It was absolutely murderous. Is this a trauma? Oh my god. Are you having PTSD? I'm having PTSD. It'll be in my final slideshow. I feel like I understand trauma a bit better.

Ajattelen, ettĂ€ hĂ€n tekee abysmallisesti. Haluan, ettĂ€ hĂ€n on abysmallinen, koska hĂ€n on vielĂ€ puhuttu kirjoittajana. ÄlĂ€ ole yksi tai toinen haaste. JĂ€tĂ€ jotain meistĂ€. Toivon, ettĂ€ hĂ€n oli todennĂ€köisesti kÀÀntĂ€nyt hĂ€ntĂ€ vÀÀrin. HĂ€n tuntuu olevan saapunut. Onko hĂ€n?

What would your ransom be, Mike? I'm not planning to kidnap you, but I'm just curious of your economic value. Yeah, who's kidnapping me is key. Because I think I'd always prefer the idea of being exchanged. Oh, okay. It's the sort of bridge of spies thing. I think there's a lot more fun to be had. I'd rather be exchanged for some sort of deep cover. North Korean saboteur or something like that. Someone of high value that should never be let back into the wild. That's

1379. This one's not a famous one, so you don't need to sort of... So it's not going to be, I don't know, what would it be over? It's usually over money, right? I wonder if someone's made off with his old Poltoks.

Geoffrey Chaucer: the medieval father of English literature

ListejÀ? KyllÀ, anna meille kaikki kirjoja, ja jos voit aloittaa pohjalta, anna meille niitÀ. Okei, niin kirjoja, joita olemme keskustelleet, olisiko sinulla Pilgrimit, Barmaid, Barmaid 2, Horse Whisperer, ajattelen.

Ja sitten, oi, luulen, ettÀ siellÀ on jÀrjestÀjiÀ. Onko siellÀ jÀrjestÀjiÀ tai onko jotain niin kuin se? Minun isÀni kertoi minulle vuosia sitten, jota en voi muista. Se on hieman... Hieno kuva, joka rakastan. Se voi olla todellinen. SinÀ olet tehnyt melko hyvin siellÀ, luulen. Marjan, voitko antaa meille todellisen synopsin, mitÀ KantebrytÀlsÀ on?

You're Dead to Me
Geoffrey Chaucer: the medieval father of English literature

There saw he first the derky imagining, of felony and all the compassing, the cruel ear, reed as any gleed, the pickers and eek the pale dread, the smear with knife under the cloak, the shipney brinning with the black smoke.

You're Dead to Me
Geoffrey Chaucer: the medieval father of English literature

But Mike did brilliantly. I'm really impressed. You did really well, Mike. That was excellent. What would the comedian's tale be in the storytelling competition, Mike? The comedian's? Well, it would be of the worst gig. The heckler might send us. In the green room or whatever, that's when everyone shushes and everyone leans in, when there's a really nice gig that went really, really badly.

You're Dead to Me
Geoffrey Chaucer: the medieval father of English literature

So it's not the storming gigs, it's not the ones where you've absolutely killed... No one wants to hear that at all. No, that comic is being booted out of the car immediately. It's the real stinker. It's the one where the audience, yeah, people were following you out to do violence upon you. Running to the car park, locking the doors. Marian, why is The Canterbury Tales so important, both as a literary work and also in terms of our sense of the English language?

You're Dead to Me
Geoffrey Chaucer: the medieval father of English literature

Yeah, absolutely. It's so interesting. And that whole sense of perspective, of shifting, you know, how do you see things, really fundamental to Chaucer's poetry. He's pretty good, Geoffrey Chaucer, isn't he? He sounds good. I'm going to have to have a bit of a read, doesn't it? Yeah. I think, yeah, thank you. And I think you can read it in the authentic Middle English. Oh, no problem. Because you've got the accent. No problem, I've got that down. Yeah, at the masterclass, yeah. So what do you know now?

Geoffrey Chaucer: the medieval father of English literature

Filippa. Se oli Filippa de Rohe. Kysymys 5. MikÀ oli Chaucersin liikkuminen vahvasti John of Gauntille? Filippa's sister was John of Gaunt's squeeze, with whom he had four illegitimate, late illegitimate children. He was his benefactor, his go-to guy. He was the wizard's sleeve, pocket.

You're Dead to Me
Geoffrey Chaucer: the medieval father of English literature

It's taken from the idea of ten tales, told by ten tale tellers of us at ten tales. It's a bunch of guys, they're going on a pilgrimage to Canterbury. They don't want it to be boring, so they'll tell their tales and they'll have a competition to see who will win. Night goes first, followed by Miller.

Legends of King Arthur: from medieval literature to modern myth

I think it's the sort of thing you carry through your life if you've grown up in Britain. Oh, yeah, I know about that. But do I know about it? I don't know. That's partly why I'm so excited to be here. I think it's a huge subject. There's quite a lot you can know without knowing the details. Yeah, and is it just because I'm familiar with it? Is it just because of some sort of Osborne book as a kid?
