"Off the Ground" - Paul McCartney, 1993

Just a quickie post today...

I've seen a very amusing story about Queen Elizabeth's childhood on the BBC's website.

Take a look at "Queen Learns of Childhood 'Scrum'", and you'll see why I picked McCartney's "Off the Ground" as the title of today's post!

But as amusing as the idea of the toddler Elizabeth being tossed into the air by an Australian rugby player is the following paragraph, found near the end of the article - having to do with the Australian rugby team members she has just met:

Before meeting her, the players were reminded not to shake her hand too vigorously and could be seen carefully practising suitably gentle handshakes among themselves.
