May Day

[jimduncanuk]

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

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Phil = get back down that mine.

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?

Grace Jones - 'View to a Kill'

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Knew it!

[FierceKitty]

Insofar as the Moore attempts can be called Bond movies at all.

Will set up the podium on the table in the morning for Army of Workers and Peasants to parade past whilst the Politburo take the salute!

What should it be? - A lay in bed and a slow start
what is it really? - Well it's already 6 AM, so 'Nuff said

What should it be? - A day of just doing what I want - erm I mean what the family wants
what is it really? - clearing out bedroom 2 and repairing the wall ready for the plasterer

What should it be? - a fun day out on a packed motorway, sitting in a 10 mile tail-back
what is it really? - A shoot to the local DIY, a quick Costa and back home for that bedroom project

My secret plan to rescue something of the day - while at the DIY store pick up some Ronseal wood filler and explore the tip that I read on the Kallistra web site yesterday that it makes a good basing material ....... And then start some rebasing ........ I think I'd rather do bedroom 2 !

Anyway, already looking forward to the next Bank Holiday (end of May). :-)
