‘A pox upon it!’

I just found out that ‘a pox on both your houses’ (uttered by a dying Mercutio in Shakespear’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’) is a ‘Play it again Sam’-esque misquote! He does not in fact say ‘pox’ but ‘plague’! Anyway, so I have had to think of another title for this (although it is still a Shakespearean one, thanks to Falstaff)! I have been away for several days as I have a very, very nasty bout of chicken pox. For a couple of days my face was literally covered - it felt like a mask tightly placed over it - and I felt very low and weak. I am much better today, but still covered in spots and scabs… My advice is: get it as a child, if you can! Being so ill - Alex is also now ill - has thrown out a lot of plans. Very annoying and unpleasant. Never mind. Almost as bad, no-brainer-no-personality Anthony has won BB. Awful, what a waste of weeks worth of viewing! |
