I’m not sure I am privy to this apparent cross channel rivalry between the U.K. and Denmark that your words seem to suggest, but you’ve framed it in a very funny way. I’m going to burn every last Hans Christian Andersen book I own, and hammer into a hundred pieces my 900-year old jewel encrusted Bluetooth card that I was about to donate to the local sailor’s home museum. In their defense of their unwelcome slighting of your wonderful island paradise, I have also read that the U.K. does not enjoy the same broadband data transmission speeds as, for example, North America. But on the other hand, Canadians are just now learning how having only 2-3 mobile telephone service providers has given the opportunity to pay more than almost anyone else… so I”ll stop finger pointing and my typical so-much-better-then-Mark attitude.

Well written Mr, Tennent, you should really consider a career in writing. And, if i might offer up my own guide to style and tonality… crank up the sarcasm and controversy even more… there’s money in them thar’ words.

Hi Jacques

Slight problem on the Danish front. The title and quote are from Hamlet. I have nothing against those nice people from Denmark, just as long as my daughter marries an incredibly wealthy one who is generous to her parents.

Mark…
I recognize the quote as being from Shakespeare. Books and the ability to read are new to Canada, of course, so I am glad you pointed that out. I wanted to point out something myself… your last blog title was also derived from a line in another play by the bard from Avon. Is this a trend, or a coincidence?

Just curious…

Hi Jacques

Let me begin at the beginning. I suppose my words fly up, my thoughts remain below. What piece of work it was too even if nothing can come of nothing.

But what’s done is done. As for the title, what sin a name?

Is this a blog I have before me, its author before my hand, come let me read thee…

Now we’re just being silly.
