"Crap Shakespeare" to be London's fashionable parlour game?

Now it is said that Shakespeare used sometimes to write his plays when drunk. The people who disseminate this idea are simply 'the usual suspects', like the Guardian newspaper, thelondonpaper ('too much weekend ale gave bard the Monday blues'), Dominic Dromgoole, Peter Hall, etc.

IMO: Apparently the game is to find out which lines are written when Shakespeare was drunk, but the whole thing sounds like something to occupy the time of those who should be doing something more useful, like those lazy people who should be should be educating kids or freeing the world from bullying and terror instead of sounding like a bit part in Gilbert and Sullivan,. The University of Canvey Island will clearly soon be upon us. This is where, in some classic BBC joke program., the University Vice-Chancellor allegedly says "I know which of you lot wrote on the lavatory wall, it was the one who can read". At proposed student fee rates, that wallwriter won't exist as all students will be out shovelling shit to pay for their Uni grants.
