The Shakespeare Code

It is with great joy that the Agents announce that on 22nd August, 2012, The Shakespeare Code received its….

55,000th VIEW!!!

It also admitted to the Brotherhood and Sisterhood of The Code….

SIX NEW COUNTRIES!!!

(No coercion was put, or has ever been put , NOR SHALL EVER BE PUT, on nations, however small, to join. The Shakespeare Code prides itself on being a TOTALLY VOLUNTARY organisation, devoted to the advancement of Shakespearean studies and the rights of cats.)

The nations who have nailed The Code’s colours to the mast are:

THE BAILIWICK  (‘Ballywick’) OF GUERNSEY

MACAO

NAMIBIA

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

GHANA

PAPUA NEW GUINEA

This brings the number of participating to countries to……

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE!!!

The Code will NEVER have favourites, but it is delighted to report that Papua New Guinea has joined up….

It was here, on the island of Samarai, that Chief Agent Stewart Trotter spent the happiest years of his childhood…

(See: Biography. )

Here he is preparing to climb a coocnut tree……

Indeed, he has been stuck up one tree or another all his life…

Here is where he lived…..

The tanks outside were for collecting rain-water from the roof….

The water was then purified through filters and drunk….

Perhaps it’s not surprising that Stewart came down with gastric malaria….

And here he is preparing to dive into the island’s primitive swimming pool…..

So primitive that one day he dived in and came face to face with a giant turtle….

The locals had caught it and put it in the swimming pool to keep it fresh…..

Before they ate it….

Now over to Trixie the Cat……

First, Brothers and Sisters, we all hope you like the new lay-out for The Code – with subjects for perusal laid out on the Home Page…..

Simply click on a bar and you’ll be off….

Second, can Your Cat reply to the HUNDREDS of questions that have been ended up on her desk at Head Office?

We were told that The Agents of The Code were training for the Heptathlon at the London Olympics…..’

…..you cry….

But when it came to it, they were nowhere to be seen…..

Some irate Brothers and Sisters have questioned the probity of The Code’s Agents…..

Some have even suggested that they might not exist AT ALL!

Well, Trixie the Cat’s real enough, isn’t she?

Let HER explain what happened…..

The Agents WERE picked for ‘Team G.B.’……

But they decided to yield their places to younger British athletes…….

…… to give them a chance….

Believe me, our Agents are not the sort of men to boast…..

……. or burst into tears on the podia….

They are filled with a gentlemanly modesty which forces Your Cat to speak on their behalf.

They do, however, have half an eye to Brazil…..

‘Bye now,
