You can’t do it if you’ve been circumcised - you have to be a complete prick to do it
One of the Morris dancers speciality is " dwile flonking" you should be perfect!!! .
Baggie:
Most morris sides have a “fool”,whose job it is to raise donations from the watching crowd…this is done by clowning about,frightening young children,and hitting them on the head with an inflated sheep’s bladder attached by string to a stick

Amazing what they have for young ones these days.
Would make a great xmas gift, I am looking in the Argos catalogue but can’t see them, I am looking under bladders?

Folk group, morris dancing, “a man short” and ballroom dancing all in one post.

James the cat:
So you have to jog about with a bell on your head.
Tramp, you’re made for the job
I am hoping so, I think this must be why the folk club has suggested for me to join them. I hope it isn’t a big bell on my head as the one hanging in our pub irritates the hell out of me at last orders and can imagine it to be quite heavy.
UKtramp:
My friend told me not too worry about being embarrassed.
You should be fine on that score, not to mention used to it… I mean, you walked around in a Stobart’s uniform for a month.
Good point rob, I still have it so maybe utilise it tomorrow. My youngest son is in Amsterdam at the moment and he is flying over here to see this performance so no backing out now.

Mate…if you are going to do Morris dancing dressed in full Stobbie gear, even I’ll come to watch that!

I’m quite a fan of ballroom myself but Morris is not my speciality.
Could try this book for top tips.
Best of luck and looking forward to the video with extreme anticipation.
Harry Monk:
It is said that you should try everything once, except ■■■■■■ and morris dancing.
…The difference is, that people avoid one because they don’t have an attractive sister, and avoid the other, purely because they just can’t stand the idea of dancing wearing a silly outfit…
