Thread Name: Nodding Morris Man
Subject: RE: Nodding Morris Man
It's alright folks, my words were all in jest. I like a good drink or few as much as the next morris man. So don't worry, I'm not part of the Sally Army or the Sons of Temperance railing against drunken morris men!
In fact I rather go along with Morris-ey when he said "When I was a dancer with Wyre Forest anyone who passed a sobriety test was sent home in disgrace..."

Only, in the case of Wrigley Head Morris men, the (very much tongue in cheek) test I suggested wouldn't be a sobriety test it would be an insobriety test to regularly check that all team members were drinking to the full and that there were no slackers!

But it's all good fun and we equally enjoy Andrew's antics here in The Slubbing Billys, who he also dances for.
I can remember quite a few occasions over the past few years when Andrew starts to nod off and we have to carefully prise his pint glass out of his hand just in case he lets it slip but we needn't worry because he has an innate sense of 'ownership' and would never spill a drop, even in sleep!
He's that tight!
But he is a real character and we love him to bits. He's a star!
God bless him.
