Nigeria???

What exactly is the connection to this forum with this kind of mindless dribble???

A dweller of the far, wild Penantipodes, a lover of Billy the Bard, truly, sirrah, thou art a Romeo....

O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows
As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.
The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand
And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight!
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.

But though the Bard quoted thus, and though I have quoted the witches, what goes on is surely directly from Othello, and many of the descendants of Iago players in the present drama. One hopes that the imminent arrival of the Scandinavian players, stage left, the descendants of Hamlet, will not lead to a re-enactment of the immortal bard's tale of Elsinore, with the Blue Lodge Guesthouse substituting for Kronborg Castle. Though I fear that if the early Sunday ministrations of the church, its nearest neighbour continue, it may lead to further re-enactments of Hamlet's speech:

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite
jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath bore me on his back a
thousand times, and now how abhorr'd in my imagination it is!
My gorge rises at it.
