Morris dancing.

One of my favorite moments of "I'm sorry I'll Read That Again'

Sheriff of Nottingham "Is that morris dancing over there?"
Courtier "Yes Sire it is"
Sheriff of Nottingham " Ah I've always been a little worried about Maurice"

More morris dancing

Morris Dancing.

Brits being confident with their sexuality and not worrying about Twitter or facebook.

Usually takes place at or very near a pub! (Americans will be shocked to discover that in Britain they have pubs with grass, even gardens)

History more than 200 years old.

Hankie can be used as a sun shield

Morris dancing takes some balls to do - it's a real mans dance.

It is named after the favourite vehicle driven by morris men, who believe a MOrris Marina is a classic.

Riverdance is a fraud. They never dance on a river.

Morris dancing - performed by English men for fun.

River dancing - performed by Patricks to dodge the draft.

Both gay.
Dancing in fact is gay.
Chicks can do it I suppose...

**somtamslap** · 28-05-2013, 01:53 PM

Maypole dancing not an option?

Sacrilege!

**DrAndy** · 28-05-2013, 01:57 PM

all that dancing about, enough to give anyone a thirst

**Thormaturge** · 28-05-2013, 02:18 PM

How about river dancing Morris men?

Suddenly I have this urge to return to the UK or a Sunday afternoon of Guinness, a bag of pork scratchings, a brass band, some Morris dancing and a game of skittles.

**patsycat** · 28-05-2013, 02:23 PM

Can i vote again for irish dancing? I seem to be out voted.... Me and someone else who remains anonymous.

**patsycat** · 28-05-2013, 02:26 PM

I just love irish dancing, and scottish dancing and disco dancing and body popping dancing.

Even a wee salsa gets me going.

I wish i could dance.

That looks pretty fucking gay to me.

**palexxxx** · 28-05-2013, 05:11 PM

Neither, they're both gay.

**Smug Farang Bore** · 28-05-2013, 06:03 PM

Needle in the eye or a poker up the arse?

Morris dancing is derived from 'moorish dance' and dates from 15th century Spain. It was, allegedly, first danced in England in 1494 before the court of King Henry VII. The sticks, used by some teams, represent the short swords, used by the moors in battle. The use of the handkerchief is said to mean that the person is unarmed. Morris dancing was in widespread use untill the Civil War, where it was used in ploughing ceremonies and celebrations of life. Modern morris dancing seems to be more about finding a pub that sells real ale and having a good time. For that reason alone, it gets my vote!

**Bower** · 28-05-2013, 06:16 PM

Its true, Morris dancing involves drinking lots of ale, it must be ok

**r1 pet** · 28-05-2013, 07:28 PM

my vote went for the irish, how a girl can get her legs up so high yet not show her knickers is a mystery to me,
i can see how, with the aid of a few pints of scrumpy, morris dancing would get you clapping along, but sober i would be verry uneasy in ther company,
