FRANCE 32 - 21 SCOTLAND...

Sadly, Scotland's motto in their Six Nations match against France was
"if at first you don't succeed,
TRY,
TRY, and
TRY again".
Which only adds up to 21 points, of course. Not enough to win the match,
but no one can deny they played very, very well...

With regard to yesterday's 'censoring', how soon before Britain
loses it's 'quirky sense of humour' reputation and itself becomes
