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.

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?

What’s in a namechange? That which we call AnyFucker/ by any other name would still know exactly when to leave the bastard.

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?

Tell me, where is fancy bread?

If you don't have an artisanal baker nearby, Booths aisle 3 is your best bet.

'Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow! You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout Till you have drench'd our steeples, drown'd the cocks! You sulphurous and thought-executing fires, Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts...'

OK, OYBBK, thanks for the weather alert...

The funeral baked meats
Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.

And there was a grabby poem in the invitation.

And it was child free.
