8 but don't ask me how :erm: Must have actually listened at school now and then :p:

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Cos you're an undercover swot! :PP:

I got 9/10 - being forced to study Shakespeare did come in useful, after all! :rofl:

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

I did Macbeth, Hamlet and Lear at school/college. Also read Richard III. Can't be doing with the soppy ones though, and the comedies don't appeal.

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Incredibly I got 9/10, although a fair bit of that was lucky guesses!

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

8/10 - not bad :D

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Snap and for the same reason.

Never did Shakespear at school (not O'Level English Lit). Just what I have picked up over time I suppose.

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Ah great minds think alike because I was teaching IT(I sat there while year 10 got on with their GCSE coursework) so I wasted a few minutes at the beeb site too(so many places are blocked at school :rolleyes:).I got 8/10 which I thought was good because it's been a long time since I did anything but Macbeth,Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet so it was a nice surprise.

They also didn't even get to Merchant of Venice

"If you pr*ck us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that."

Or Twelfth Night

"If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die."

Oh Shakespeare was such a genius.:tu:

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

3/10

Well its been a while since I last studied Shakespeare.

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Same here, chance level. Not surprising as I never studied Shakespeare. Either that or, as per the BBC title, I am not very smart ;)

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

3 / 10 and they were guesses, strongly helped by the title of this thread :dunce:

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

6 / 10 - not bad bearing in mind I haven't read or seen any Shakespeare since I did my A-levels (and I failed them :D ).

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

will not even attempt it, never studied, or even read a shakespear novel

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Didn't bother trying it :dunce: ...buy I did find the Shakespeare Insult Kit :D

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Rammy! How dare you hijack this thread, thou beslubbering unchin-snouted canker blossom!!

:D

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

i got 3........ :( They need to have an Eastender quiz so I can improve my average!

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

You traitor! How can you call yourself a "Saaf Laandoner" after that?! :D

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

im penning a soap set in Brixton as we speak.

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

That'll be the first soap seen in Brixton for about 30 years then :D

Re: Alas poor Cordelia

anyway nugget, you need to change your name. its making me hungry

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

I can't change my name - how would people know where to look for top quality comedy ;) :disturbd:

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

You could use this for your avatar.

People would be unable to stop lauging :D

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Well, did you see the hysteria that The Beatles used to cause ;)

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

True, but the Beatles actually had some sort of talent. :)

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Thats easy for you to say! :D

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Thou art a general offence, and every man should beat thee.
:D

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

I've got talent - I keep it in a box under the bed ;)

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

6/10 and I've never read his pile of outdated tripe.

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Let vultures gripe thy guts!

:D

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

ive yet to see THAT title on the top shelf ;)

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

See, that's where we differ. My talents lie in in bed. Not in a box underneath it. :cool: :p:

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

You're obviously not looking hard enough :angel:

Re: Alas poor Cordelia

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Your only talent in a bed is planting roses :PP:

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

I hear they can give you quite a pr1ck :erm:

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

fight! fight! fight! fight!

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

First time for everything, eh :erm: ;)

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Did I mention I don't have a garden? :(

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

You can have mine if you want - it's a bluddy disgrace :disturbd:

More to the point, if you haven't got a garden, where on earth were you going with that dibber the other day ;)

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

I have to refer you to Graham's website there :blush:
