Naomi, Naomi...wherefore Art Thou Naomi ?

[mikey4444]

Where is Naomi these days ? I miss our little tussles !

[vetuste_ennemi]

I believe she recently converted to Rome and has now taken the veil, Mikey.

[mikey4444]

Now that is something I would pay good money to see vetuste_ennemi !

[wolf63]

She has been around

You've got that partially right, Vestute. Some time ago I gave her a letter of introduction to the Mother Superior of a convent near Dublin which still hand washes sacerdotal linen.
I think she's gone to spend a holiday there and will be lending a hand over the steaming tubs.

[nescio]

on a pedantic note, Mikey, "wherefore" does not mean "where", but "why"

[sandyRoe]

Wherefore are thou, Romeo? Does that actually mean, 'Why are thou, Romeo'? Existential angst at its deepest, that.

[wolf63]

Sandy - I thought that the last words in your post were 'steaming turds'.

[sandyRoe]

God knows what might be in that priestly linen after they've staggered in after a night on the Guinness. ☺

nescio.... I took the quote from here, so I presumed it was right :::

http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes/o-romeo-romeo-wherefore-art-thou-romeo

It was correct at the time I did the play for my O levels, although that wasn't long after Shakespeare wrong the ruddy play !

[nescio]

in Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is standing directly below her Juliet's balcony. She is asking "why are you Romeo?" i.e.why did you have to be Romeo, a Montague, her family's sworn enemies.

[mikey4444]

I know nescio ! I was just using the quote in its normally accepted sense.

Anyway...where the ruddy hell is Naomi !

[Svejk]

Naomi was on the 'dull' thread last night.

nexcio - //in Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is standing directly below her Juliet's balcony. She is asking "why are you Romeo?" i.e.why did you have to be Romeo, a Montague, her family's sworn enemies. //

Absolutely - it is one of the always-trotted-out misunderstandings.

Another one is 'Alas poor Yorrick! I knew him well!', but the quote is actually ' ... I knew him Horatio ...'.

It's great being a pedant isn't it!!

[mikey4444]

Its certainly fun Andy !

[naomi24]

...seek, and ye shall find ....

[mikey4444]

Ah........there you are my little snapdragon !

I thought you had left us for good !

[Prudie]

Is there currently a competition to see how many posters can mention dragons?

[naomi24]
