    It's been brought to my attention that "40 Pound Float" is the same tune as "John Ryan's Polka". "John Ryan's Polka" has had a run in the social group, as an "Other Tune", but not as an "Official Tune". If you wish to vote for this tune, please do! It's OK for tunes to be both "other" and "official"....

    I never heard it called 40 Pound Float, but thats great. Its a really fun tune.
    A talent for trivializin' the momentous and complicatin' the obvious.

    The entire staff

    OK! It's now been brought to my attention that 40 Pound Float is NOT the same as John Ryan's Polka; instead, it is the same as 4 Pound Cheque, 42 Pound Float, & 45 Pound Cheque!
