Is it thy will, thy image should keep open
My heavy eyelids to the weary night?
Dost thou desire my slumbers should be broken,
While shadows like to thee do mock my sight?
Is it thy spirit that thou send'st from thee
So far from home into my deeds to pry,
To find out shames and idle hours in me,
The scope and tenor of thy jealousy?
O, no! thy love, though much, is not so great:
It is my love that keeps mine eye awake:
Mine own true love that doth my rest defeat,
To play the watchman ever for thy sake:
For thee watch I, whilst thou dost wake elsewhere,
From me far off, with others all too near.

Bart: Election next month. Your Labour friends can start lying Michael.
Michael: Do you think they'll get in?
Bart: Not this time, Bonar Law's got it all tied up. Wouldn't be a bad thing if they did: taste of office might help them grow up .... Suppose they did get in? What could they do? Cure unemployment?
Michael: They might, Bart.
Bart: I doubt it, and what else? Would they abolish the cinema? teach English women to cook? make us grow our own food? will they hang all dabblers in poison gas? destroy all bombing aeroplanes and submarines?
Michael: They could try.
Bart: And what about the possesive principle that you disapprove of? Would they abolish that? No, not on your life m'boy. No! All party politics are top dressing. We're ruled by inventors and by human nature.
Michael: Oh-hoo you have got it bad guv'ner.
Bart: But seriously, do you find reality in politics now?
Michael: Oh-hoo, do you find reality in anything now?
Bart: Income Tax, perhaps.
Michael: Such simple faith, it touches me.
Bart: Everything fine and splendid is off: no big schemes; no great principles; no far-sighted views; no great religion; no great art. Just a lot of little men in little hats.

Invented by George Orwell in his masterpiece '1984'; Room 101 originally contained the thing that we most fear. Having been re-invented by the BBC, it can now also be the place to which we metaphorically banish those things we hate. Here are the 5 things I would banish, what would you?
Spiders: Scuttling servants of Satan. To anyone who says they're necessary, I say 'get a gecko': Same job, less legs.
Animal Thieves: Anyone who believes a living creature is a commodity that can be stolen and traded is beneath contempt.
Maliciousness: Bambi's mother had the right idea, if you can't think of anything nice to say, don't say anything.
The Beatles: Or rather what they represent: the decline of a society of responsibility into the cult of the teenager and with it the loss of decorum, education, kindness and safety. But more importantly ballroom dancing and flirting ;)
The antithesis of Room 101 and invented by Stephen Fry on the BBC Television programme 'Room 101' as an antidote to the negativity of the traditional Room 101. This is where all things of loveliness are placed for eternity.
Cats: The sound of purring is one of the most mesmerizing sounds in existance.
TV: One of the greatest inventions. TV is an art form and an educational tool that deserves a lot more credit than it currently receives. Power to the couch potato!
