Yep - you wanna see the henchwomen?

[dafydd manton]

OK Mr Bastable, Boss, I bought da violin case - what you want I should do wid da violin?

[Maryd.]

Are you going to use the violin to hurt someone?

[dafydd manton]

Weren't violins made to be used in place of cricket bats (although only against spinners)?

[Pendragon]

You would waste a Stradivarius on such piffle?

[Genocide]

Dafydd isn't going to do any of the beating, right?

[dafydd manton]

How cvould you beat someone with a Stradivarius?

[Genocide]

Wouldn't it just be like smashing a guitar onto a stage but instead it's a violin onto a person?

[Maryd.]

Why would you want to hurt someone?

[tailor STATELY]

Were you the one who stole my steak?

[Indyben]

Who would be insane enough to mess with you and your steak?

[Heathcliff]

Would you like some?

[Indyben]

May I?

[Heathcliff]

Would you like a knife and fork or would you care to eat with your fingers like me?

[Indyben]

Do I care either way? :lol:

[Heathcliff]

Can we both bite an end and play tug of war?

[Indyben]

wouldn't that be a bit dangerous if one of us let go?

[Heathcliff]

Would you like to just start eating?

[Indyben]

can we?

[dafydd manton]

Oy!! Where's mine?

[Maryd.]

Why should you get any steak?

[Heathcliff]

Is he hungry?

[Maryd.]

Why, are you?

[dafydd manton]

Wouldn't it be an act of charity for a poor starving something-or-other?

[Maryd.]

Should we be charitable?

[dafydd manton]

Isn't shovelling food down my throat more important?

[Maryd.]

More important than what?

[dafydd manton]

Can you think of anything else?

[Maryd.]

Don't you think poor people should be served meals first?

[dafydd manton]

How do you know that I ain't poor? (Cough, wheeze, bends down to pick up crust.)

[Maryd.]

(Oh, poor dear)

Ok, what would you like for dinner?

[dafydd manton]

Should I mention the gammon, egg, pineapple, chips, peas and mushrooms, then the strawberries and ice-cream that I had earlier?

[Genocide]

Aren't you just lucky?

[Maryd.]

Would a poor person have all those yummy foods?

[dafydd manton]

Would a poor person have computer?

[Maryd.]

Could it be borrowed?

[Pendragon]

Who would be kind enough to loan or give away an obsolete computer to the poor?

[dafydd manton]

The Tooth Fairy?

[Maryd.]

Or St. Mary?

[dafydd manton]

Or some benevolent despot with more money then sense, and eternal guilt feelings?

[Maryd.]

Do you have anyone in mind?

[dafydd manton]

Do we know the same people?

[Maryd.]

Do you know anyone in Melbourn, Oz?

[dafydd manton]

I don't, but do you?

[Maryd.]

Well would you believe me, if I said I have cousins in England?

[dafydd manton]

Would you believe me if I said I had too? Where?

[Maryd.]

(The heart of London, but they are returning to australia in October for good)

Should I really know?

[MarkBastable]

In the event of anyone needing a break from this thread, might I suggest getting the popcorn in and taking ringside seats to enjoy this (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?p=928321#post928321)highly-entertaining, evidently endless, hopelessly romantic, wildly eccentric struggle between two most singular and star-cross'd intellects?

[JuniperWoolf]

:lol: Where do these people come from?

[Genocide]

Greece?

[dafydd manton]

Do you think they might be friends, Like Bach and Wossisface were?

[aliengirl]

[dafydd manton]

You mean you don't know?

[tailor STATELY]

LOL, Is that a joke ?

[LMK]

Are you implying that I can't?

[hack]

What's the deal? Anyway? Sorry, that was three questions wasn't it?

[Indyben]

Are we limited to only one question?

[Genocide]

Why shouldn't we be limited?

[Indyben]

Why should we be?

[adityasam]

Won't that be a problem?

[Genocide]

Is there something wrong with limitation?

[adityasam]

Can't you imagine?

[tailor STATELY]

Aren't you being a bit vague ?

[adityasam]

Do you mean i think vaguely?

[Maryd.]

Don't you care?

[adityasam]

So do you want me to answer?

[Maryd.]

[adityasam]

Maybe I won't?

[Maryd.]

Don't you know?

[adityasam]

Who says that?

[Maryd.]

[dafydd manton]

May I apologize for assuming you to be a guy ?

[Genocide]

[NikolaiI]

Does how matter as much as when?

[mrv]

Shouldn't how matter more than when?

[tailor STATELY]

Shouldn't who matter more than how or when ?

[Genocide]

Shouldn't "why" be most important?

[dafydd manton]

Isn't that the 25th letter of the alphabet?

[mrv]

Wouldn't that be only the 'y' of the "why"?

[dafydd manton]

Y?.....

[Aryaa]

why everything is so quiet here ?

[mrv]

Why do I hear a flute playing?

[adityasam]

Isn't that a trumpet?

Does that sound like a trumpet to you?

[adityasam]

Do you mean I am deaf?

[mrv]

Why would I ask a deaf person if it sounded like a trumpet?

[adityasam]

Am I far away from the "flute"?
(That sounded like a trumpet to me)

[mrv]

Wouldn't you know if you were near the "flute"?

[Aryaa]

Do you want me to play the flute again ? :angelsad2:

[mrv]

Is it you playing the flute that I hear again?

[Aryaa]

[dafydd manton]

Does that make me unfortunate?

[aliengirl]

Shouldn't I know famous actors?

[Indyben]

Can I really be classed as famous? Are you stalking me?

[adityasam]

Why would I stalk you?

[Indyben]

Well I don't know you but you know me somehow...isn't that one of the factors of stalking?

[Maryd.]

Are you calling me a stalker?

[adityasam]

Is he calling you, or me?

[Maryd.]

Weren't you listening?

[dafydd manton]

How am I supposed to listen with this flying helmet on?
