The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

[dave.woodhall]

I think it's time for some appropriate culture.

"The Moving Finger writes: and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."

[pauliewalnuts]

Is that written in Yam?

[Chris Smith]

And these words shall then become
Like Oppression's thundered doom
Ringing through each heart and brain,
Heard again - again - again -

'Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number -
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you -
Ye are many - they are few.'

[Leighton]

Dave, can you read that in the style of Pam Ayres next time I see you. Thanks.

Or, to quote Alan Partridge quoting Kipling:

"If ... you do X, Y and Z, Bob's your uncle."

Uncultured oafs.

Damn right I’m uncultured. I’ve read all of your books.

Uncultured oafs.

Damn right I’m uncultured. I’ve read all of your books.

Get it right. You've had my books read to you. Slowly.

That's an idea: Dave Woodhall audiobooks.

I heard The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam was spotted by the same scout that discovered Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink.

[Hammer]

Omar Khayyam programme on BBC4 at 2.30am tomorrow. It's rather good. A bit of an arse to subtitle though, as I discovered.

I saw Dave on the telly today, whatever he's using definitely doesn't shave you closer than a razor blade.

Then again, he was probably put off the whole idea for life at the mention of the words "or your money back".
