And did they read the expergated version of Macbeth as well?

NEVER used expurgated versions of anything. Writers deserve to have read what they actually wrote.

I'm going back to the days when I did O Level English Lit, and the version we read didn't have the bit about "the spirit being willing but the flesh weak". It was at a very "old-school" red brick Boys Grammar in Pembrokeshire.

Reread it when I did A level at a much more progressive Grammar School in Gloustershire. We also did D H Lawrence and part of our required reading was Lady Chatterley, which other than the infamous "bit" I found not very interesting. Certainly not his best writing.

Agreed.

Speaking of thread drift, as one does:

Macbeth, Act 2, Scene 1

"Is this a timepiece which I see before me!

Not 'Out, damned stop(watch)' then?

How did we get from clocks to Macbeth?

Have we eaten on the insane root that takes the reason prisoner? :wonder:

The devil damn thee black thou cream faced loon! Any beer left?

How did we get from clocks to Macbeth?...

No idea. 'Ring the alarum-bell!' (Mac 5, 5)

Some threads on here remind me of YouTube. You start by watching a clip about fishing, then 1 hour later you are watching "Did we really go to the moon".

Love it!

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow ...

The devil damn thee black thou cream faced loon! Any beer left?

Not much - and no Woodfordes at all :( Need to get some more going. Hopefully will started bottling some as well as the barrels so I can have beer at less that 25C in summer! That way I might even have some for the Gaydon meet if any other Yeti-folk are going.

...and back on topic...

The lack of a passenger-visible clock seems to be SWMBO's main gripe about the Yeti. Apparently I don't react quick enough when asked for the time either. I'm not sure I want a window mounted clock but it has prompted me to start looking for something suitable for the dash.

Most Poundland-type shops have little stick-on clocks that would suit, I'm sure.

My dearest beloved seems to have an obsession with the outside temperature, and has a habit of asking me to tell her what the reading on the display says just as I'm trying to negotiate the exit of a busy roundabout or similar, and 'tut tuts' when my reply is not instant. I have to squint to see that part of the display if I'm wearing glasses suitable for seeing where I'm going when I'm driving. Anybody seen a stick on thermometer?

Pretty sure I saw something similar in Lidl yesterday.

Not going to ask where you intend sticking it

Must be a woman thing. My SWMBO is also constantly asking me what the outside temperature is and was really upset that her Panda Cross wasn't equipped with a thermometer.

An ex girl friend used to ask me what the temperature was when we were out on the motor bike. FFS does it matter what it is, if she felt cold she could put another layer on. If she was hot (Bobdog no! but she was kind of wiggly ) she could take a layer (or two) off

I'm reminded of a seaside postcard from many years ago that showed a little middle aged man in a newspaper shop asking a tall, busty, blonde shop assistant "Do you keep stationery miss?" to which she replies "No, I wriggle a bit."

Talking of hot and wiggly, did you know there's a sweet spot in the rev range to make her even more wiggly?

On a ZX6 its about 3500 rpm and on a Hornet 900 it can be found at just under 6000
