A gay alcoholic!

My interpretation of that line is, he's just slipped 9 roofies into that guys drink and he's getting a litte impatient because they arent working as fast as Menteith told him they would....


Yes I did just look up Menteith they probably never interact within the actual play itself but I'm making up my own version!
 
In terms of body count on the stage, "Macbeth" might be the bloodiest play of Shakespeare's work, eh?

By the last count it was 4 of his plays I have read so I really couldnt say having not read them all. Macbeth was one of the 4, which I read at school but I really cant remember much other than a very general plot.

According to Yahoo answers which hasnt let me down yet ;) his most violent play is Titus Androniucus. Which I have not read so I can not say.
 
People who ride buses or any other form of public transport and eat, especially those who make that smacking sound with their mouths ... I want them all killed, along with their friends, families and pets!

I also want instructions on how to make a good cheese on toast, and I want it NOW!

Cheese on Toast or "Welsh Rarebit" is the easiest snack for any man to make, you can even make it while drunk.....but remember to turn the grill off when you're finished.

Toast one side of semi-thick bread.

Layer other side with a touch of butter.

Add slices of favorite cheese.

Grill till brown and bubbly.

Forget the extras......... too much trouble.

You're definitely forgetting "The Tragedy of Titus Andronicus" (note the user name good sirs). It was the Bard's first tragedy and definitely his deadliest. It's not very well known, but it's my favorite. Here's the death count:

Mutius, Bassianus, Martius, Quintus, the Jester, the Nurse, Chiron, Demetrius, Lavinia, Tamora, Titus, Saturninus, and Aaron. I think I got 'em all. Basically, everyone dies except for Lucius. A crazy tale indeed...

Yes, of all kinds from "trad" through to the most modern stuff.

We've even produced some decent musicians...

Ronnie Scott's is legendary: http://www.ronniescotts.co.uk/

Local listings often yield great gigs

Thanks. According to the calendar this place seems to be a world class Jazz venue. Thanks, I was unfamiliar with the Jazz scene there.

If I ever go I shall keep Ronnie Scott's in mind.

Dame Edna, whenever the ref wasn't looking she would use her razor sharp wit. Dame Edna is Australian btw.

Well, if ever I have friends coming up to London I'd take them to most of the obvious tourist hotspots, Buck House, Trafalgar Square, visit a few museums etc & then get drunk!
Here are some suggestions -

Go on the London Eye, hang out on the nearby South Bank where you can visit BFI Southbank, BFI Imax, National Theatre, Hayward Gallery.
Use the riverboat service to travel up the Thames, you can use the Tate to Tate service which goes from Tate Modern to Tate Britain, both worth a visit. You can also travel by river to the Tower of London.
Visit Richmond Park, the largest Royal Park in London & home to a few hundred deer. Richmond itself is nice, sit by the river in the sunshine & sink a few pints!
Take a themed guided tour, Jack The Ripper, Sherlock Holmes etc
Go to a proper east end cockney boozer!
Try some jellied eels or pie 'n' mash.
Have a nose around Spitalfields Market.
Go to a gig/concert/theatre/club.
Go greyhound racing at Wimbledon Stadium.
Wander round Highgate Cemetery, you can take guided tours or just make your own way around. You can see the tomb of Karl Marx, & other famous people, poets, writers etc.

Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
Do the English really like warm beer, or is it just because Lucas was the Prince of Darkness. :tongue:
