missdutch Same here. I'd say 6, 7 and 8 would be the ones I can definitely make some very good use of.

It took me 48 hours... but I finally get it. D'uh, talk about Banbury cheese, ffs.
P.L.F. Persio Apr 25, 2016:
@Barbara: Ta very much indeed! I just happen to know the hugest scullion, rampallion, fustilarian ever. Erm, make it 2 or 3 of them...

Shakespeare Live! I watched the show on Saturday night, as I have BBC 1 & 2 in my TV subscription. I enjoyed it, there was also my beloved Benedict Cumberbatch<3. Would love to see Tennant and Tate in Much Ado..., I heard it was great.
Barbara Carrara Apr 25, 2016:
Beeb 'iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UK only'.
Pity.
But, the 2011 (Digital Theatre) production of Much Ado About Nothing with Tennant and Tate is available on YouTube.

Lara the Bard (William Shakespeare) died 400 years ago yesterday, when I posted this to mark the occasion. Read down to MissDutch's, Barbara's and my discussion entries and that will explain.
Lara Barnett Apr 24, 2016:
Bard I do not understand "up cf ps mpu up cf" referring to folios etc? Or is it an abbreviation/code?
Also is this a Pro question with the answer being "bard", the most obvious choice? How is that pro?
James (Jim) Davis (asker) Apr 24, 2016:
The phillistines are many alas! We few, we happy few, we band of brothers (and sisters);
For he to-day that celebrates the bard with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition

HAL: Apparently, it was in order to hide the brand IBM in plain sight (H-A-L are the letters preceding those in I-B-M). Unless you're trying to further puzzle us, which you're doing very well:-O

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day ? I wouldn't do that try this: "... the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
James (Jim) Davis (asker) Apr 23, 2016:
I'm a computer nerd In Ulysses James Joyce proves by algebra that Hamlet’s grandson is Shakespeare’s grandfather. In the film Space odyssey the computer was named HAL. Why?
P.L.F. Persio Apr 23, 2016:
Hail the Bard! Jim, though named after a Shakespeare heroine, I just can't make sense of it; could you please explain up cf ps mpu up cf to me? I shall compare thee to a summer's day;-)
James (Jim) Davis (asker) Apr 23, 2016:
@Barbara :-) The world is a stage
Barbara Carrara Apr 23, 2016:
I hear you Thank you, Jim (and Will)!

Thanks, Jim, but shouldn't this have been a not-for-point question, because of its nature? I wouldn't want to deprive the point-prone throng out there of their loot!
Note from asker:
I suppose you are right, but I never lose sleep over points.
