Sir James: I am he who is called Bond, James Bond. Three passions do we share.
Countess Onatopp: Truly do you enjoy, pigeon racing, real ale and Dominoes too Sir James.
Sir James: My lady, one rises to meet such challenge, like a serpent unto the breast of Eve. Yet may it please thee to answer most fully: is thine accent St Georgian?
Countess Onatopp: Dost thou know it?
Sir James: Verily, in my salad days I did but drop in, yet cannon out.
Countess Onatopp: Tis a land of opportunity. I travel with the ambassador, he hath held many balls here.
Sir James: Aye, I hath read the writing on the privy walls. Yet, thine ambassador has the wrong licence on
his hearse.
Countess Onatopp: His hearse?
Sir James: My kingdom for his hearse.
Countess Onatopp: Farewell Sir James, methinks thou'st a knave in chariot licensing.
Sir James: the pleasure on this twelfth night, was all mine. Farewell and good luck with
Thy Ambassador's Balls.
Number24, not being Norwegian, I sometimes find your sense of humour, rather difficult to
Follow That's the beauty of a " show your workings" thread. We can just talk over each other.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
You are in great company. Have you read The Road or Blood Meridian by Cormack McCarthy?
But I question if they are famous because of their punctuation or lack thereof.
What did Joyce say about punctuation?
He basically didn't think it was Important, especially during the flow of an idea etc.
As Barbel is basically the writer/publisher, I depend on him, not only to put things in
"Ye olde English" but to make it ( via improvements ) much better
As for my reading material, if it doesn't have a few fist fights, explosions, and a car chase. I don't
Read it.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Yes oldest English can be difficult. I've heard English-speakers strongly with the line "Wherefore art thou Romeo? " thinking Julie had bad eyesight. We don't have that problem since "why" in Norwegian is "hvorfor".
I read slowly, but a lot. Usually history or current affairs, but also novels. The Road and Blood Meridian are eventful and violent, you should check them out. You're feel great when the author wins the Nobel prize for litterature. God natt.
If anything I'm the editor of these, we're all the writers. Am happy to re-format everyone's ideas, trying to keep it consistent.
Writing in Ye Olde English ist exceeding difficult for modern speakers, I'm just trying to give the impression of doing so without it being 100% accurate- and for a good joke, throw it out the window!
I was responding to the various posts above. You asked which Bond film we Shakespearianised first- I answered TLD. TP added to a scene involving Onatopp, I suggested adding a joke about her name. 2 different subjects.
Yes sorry I forgot ;% perhaps under a both near and far sighted, bi sexual, moody Tsar. So he was ...
Bifocal, Bisexual and Bipolar.
Also at the Card table as Bond wins she could say " Cool Hand Bond" ( for a little Cameo ) ?
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Irna Act 2, scene 1: Bond could step off the carriage, pull a lever and his seat pops off. Under it is a small barrel of wine. One could also have a few lines about drinking and driving.
"Is it really neccesery to drink and drive?"
"More often than you'd think, Maiden. "
My thinking about the leprosy people, was I didn't think cycling would have been big in ye olde days.
While I have seen in movies groups of pilgrims, plague victims etc walking along in a line. Admittedly
My knowledge comes from films, while the old timers like Barbel write from memory
I think it could be changed to a line of pilgrims falling over, but still ending with Bond getting some
Green foot wear in his face ?
Although this is the place to try out ideas, so obviously not everthing will work and of course can be
Amended or replaced. {[]
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Dame Miles tells Bond just what she thinks of him (womanizer, a cold killer etc.)
Bond sees all of this as positives, so he is very pleased and thanks her.
I was also thinking of Bond's comment in the movie about where sir Miles used to hide his whisky.
Perhaps we should write a version where Bond says something like: "Lord Miles used to keep his spirits and a drop of laudanium in the....."
(Dame Miles finds some more feminine drink)
Dame Miles: "I found the bottles, but it seems Lord Miles drank it all last time you went rouge and slayed your way through the Land of Istimus."

Quite a few talented ( and extremely handsome, in my case ) people ignore the rules.
My great talent cannot be pigeonholed.
But I question if they are famous because of their punctuation or lack thereof.

The Ian Fleming Steel award. ......... Much better than all that Nobel
Stuff.
No apology req'd re talking over each other.
The first one was TLD (it all started here: http://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/45192/timothy-dalton-best-actor-to-play-bond/page/3/)
Act 2, Scene 2. A joke about Onatopp's name?

Barbel: Are you sure Onatopp is in TLD? :v
" Reverse- Cowgirl- ski"
Or perhaps she could say her name is Russian for Reversere Cowgirl?

Did I miss anything?
"Is it really neccesery to drink and drive?"
"More often than you'd think, Maiden. "
Do we want more scenes at this point before moving to London for the scene below?

Or do we move on to meeting Wade?
Or perhaps TP would like to add/change things in Act 2, Scene 2?
