  1. I also choose Batman because of a BBC program in the series called Only Fools and Horses where in one episode the two main characters dress up as Batman and Robin.  Will never forget the scene where they run across an empty parking lot!

  2. "We was robbed in the first game against Dalimbar" growled the Mediobogdum Coach,  Ginger (Fingers) Malone.  "The ref would have been more effective if he had been waving a white stick rather than the whistle he had in his hand!  He and his team of touch judges missed numerous blatant knock-ons, ignored at least two high tackles, not to mention half a dozed forward passes.  I will be taking a careful look at the video replays of these incidents and may make a formal complaint against the match officials to the TWP World Rugby Cup Committee."

    As for our second game against Giovanniland, the match officials had it spot on and I would like to congratulate them on their professionalism, good humour, and deft handling of the whole game.  The sportsmanship showed by our opponents in their defeat was exemplary and we enjoyed post-match schooner races in the bar followed by rugby songs that included: Pull'em Down You Zulu Warrior!,  Mule Train!", and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.

    Mediobogdum is a massive, industrially efficient nation, is notable for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and rampant corporate plagiarism. This position has been founded on the nation's massive naval military and merchant naval fleets.  The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.  Mediobogdum has a large number of colonies which it has acquired over the past 2,000 years as the results of wars, peace treaties, and subjugation.  The nation's current factbook can be found here: https://www.nationstates.net/nation=mediobogdum/detail=factbook/id=434240
