Maybe trans gender sentiment has made its way into the English rugby team.
I watched the game this morning (such a shame that England lost to South Africa) and noticed when the England team were enthusiastically singing the national anthem that even though the choir knew the right words, more than a few of the England players sang or mouthed 'Queen' instead of 'King'.
Maybe they, like us, need to get a new anthem.

Yes, it was a shame they lost.
God of nations, at thy feet, in the bonds of love we meet. Let's head for infinity, fuck the holy trinity.
Well, that's me off to Hell.

OK. Goodbye but rest knowing that you contributed.
The scan of "Let's head for infinity, fuck the holy trinity" is way better than the dirge-like "Hear our voices, we entreat, God defend our free land" tripe.
Well done that man. It has a bit of bounce to it which I guess is appropriate for national ball games.
And we think our national anthem's bad (or I do).
The Brit's one is crappy and doesn't even have the advantage of hiding some of the silly verses in Te Reo (which very few people understand).
Have a read of this shite:
God save our gracious King,
Long live our noble King,
God save the King!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the King!
Thy choicest gifts in store
On him be pleased to pour,
Long may he reign.
May he defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the King.
They'd be better off hopping it up a bit musically or, if they stick with the dirge than change the lyrics a bit:
Somebody save our current King,
He's a twat but we're stick with him,
Somebody save the King!
Keep him anonymous,
Happy and far from us,
Not Long more to reign over us,
Somebody save the King!
Our choicest gifts in store
We're no longer pleased to pour,
He's at the end of his reign.
Can he defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the King. (Well, no really).
Let's hope that Robert has a parable about this.
Maybe but we'll have to wait until the weekend. The Catholic Church doesn't do parables on weekdays apparently.
What confuses me though is that when I was a Christian I had to attend Mass on Sunday. Now, it seems, at least going by Robert's example, that Saturday is the 'go to' day.
I hope that Robert or one of his 'Holy Fathers' will clarify this for me.
A repeat of the Boer war. The British just couldn't quite beat them.
A good analogy.
