Enjoy. I'm in the mood for a comedy like Taming the Shrew.

Whilst it's not Shakespeare so such, it's inspired by him...

One of my favourite films is Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.

Get thee to a Nunnery - in recognition of the fact that 45 nuns were consecrated last year - up from seven in 2004 and a 25-year high.

He also gave us much of our modern vocabulary.

I've studied the bard in the past and I still don't have a scooby!

Have a nice modern copy of his complete works and also a version from over 100 years ago that I had restored.

As for St George, wasn't he Greek?

Palestinian I thought, though the story is a christianisation of the story of Perseus and Andromeda.

I also was led to believe English trading ships adopted the flag of Genoa in order to secure protection in the med before we had our own navy.

Still, do we have a rose avatar, or will I get away with a red poppy?

Happy St. George's Day everyone, let's reclaim it for us all!

Cos he's really a foreigner who would struggle to get the right to remain now? Cos the stiff upper lip makes it difficult to enjoy the day?

Saw that performed in Oxford years ago, really enjoyed it.

I think As You Like It is one of my favourites. Stratford upon Avon doesn't take too long to get to, still a lovely place to visit.

Going to be pedantic now and say it's not strictly Shakespeare's birthday. This is the date he was baptised - usually done around 3days after birth. Births weren't registered then as they are now. He did die on this date though.

It's a special one this year with everything Shakespeare everywhere.

How about a status shuffle of Shakespearean quotes?

Happy St. George's Day 2016 too.

Edinburgh.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer's lease hath all too short a date:

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;

Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st;

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Now here's a question:

How many common English phrases or even clichés can you think of that were written by Shakespeare?

* Making the beast with two backs

* All's well that ends well

* Pound of flesh
