In most cases, it doesn't need examination. Anyone dissing Shakespeare is just obviously wrong, for example. In support of their assertion that Shakespeare is crap, all they can come up with is further evidence of their intellectual poverty.

Shake spear is crap Joe.

They should re-translate and move it on into the new age......aka

It's been done already, by Richard Curtis:

Going back to RA, my brother uses one of their mains blocks and has been happy with the results (even upgraded internal wiring). Waiting for the loan BMU to do a comparison! The upgrade cost about the same as the BMU.

ADMIN EDIT - you are banished from this room, how dare you have a normal conversation, this room is ONLY for gratuitous and silly arguments with as much ad hominem as poss. It is an anecdote for the rest of the forum. Want to have nonsensical rant, get it out of your system, then do it here.

I THINK YOUR BANG OUT OF ORDER MODS..........Bloody reinstate ant right now.

Well you can just feck off then Jammy - so there. The point of this room is to take absolutely no notice of any admin stupidity.

Well who the feck does this jammy bloke think he is, getting psiS*sedD (as he would write it) and enjoying himself and subjecting us to his Vogan Poetry - frigging Heeeland barbarian

Terry Pratchett's Shakespeare is funnier than Richard Curtis' attempt.

Wyrd Sisters

The night was as black as the inside of a cat. It was the kind of night, you could believe, on which the gods moved men as though they were pawns on the chessboard of fate. In the middle of the elemental storm a fire gleamed among the dripping furze bushes like the madness in a weasel’s eye. It illuminated three hunched figures. As the cauldron bubbled an eldritch voice shrieked:

‘When shall we three meet again?’

There was a pause.

Finally another voice said in far more ordinary tones: ‘Well I can do next Tuesday.’

I just have to say that I disagree. I don't know what I'm disagreeing with, but given a bit of time I'm sure that I'll find some spurious evidence to show that I'm right and you're all wrong.
