Oi

I recall it clearly: it was last Pesach at Eldan and Melinda's place when he explained to me that someone (Richard Curtis, to be precise) had simplified Hamlet and put it into modern English, by which I mean modern UK slang, you wanker.

I made a note of it and forgot all about it for awhile. Doing my (ir)regular review of outstanding work items on my To Do list today, I finally Googled "skinhead hamlet" and found it.

The Skinhead Hamlet:

FORTINBRAS: What the fuck's going on here?
HORATIO: A fucking mess, that's for sure.
FORTINBRAS: No kidding. I see Hamlet's fucked.
HORATIO: Yer.
FORTINBRAS: Fucking shame: fucking good bloke.
