I’d certainly say that the older I get the more I’d like to give Hamlet a slap or two. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />

He’s a very self-absorbed young man, and something of a model for every angst ridden teenager and self-destructive rock star since.

And as I get older I get more sympathetic with old Polonius (in fact I sometimes use ‘Polonius’ as my nickname on some forums). He’s the classic well meaning waffling old fellow. Handing out stuffy advice to his daughter that causes a heap of trouble, and rabbiting on to his son with well intentioned instructions that would be met with a roll of the eyes today. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

And when Hamlet accidentally kills Polonius he spends about 5 seconds dismissing the corpse and then goes straight back to his favourite subject – HIMSELF, HIS feelings, HIS anger, etc etc.

(BTW, As I appear to have failed with flattery - what's your position on bribery.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />. Seriously though, as Janggut said a few posts ago - the rules aren't strict on this thread it's more of a "free for all". The topic setter is free to pick a winner on any basis they like - because a post made them laugh, or cry. Because it struck a chord, or because they just liked something that was said. No big deal rules or fancy justification required! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )
