I think you should stop wallowing in words, slurp that cup of coffee, take those trotters off your desk and do some work for a change - on the other hand, it is Friday, thank God!

As we all know the plays attributed to Shakespeare were actually written by Sir Francis Bacon.

Francis Bacon...in the pub

Yes, that was lovely!

There is a superb search engine for the sonnets, which is hosted on a ‘Shakespeare was really Bacon’ site:

If anyone wants to investigate further, apart from the glory of the printing press there are many web resources and interesting sites. Here are just a few key starting points:

I know that's been speculated, but has it been totally proven?

Certainly not - a rasher comment was never made.
