I wonder if anyone has ...

... done a vid of the Master and the Doctor using Pass It On by The Coral as background music?

Okay, that was random. But I'm using it in the pub quiz tonight, and noticed that the lyrics just seemed to fit the Master. :)

Rugby-related musings

A couple more random thoughts, while watching Scotland try to not get utterly stuffed by the All Blacks ...

(1) Does the official who approved the team shirts in use really need a guide dog and white stick? We have the Scots in very dark blue shirts with large greyish-blue areas, and the 'All Blacks' in grey shirts with large black areas. In other words, they're next to impossible to distinguish from each other without careful inspection, and I pity the poor sod who's refereeing this (that's a statement you don't often hear), who has to make decisions about which team's players are where in rucks and mauls that are just a mass of dark and light patches.

(2) I sometimes wonder why teams don't organise a counter to the All Blacks opening attempts at psychological warfare ... er, the Haka ... using elements of their own culture. Wouldn't it have been nice to see the Scots reply to it with a good old Glaswegian "Oh aye?" *spit* "Well, fook ye too, Jimmy ..." *obscene gesture*

Also, it's confirmed that England will definitely face Australia in the quarter-final if they can get past the might of ... er, Tonga. Who have, admittedly, played out of their skins in this tournament. It says something about how far English rugby have fallen in the last four years, and the poor to abysmal performances thus far, that I'm not totally confident about even the group game, let alone the Aussies. Bleh.
