ANSWER ME!

Yes, of course I've done my presentation.
Some of it.
In my MIND.
Look, a pterodactyl is making off with Margaret Thatcher's wig! *runs*
(BBC news reported the break up of Mark Thatcher's marriage, and included this paragraph:

"Educated at Harrow, he left in 1971 with just three O-levels. He did not go to university, and failed his accountancy exams three times."

And then they begrudgingly admit that he's actually quite successful.

We only sang boring songs at my Presbyterian high school. The best was Fuck Yeah, It's Holidays, oops, I mean Lord Dismiss Us.

However, on road trips my family sang a special Horseshoe Bay song, words variable, to the tune of the national anthem. One version:

We are going to Horseshoe Bay
For our [....] holiday.
We are going very fast
And soon we will be there at last.

Sounds catchy! I don't actually know Lord Dismiss Us. Or, come to that, the tune of the national anthem. I am v. iggerant.

It goes something like:
Lord dismiss us with thy blessing.
Thanks for mercies past receive.
Pardon all their faults confessing;
Time that's lost may all retrieve.
May our something, may our something
never again thy spirit grieve.

V. boring, which shows the standard of the St Cuths hymn book.

The anthem doesn't have much of a tune. As long as it's iambic/trochaic and in a major key, that's enough.
