Zounds! It is Shakespeare Week, apparently.

To celebrate, we happy few, we band of brothers* thought we'd ask you clever folk to put on an antic disposition and post as if the cast of Shakespeare's plays had access to Mumsnet, similar to the classic Biblical Mumsnet thread

For example:

  • SPORN - Out, out damned spot!
  • DH has become really obsessed about an old handkerchief he gave me, is this a red flag?
  • Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have to use tutors....

The three posts that tickle MNHQ the most will be bound for a prize all too precious (or whatever we can find in the cupboard).

So if MN be the food of love, post on....

  • If you thought we wouldn't take this opportunity to shoehorn in and abuse Shakespearean quotes in for no good reason, you thought wrong.

Can I feed a child chipolata as weekly lunch box treat? Sausages massively improve children's day to day studying time, though in London they all see sausages not as helpful?

Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of AIBU,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of vipers,
And by drip feeding end them?

I would challenge you to a battle of wits
But I see you are a viper mumsnetter

These are brilliant Grin Mumsnet, Thy wit is a very bitter sweeting; it is a most sharp sauce.

AIBU to ask this woman to stop her biting child? I pointed out that from forth the kennel of her womb hath crept a hell-hound that doth hunt us all to death. She just called him a toad and asked what he'd done to his brother before suggesting she should have strangled him in her accursed womb. I may need to find another country playgroup.

Hmm - methinks that London powers political, and administrative, could have got their act together enough to make their week coincide with the national event. Doh.

If we breastfeeders have offended, think but this and all is mended; that you have but slumbered here, while these boobies did appear...

Reddit is empty, and all the trolls are here.
