In reply to Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.., posted by NikkiT2 on December 8, 2003, at 9:55:34
I've just got to know..why do the Poms sing "Swing Low Sweet Chariot?"..like what has that got to do with England?
Guess it's better than God Save the Queen?(we used to have that one until they picked out a new one no one much knew)
The TV commentators were going up to the Brits before the match and asking them why they sang "Swing Low sweet Chariot"...and noone knew..one suggested it had something to do with Jerusalem?...huh?(and this from a Pommie)
Of course, it would have been better if we'd won..but what we did was a win in my books anyway. We couldn't have lost it better.
One of those once a lifetime games.
On my last visit to a psychiatrist, he wanted to test how "in touch" I was with the REAL world..so he asked me what was goin on in the world, that was important like.
I replied.. err the IRAQ war...no
err the war in the Solomons ....nope
err bushfires raging.....nope
think, think, think, aussie male ..ahh yes, sport, yes Rugby..so I said Rugby..and I got it right!... see no problem....can't be too depressedJan (from downunder)
