Can anyone help?
LOL :

Today, four the final time, Dad's Army, the long running TV humiliation of British war time civil militia, was shown on regional stations in Queensland. A small but loyal band of fans of the show were left teary-eyed and singing the blues. "We tried to save the show we did", sobbed tearful Frederick Tartlet, "but we only got thirty two signatories to our petition".
[/QUOTE]Let me try.

Queensland (nicknamed Dad's Army because they are a bunch of old men) suffered humiliation at the hands of the Blues when they were thrashed 32-4 in the first State of Origin match.

How's that?
