Honour beckons

Flossie has been called up to the bench against Italy on Sunday. The thrill when one of your children eclipses your own achievements. I'm so proud I could phart the Marseillais in "C" sharp.

Was that thunder?

(If you ever wondered what the hell the Frogs sing that inspires them so much here's the video with English and French alongside each other. I've always enjoyed belting this out at rugby matches, which is weird when the Cornish Pirates are playing a local team.)
