The wraith of Bod. Empty The wraith of Bod.

Post by Portnoy's Complaint Thu 04 Jul 2013, 10:23 am

On tablets of stone it was writ that Drico would ascend to his anointed seat in rugby's valhalla.

Now each new moon at midnight in each month with an r in it, at Lansdowne Road a troubled spectre will be seen condemned to plough a fruitless furrow forever more.

With sallow complexion and sunken, hollow, charcoal sockets* , a grizzly benighted and troubled, wrathful soul will curse the pillage of his birth-right.

*No that's not Ronan

I'd have gone for Marmite instead of Bovril. It's closer to Veggiemite, can match the Aussies at their own game! No use trying to out-beef them with Bovril. The Boks try that to no avail with their braaivleis...

This is what the professional era has done to it. Bovril was better in the amateur days.

Not really A Rolls Royce Silver Wraith drives forward quite easily although it does have a bench seat in the front which might be useful for said player thumbsup

You're thinking of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footrot_Flats


wikipedia wrote:
Footrot Flats was a comic strip written by New Zealand cartoonist Murray Ball. It ran from 1975 until 1994 in newspapers around the world, though the unpublished strips continued to be released in book form until 2000. Altogether there are 27 numbered books (collecting the newspaper strips, with additional material), a further 8 books collecting the Sunday newspaper strips, and 5 smaller 'pocket' books of original material, plus various related publications. There was also a stage musical, an animated feature film called Footrot Flats: the Dog's Tail Tale, and even a theme park in New Zealand. The strip reached its peak of popularity in the mid-1980s, with the books selling millions of copies in Australasia. At various times, Ball cited different reasons for quitting the strip, including the death of his own dog, and his displeasure with the direction of New Zealand politics.

The cartoon was based around the life of Wal Footrot's sheepdog, called "Dog", on their farm Footrot Flats, and the other characters, human and animal, that came into their lives. The Dog's thoughts are voiced in thought bubbles, though he is clearly "just a dog" rather than the heavily anthropomorphised creatures sometimes found in other comics or animation. The humour was based around the foibles of the characters, which many, particularly farmers themselves, found easy to recognise around them. There was much "humour in adversity", making fun of the daily struggle that permeates farming life. The depictions of the animals are quite realistic and detailed, with a dose of comic anthropomorphism superimposed without spoiling the farming realism.

...

"The Dog" The main character of the book, a Border Collie, thinks of himself as intelligent and tough, but is really quite soft and often cowardly. He has a real name, given to him by Aunt Dolly, but despises it and has never allowed anyone to reveal it. Aunt Dolly says it is a "such a refined, aristocratic name", which gives some clue as to why Dog despises it. Wal always calls him "Dog", gaining loyal devotion. The Dog is often put to use to guard things or get rid of rats or pigs, but Border Collies have an independent streak and the Dog's is a mile wide. However, also like others of his breed he is a competent sheepdog. He also has a couple of alter egos; "The Scarlet Manuka" who attempts to 'liberate' cricket balls from being hit by Wal and his team, "Mitey Iron Paw", and "the Grey Ghost of The Forest", that appear from time to time.

The sun rises, the sun sets. I was the hand that made the King west of the wall and so it is my right to be the BOD slayer. Jofre son of Jiffy is now of age to be schooled in the higher sword beside Jamian the war hammer and so be in readiness for when we fight for the throne of the world amidst the white walkers and black knights. BOD had to be slain. What is honour compared to winning at any cost? What is duty against the feel of a silver chalice in your arms . . . or a mention in the annals of Gwent? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, living on scraps of glory fashioned in sweat and bosh, how could the world see the flicker of Jofre’s cold blue flame beside such a blazing star? Yes I will be vilified for being the BODslayer for the rest of days, and his wraith will be an ever present shadow reminding me how I denied him fitting rest.
