Bongo Fury

hi,
this may seem like an odd one,but are there any morris men/morris dancers going to the bash?since i watched some when i was a small boy i`ve always been strangely drawn to them!
i have no sense of rhythm,and can`t actually dance to save me life,but morris dancing..........now,i fancy having a go at that!
perhaps a few of us could get together at the bash and do something?
mrs hogggman suggests a few names:
me
lionel(dolly1)
bob
nevets
andy(bulwell bongoleers)
ray(triple r)
jimmy
harry
and anyone else who would like to join in
(mrs hogggman is actually rolling around the floor laughing!)
i may regret this,but what does anyone think?

Why did the Good Lord invent Line Dancing?

So Morris Men have something to take the p**** out of.

Had a go once as a good friend of mine is with a Morris Side, always enjoy watching it.

what always worries me is the sticks that they try to hit each other with - can we use a wiper arm??? it's a little smaller and will do less damage to fingers / heads etc.

I did a spot of Morris dancing in my youth, but I kept sliding off the bonnet....

The "old" one's are the best Ian??????????????????????????????????????????????????????/

More like falling off (whats with this sliding off lark)

Careful - line dancers on here too!

i,m sorry in advance - each to their own but i have a hate- hate relationship with morriss dancing.

- even so i wouldnt mind watching you lot - windscreen wipers - oily rags -jangly tent pegs instead of bells-
now then what about the pigs bladder -does anyone have a pig - or perhaps a latex infltable item that comes from france in the post. oh yes i can see a new tradition starting here.
how about river dance put a bongo tyre over your shoulders to keep your arms down by your sides - the kids could have space saver ones and if you fall over you just bounce back up.

ok i,m going now - theyre coming to take me away ha ha hee.

I'm an accomplished Morris dancer,I'll be more than happy to do a bit of a prance for anybody!

Sorry Jamie , A bit too strenuous for us oldies, but we look forward to watching you and BDC performing the Morris Dance.

Been to loads of do's where Morris dancing took place........being an old folkie.......its very hard to learn and do and very energetic ! Well done BDC...didn't know you had those skills as well
If your going down the road of morris dancing .........why not have a ceildhe ?? Any good on traditional Irish music Mike ...make a change to have a solo guitar to 'strip the willow ' to

I can waltz & break dance too! But not at the same time... Are you two esteemed ladies off to stourport also? If so' i'll chuck in a free serenade as well as impressing you with my flowered stick.

Still not sure that we can make it. definitely can't be there Friday/Sat , but I would be so disappointed to miss your flowered stick BDC.

Well Jamie......it made us laugh.....you and other Morris Dancing.....

So ... are you doing a turn at the Bash?.....
