I have greatest respect for Rugby Union, they started it mid-way through the 19th century. Thankfully we grabbed it and turned it into a spectacle on 29th August 1895

I used to know the actual lyrics to that. Dont ask how because I've forgotten, and the lyrics too. I just know they'd feature in many a drunken sing song.

Weekend World was the beigest brownest 1970s/80s programme imaginable - the set was browny beige, and it featured two beige men talking while wearing browny beigy suits with brony beige shirts and ties.

But for some reason it had this slice of rock by Mountain as its theme tune...
