morris dancing ... a truce

[joggerjayne]

I'm prepared to call a truce today ...

Mr Francis Shergold has died, aged 89.

Mr Shergold was the Squire and President of the Bampton Traditional Morris Men, and his dedication to Morris Dancing did much to preserve the tradition.

Now, generally, a guy who told me that he was a Morris Dancer would achieve the same status as a guy who told me that (for example) he had sex with his sister.

But, just for the rest of today, following the sad death of Mr Shergold ... I will call a truce.

RIP Frank.

I've just joined.

[joggerjayne]

Me too.

I've got a 1 Day Membership.

It runs out in 50 mins time.

LOL

After that, Morris Dancers are fair game again.

[sn�gged]

I can get down to Brighton Sea Front in 45 from here lol...

I'll bring me sticks...

pish and tush, I am betting nobody has ever told you either of these things but you would secretly like to meet one. Real morris dancers can set a lady's heart aflutter. Okay, real incest committers I am not so sure about, but Byron wrote good poetry.

Cripes, snagged ...

I just clicked on that link.

It's like a Village Idiots' Convention.

Cop a load of the guy kneeling on the front row, nearest the camera ...

O H ... M Y ... G O D !!!!!

It's the Adams Family.

[sn�gged]

Careful... one of those 'village idiots' might be Frank.

RIP

jno, I had Lord Byron as one of the 3 people I'd most like to have to dinner

(recent thread on here, somewhere).

Snagged you sure are going to look the business bouncing around in white making your bells ring.

Still I suppose it beats dancing naked to McFly.

[joggerjayne]

Sorry, snagged ... I was forgetting the truce.

Is Bowls as bad - if not worse - than Morris Dancing?

[sara3]

your compassion didn't last very long!

[jno]

there you are then, but probably better not ask him about his sister over the truffled grouse. Ask him if he does morris dancing in the Cotswold style.

[gonzo00]

so,let me get this right...it's NOT ok to sh@g your sister????

[Barmaid]

Depends whether you live in Lincolnshire Gonzo.

[sara3]

can opened, worms all over the place!

[sn�gged]

gonzo... put it this way... only if you get caught...

[Barmaid]

I know Sara. I expect now to be hounded by a load of yellow bellies.

(Although I say it only in jest as I am Lincolnshire born and bred - but have never sha99ed a member of my family)

[joggerjayne]

snagged ... I don't have a problem with Bowls ...

... except for the abundance of beige, polyester clothing on Bowling greens.

You feel that you couldn't walk near those people without getting a series of electric shocks.

[gonzo00]

jeeeez..the world we live in today,eh? it's pc gone mad! next they'll put a ban on felling up your gran! :0)

[joggerjayne]

Compassion, sara ... ?

Don't think I haven't seen your "what the fcuk are those vegan w@nkers on about" thread !!!

LOL
