I was at Johnny Rockets, Lagos some years ago.

The burgers were good, rather expensive but worth the price.

Things can be arranged. If you've been under observation for a while and people associate you with a particular habit, it's not that hard to put ducks in a row.

Eg all these "some certain state is known for anger" threads and discussions that keep popping up, they are going somewhere with it.

It had to do with religion which is a sensitive topic.

seventeen is his secret code or spiritual key to his success.

it is a very strong number - a symbolic number for courage, strength, love, determination and power.

I'm a big fan of damask.

It conveys so much elegance and style.

Even if it doesnt, I just like it sha. Naturally starched, very cool.

It's like a formal version of silk, very nice texture.

Most people have both traditional and white wedding because it's a reflection of modern times. If you include traditional engagement, that's three wedding ceremonies for one couple.

We really cant wish away our history, it's good to uphold tradition, but white wedding has also been our tradition for more than a century.

In any case, barring expenses, people should do what is convenient for them or whichever type of wedding they prefer.

Moderator, kindly remove that insultive comment. I reported it but it needs to be deleted completely.

It's unfortunate people have to learn manners they lack, on the internet. The vulgarity, foul mouthed uncouthness is just something else, I cant figure out why folks here seem so proud of it. They dont know how to converse (it's a lost art), but they aren't aware of this.

That's very bad.

Here's a noteworthy one:

Sonnet 29 When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

Sequence & themes of Shakespeare's Sonnets

Shakespeare's sonnets are stories about a handsome boy, or rival poet, and the mysterious and aloof . . .
lady they both love. The sonnets fall into three clear groupings: Sonnets 1 to 126 are addressed to, or concern, a young man; Sonnets 127-152 are addressed to, or concern, a . . . lady . . . and Sonnets 153-154 are fairly free adaptations of two classical Greek poems. The text of these famous Shakespeare sonnets can be accessed by clicking one of the sonnets links below. The most popular of the Shakespeare Sonnets are Sonnets 018, 029, 116, 126 and 130.

Sonnets 1 through 17 are known as procreation sonnets, encouraging a young man to marry and reproduce (info from wiki).

maggilove:
The sonnets are included with his other poems : 'The Rape of Lucree', 'Venus and Adonis '.

Thanks for your contribution. However, let's not politicize the thread, Shakespeare is from centuries ago and the issues people faced then were not exactly the same as the issues faced now (eg metoo movements).

We can discuss his work on it's own merit without colouring it with personal politicking (unless you add the background to the story).

Just a guideline.

The sonnets were written or published the year of a plague epidemic as well.

I think the rape of lucrece was one of the required readings in school (not sure though. It was either that or a Greek classic).
