All Points North

Hopefully normal service will be resumed soon. In the meantime here’s something for those of you that watched ITV’s sports coverage in the late 1990s.

Lord, I’ve tried the best I can
I’ve asked everybody in Kazakhstan
but I still don’t understand
Bob Wilson – anchorman.

I’ve been to Kent, Gwent and Senegal
I’ve even been to look for Jim Rosenthal
Found him on his knees at the Wailing Wall, crying
Bob Wilson – anchorman.

Well I marvel at the things we find beneath the ground
And that man can go faster than the speed of sound
But I still can’t get my head around
Bob Wilson – anchorman.

I’m cold and I’m hungry and I’m in Dundalk
I’ve got no bus fare; I’ve got to walk
It’s raining soup and I’ve got a fork
Where be my camper van?

Well I’d like to meet Stephenson, the engineer
And I’d like to meet Faraday and buy him a beer
And I’d love to meet the bloke who had the bright idea of
Bob Wilson – anchorman.
