There was a discussion of that jingle on French radio recently. It was being spoken about as a work of art, and I had to agree. It's brilliant.

Nobody wants to see Wales play in white. Not sure I can support them now, it's against my rules to support a team playing in white

Since the world cup I no longer have a "lucky" Wales rugby shirt. I do have a Springboks shirt though and imagine that if I wore that then Wales might have a chance of winning!

I hope the roof is open for the game, then! No chance of heavy snow?? That could be a sliver of hope for us.

Did i mention the Xeelee Series by Stephen Baxter? It spans a mind-bogglingly long period

Also, the Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons is very imaginative.
