May Day

May Day, May Day.

(wonder what it means these days)

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Help is on the way, what's your position ?

May Day - isn't it about singing The Internationale?

The people's flag is deepest pink,
It's not the colour that you think!
Though the Blairites stand and cheer,
Labour government? No fear!

Our Opposition target's clear,
We'll have no Corbynistas here!
But, just to show that we're sincere,
We'll sing The Red Flag once a year!

Above NOT to be taken too seriously!

Could someone help me? I appear to have got myself caught up in this maypole.

Bank Holiday tomorrow for us in the UK. So even more time to procrastinate rather than get on with my projects....

Assuming you've made the usual mistake (and haven't we all at one time or another) it would be - left foot back - duck - side step right - count 1 - 2 - right foot back - duck again and you should be free.

What is a Bank Holiday ?

(Come to think of it......What's a holiday ?......Oh yeah......I remember...December the 25th.)

Cheers - Phil

Unfortunately, I've run out of ducks.

May Day? No, you may not.

It's well known that all avian species have extreme difficulty surviving the atmosphere in Runcorn.

Or:

The working class can kiss my arse,
I've got the gaffer's job at last!

Hmmmm - I'd forgotten about the traditional dinner
Are there swans near to hand? A swan dive might (and I hasten to say - might ) work as a substitute.

[JeffNNN]

For the sake of pedantry the Internationale and The Red Flag are two different songs.

Also random fact, the tune to the Red Flag is not only Tannenbaum but the tune to the Maryland State Hymn/song.

Wasn't May Day a Bond girl?
