Play that funky music 'till you die

Oh, thank fuck for that - the weekend's nearly upon us!

It's pay day, and a three-day weekend, to boot - just what the doctor ordered after my first week back after a faboo fortnight's holiday...

Time to plan for that party - and to get ourselves in the party spirit, why don't we just don some ill-matching primary colours and flap around randomly on a stage to an all-time dance classic funk choon - just like the hapless [and thankfully soon-to-be-replaced - this was their last-ever routine on Top of the Pops] Ruby Flipper?

Thank Disco It's (Spring Bank Holiday) Friday!

Have a faboo weekend, dear reader!

  2. Ruby Flipper included some of the women from Legs and Co, didn't it? Whatever happened, or whatever they called themselves, the routines were all pretty similar! Bless.
    Anyhow, have a fab weekend! We have rain on the way, which will make a change.

    1. Ruby Flipper included two of the girls from Pans People - Cherry Gillespie and Sue Menhenick. When the Beeb pulled the plug on them, Sue remained a member of Legs & Co until 1981, when they too were cancelled in favour of a load of "backing dancers" called Zoo.

      There's rain forecast here, too - but only overnight and first thing in the morning(s). Monday looks very grey, though. I don't care - it's still a Bank Holiday weekend, and I'll be in the garden pottering at some stage, no doubt!

      Enjoy the mud... Jx

  3. I myself am up, had a lovely cup of coffee and now I'm going back to bed for a few more hours. Nothing like a 4-day weekend I say! Cheers

  5. "... flapping around..." Is the perfect description of whatever those people were up to
