We've just been listening to the News Quiz - a weekly moment of sanity . It finished with the following quote from wiki on Augustus the Strong...
Augustus's great physical strength earned him the nicknames "the Strong," "the Saxon Hercules" and "Iron-Hand." He liked to show that he lived up to his name by breaking horseshoes with his bare hands and engaging in fox tossing with a single finger.[SUP]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus_II_the_Strong#cite_note-sitwell-1[/SUP]
OK, who's for a spot of fox tossing this afternoon then ???
