# Who the fuck sees Godot in French?!
I speak French and I'm a Beckett fan, but even I would be badly lost by Godot en Francais! Zut!

# weirdly, my housemate was just telling me last night
about reading an old university essay his girlfriend wrote on reading beckett in french.

# I wouldnt bother.
I've had an ex who worshipped Beckett, and an ex who was French. the combination of the two would make for an excellent threesome but a crappy essay.

# perhaps if you'd organised said threesome
for the purposes of writing an essay about it
best of both worlds?

# hey-zeus that would have been one hell of an idea
but the two ex's were a good (or rather bad) 6 months apart at least, and one was in other countries at the time when the other was in possible threesome-contriving-presence.

Oh, and the second would have NEVER been up for it, no matter had I explained the essay as some kind of labour of love to glorious Science/Linguistics/Sociology/Porn. She were a little stuck up like that I suppose...!

# when doing gcse drama we did a scene from waiting for godot
the stage direction that always got me giggling was
"hand to pubis"

fantastic.

never seen the whole thing just know they should touch their pubis during it other wise they are doing it wrong.

# You're copy was incomplete
The stage direction is:

'Hand to Pub is here very inappropriate. keeps hands from drinking venues throughout this scene'

I believe Alec Guinness had the same problem... well documented...
