny days were not synonymous with frosty nights in the goode olde daies?

Pure

Genius

Very good as far as it goes

but with crucial omissions

Does Laertes get a spin-off series set in Cardiff?

What's Fortinbras going to say when he turns up to find them all happily playing Scabble?

The Truth is out there...

Apparently, the English Ambassador was actually reporting on the results of the North Sea International Mornington Crescent Tournament of that year, which, due to certain problems with the design of the playing board in those days, could lead to a quasi-analogue of the Peckham Two-Step when a player was forced to Dudley, persisting until a Welsh Glazier was played at Hardwick Hall.

Take particular note of Horatio's commentary on Fortinbras' over-bold move from Gdansk to Elsinore, which leads to the all-too-obvious riposte which wins the game, at which Fortinbras ruefully declares, conceding the game and ushering Hamlet towards the presentation of the trophy...

Let four captains

Bear Hamlet, like a soldier, to the stage;

For subtle Ilkley, then sweet Dagenham,

Hath played most royally: and, thus his passage,

The soldiers' music and the rights of Ware

Speak loudly for him.

This is a clear reference to what became known as Dee's Diversion, a repeated rightward circling of Ware, through Beds, which allows a nebble on any desired move. It was much used by Pepys, but toi little effect as he seemed to misjudge the timing so often. Because of the major changes to the game in the 19th Century, there is now no little dispute about just what the "soldiers' music" might have been. The "Tower Ballroom" theory has little credence.

It is definitely not Binary Medicine, that's for sure. And considering the present Markets Shenanigans, one has to have a wry smile to oneself on reading .... " Now start thinking about the endless string of trillion dollar swindles that have been accelerating over the past twenty years. The degree of corruption and high level criminality under way today makes the circumstances of, "Taxation without representation" seem desirable in comparison. The fraudsters running the show realize this, and they also know that people are waking up, discussing issues, sending email, creating websites and reading websites, etc."
