I shouldn't have said Patsy talks too much. You can't talk too much, so I'm glad to hear from her, and she's right, but you Paul, are putting the all in this.

Patsy Rodenburg sounds like someone who talks a little too much for someone who runs a music school. If she wants to act Shakespeare, she should sing him for us.

I just watched the extended matrix and saw some pretty good fighting, but no swords. When we play chess, we should also recite Shakespeare cause B would like that.sirbarretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17363339954053528997noreply@blogger.com
