As I write this I can almost hear the engravers adding it to the plaque outside The Marlowe theatre, not 10 miles from where I'm sitting.<BR/><BR/>Allied note - the church where Marlowe was baptised was destroyed during WWII leaving only the clock tower. It stands at the top of Canterbury High Street and is used as a meeting place and, at night, a toilet - yeuch! Anyway, a local business chap is proposing an ice-cream parlour with tables outside on the street. I wonder what Kit would make of that!Nogbadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04838817425838931554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13255928.post-1139232349115816232006-02-06T13:25:00.000+00:002006-02-06T13:25:00.000+00:00Beckham on Marlowe: " I fink that Faustus should'v...Beckham on Marlowe: " I fink that Faustus should've stayed wiv that Helen Troy - she was well fit, innit?"Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647405720597546140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13255928.post-1139231248490233912006-02-06T13:07:00.000+00:002006-02-06T13:07:00.000+00:00Oh dear, at what point in the recent past did some...Oh dear, at what point in the recent past did someone manage to convince the populace that having money meant that your views are worth hearing? It's much the same with footballers isn't it? Beckham is a multimillionaire and thus his views on childcare or diet or global warming or thermonuclear dynamics or the early works of Marlowe are of value.Nogbadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04838817425838931554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13255928.post-1139212775861674202006-02-06T07:59:00.000+00:002006-02-06T07:59:00.000+00:00I'm given to understand that "Lord" A's manuscript...I'm given to understand that "Lord" A's manuscripts are so full of errors that the editing process is much more complex than usual.<BR/>On the interview, it's in a series called "This Much I Know" and gives the subject's allegedly interesting life insights...Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647405720597546140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13255928.post-1139204128844611592006-02-06T05:35:00.000+00:002006-02-06T05:35:00.000+00:00Its certainly a very strange interview - more like...Its certainly a very strange interview - more like bullet points really.
