Throwing Backwards, Running Forwards

I despair of those who found it amusing that Princess Anne was singing Flower of Scotland, with its references to sending home "Proud Edward's Army".

She is descended both from him and from Robert the Bruce.

But was she also singing Advance Australia Fair? If not, why not?

More broadly, I feel the first stirrings of reverse colonisation.

25 years ago, posh and even middle-class people were militantly uninterested in football. But then they took it over, and now it is run for their convenience.

The people who currently run rugby will live to regret going mainstream.
