Sir Charles Kabaddi-Aussierules was the first man in Britain to eat a piano. His feat was so highly regarded that Queen Victoria herself invited him to the palace, with the intention of persuading him to dine on a harpsichord. Suffice to say, it didn’t end well, but not for the reasons that you might think.
Some aliens or something and came and like kidnapped the Queen and like Sir Charles had a fight with their leader and went, all like, Will Smith on their asses and shit. Probably. I don’t really know, do I? It was like 300 years ago or something. But it was bound to be something like that, wasn’t it? It’s well known that alien spacecraft were rife in Victorian London and it’s pretty likely that they would have gone straight for the head honcho.
Anyway, Sir Charles died at some point and is now sadly forgotten.
oh my god, someone else that aknowledges the phenomenon of kabaddi. I was beginning to think I was alone.
Well, I wasn’t intending to invoke the memory of Kabaddi the sport, it just happens to be Sir Charles’ name. However, I do coincidentally know of Kabaddi the sport.
It formed the basis of the classic Channel 4 Saturday morning line up – Kabaddi followed by Aussie Rules football (another coincidence). How I wish that those days would return.
