Macbeth on telly.
As you may be aware those wonderful people at the BBC are putting on some "modern" adaptations of Shakespeare's plays. Last Monday's Much Ado About Nothing was really rather good. The action took place in a local news studio (Wessex tonight) with Billie Piper as the not at all pramfaced weather girl Hero. I feel that a recommendation is in order, Colonel.
Next Monday is the turn of Macbeth, however. I'm never one to judge a book by it's cover, but does this woman really look like the sort of person who drowns puppies in Irn Bru every morning? I shall be watching with interest.
Love and kisses,
LMB

Well now that you mention it, her face does look familiar. In fact, if you were to look up at her through the drawstring end of a hession sack, I'm sure I recognise her.
There are worse ways to shuffle off this mortal coil though; a sugar rush combined with auto-erotic asphyxiation... imagine your best orgasm ever, multiply it by a million and your still not even close!
The come down is a bitch though...
You're one to talk, as this classic Punch cartoon shows.
Seems rather nice? She's supposed to be playing me!
Woof!
Listen, sunshine. I don't have to read the play to know how Lady Macbeth behaves, I am Lady Macbeth. Apart from a brief fainting moment I am nothing but cold and cordial towards everyone. Including my husband. I am most certainly not the inverted armadillo you obviously think I am.
Jealous? Me? Nonsense!
Oh I say!
We royals are always attracted by complicated corsetry you know.
Crikey mate! I knew I took this job for a reason. Tell you what, I wouldn't mind laying their velvet for them...
If anyone wants my job they're quite welcome to it.
Ah... back to the usual innuendo then?
What does the Colonel have to say about Jane's new "lifestyle"? Is he still in this office or have we lost him to work/recommendations?
There's welcome to mine as well.
Don't know Lady McB. Why don't we both go up to the roof and look over the parapets to see if we can locate him...
Shut it Banqo! What a wus that so called Elisa Macbeth was. And how annoying was Duncan? He clearly deserved to die. I am most dissatisfied.
Hawking! If you're going to say something, say something original.
Hey Jane,
Perhaps I could help you with some light relief. As I am quite sure that you can tell from my televisual resumé, it could be well worth your while
Hey Froggie,
I've been busy filming the extra-schmaltzy ending for the US version of Pride and Prejudice. Apparently the Brits wouldn't stand for it!
Well, normally I have trouble if anything even faintly calorific enters my line of sight. However, since you're such a sweet frog I think I'll make an exception.
Thanks. Hmm, these look nice.
five... four... three... two...
What's going on now? I can't get into the packaging.
one...
KABOOM!
Hot diggety! Now I'll weigh bugger all for eternity. No need to make myself sick every five minutes.
Oh hang on. What about my career? I'm famous! I was famous. Oh no!
Curse you, frog. I will have my revenge.
