Have you seen that film the Wicker Man, Simon?   :o   The one featuring Britt Ekland's sit-upon, voluptuous naked maidens dancing over a fire, a beheading during a sword-dance and an X-rated maypole?  Surely Morris Dancing isn't about .....er...... thingy business, is it?   

As you know, the Olympic Organisers are considering featuring Morris Dancing at the Opening Ceremony.  Have you any recommendations about who they should book?  Are there any choreographers on a par with Michael Flatulence?   And which side does Britt Ekland dance with?

I think they should book Moulton, Adderbury, Outside Capering Crew and Morris Offspring.

Not seen Wicker Man,,,,,,have got it but not had time

Take my advice and don't watch it, dear chap.  It may give you ideas.  I've booked for a front row seat to see Los Albionos' Christmas Special and don't want any suprises.  :-X

And here are links to the sides that our guest recommends to the Olympic Committee:

Moulton Morris: http://www.moultonmorrismen.com/

Adderbury: http://www.kickback.btinternet.co.uk/Adderbury.Morris/Adderbury.html

Outside capering crew: http://www.capers.co.uk/crew/

Morris Offspring: http://www.alanbearmanmusic.co.uk/id36.htm

Have you got that Seb Coe?  Good.  :D

The Bavarians are already complaining about the limited amout of time being given to their thigh-slapping traditional dance at the World Cup opening ceremony. Would forty-five seconds be enough to appreciate the full glory of the Morris?  :o

Oh yes,,,,,,there are some teams i can't watch for ten seconds  :D
