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.

Having answered that I didn't know that "rise and shine and give God the glory, glory" one, I now find myself UNABLE TO STOP SINGING IT. Thanks for bringing back a VERY ANNOYING memory.

At my primary school we sang Blowing in the Wind (the Bob Dylan song) as a hymn. This is one of the funniest encapsulations of the generation gap between me (30) and my girlfriend (56) I know.

Children of the loooord.

With the actions, I hope?

Hee! Did you get to sing it with the appropriate Dylan nasal tone? We sang Yellow Submarine when I was in primary school.

We sang Beatles songs in high schools because we weren't allowed to sing hymns anymore.

I didn't have to sing in secondary school, and I'm quite bemused by those who did. We didn't really have proper assemblies though, just notices once a week, different year groups all had them on different days.

We didn't sing very often on the grounds that it was seldom a successful experiment. But it happened from time to time. And each year group had a weekly assembly with notices and moral stories and once, oddly, a visit by Richard Attenborough. I suppose he was just passing.

Ha, yes! We sang the Beatles and the Carpenters in primary school choir and my girlfriend cannot get over it. I thought "Yellow Submarine" was a kids song for a very long time.

So did we! "Yellow Submarine" and "Octopus's Garden".
