The_Bard on Squidoo

"All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts.."

I play mine between London, England and San Pablo City, Laguna, Philippines. Yes, that's me sporting my favourite Panama (coconut harvest) - and I duly doff it to you. Why not visit me at Hubpages, Bardiness and Helium?
