Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work you go.

I trust all my republican chums are staying true to their principles and refusing to have today and tomorrow off work?

:-p

1. Surely it'd just be tomorrow we'd have to refuse? Today is just a regular (albeit moved) Bank Holiday.

2. To hear you tell it, as a trade unionist one of my key principles is to get paid for not doing any work. You can be damn sure I'm staying home!

I appreciate all your sterling efforts to prove my prejudices entirely correct.

One does one's best.

Technically the treacherous scum should only insist in working tomorrow. :-)

I'm working both by choice. Viva la (organised and reasonably timetabled) revolution!!

You're not saying only people who believe in a thing should take the holiday celebrating it? In that case, most of England would be working Christmas, surely?

I believe in Father Christmas.

Heh, most've us'll be fairly pleased when we can drag the last remnents of the religious stuff the catholics put in back out of our midwinter feasting so we can get on with having fun away from all the wrong-time-of-year-anyway fuss ;-)

I'm saying I reserve the right to pull the tail feathers of my friends in a cheery way.

As am I ;)

But what would John Milton do?

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Write a long poem, I'm guessing.

[zenicurean.livejournal.com]

Maybe he could set the entirety of Defensio Pro Populo Anglicano in verse.

I considered the virtues of Republicanism for a while, then realised that we'd end up with Tony Blair as President. Long live the Queen!

I work at a school, it's half term.

Oh, wait, monarchist, that's OK, apparently, as the distinction between monarchists and royalists is completely lost on far too many people.

I went to a Not the Cam weekender :-)
