Subject: Dead Horse Morris From: Jack Blandiver Date: 09 Nov 08 - 02:51 PM Dozing off the Sunday dinner in front of the Antiques Roadshow and spy a chap with a handsome t-shirt emblazoned with the legend Dead Horse Morris and a fine garlanded horse skull / hobby horse... Fine set of cigarette cards, but who are the Dead Horse Morris and where might we see them dance? |

Subject: RE: Dead Horse Morris From: Dead Horse Date: 09 Nov 08 - 07:13 PM Its where I got me monika mate. Was a member (still am I guess, if somewhat lapsed) and many fun times had. |
Subject: RE: Dead Horse Morris From: romany man Date: 10 Nov 08 - 04:02 AM you have to belive in treacle mines and the vicious ferrets of faversham to understand. |
Subject: RE: Dead Horse Morris From: bubblyrat Date: 10 Nov 08 - 04:05 AM They should all be flogged ! |
Subject: RE: Dead Horse Morris From: Anne Lister Date: 10 Nov 08 - 04:56 AM No they shouldn't, because it's no use .... |
Subject: RE: Dead Horse Morris From: romany man Date: 10 Nov 08 - 08:51 AM no use at all, i tried to flog one and the best price i was offered was 2/6p i even tried to smuggle one in with the scrap but the whole load got slung out, expired equines cant even pull me waggon but make good rugs, and i believe the french see dead horse as a delicacy. |
Subject: RE: Dead Horse Morris From: Andy Jackson Date: 10 Nov 08 - 11:00 AM Try dragging it round the pubs singing in Welsh, on New Years Eve, then you know the meaning of "Flogging..." etc. But it does get the money in!! |
Subject: RE: Dead Horse Morris From: Kampervan Date: 10 Nov 08 - 12:07 PM It might be no good flogging one but by God, if you give one a pint of bitter you'll get as good a song as ever came out of a horse's mouth. Been there, done it, listened to it, and even joined in! K/van |
Subject: RE: Dead Horse Morris From: romany man Date: 10 Nov 08 - 02:16 PM hmmm debateable upon who is singing, i have two fave songs from dead horse but the rest hhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm have to think about it, but they threw one hell of an ale last year. |
Subject: RE: Dead Horse Morris From: Kampervan Date: 10 Nov 08 - 03:56 PM Well it was at the end of a very long days drinking at a certain hop festival, but as I remember(?) it, the singing was not half bad. And it was certainly enthusiastic!! |
Subject: RE: Dead Horse Morris From: Richard Bridge Date: 10 Nov 08 - 07:06 PM Were you (RM) at the Ale? I forgot... |
Subject: RE: Dead Horse Morris From: Dead Horse Date: 11 Nov 08 - 04:11 AM It's like the 60s. If ya can remember it, you werent there huh? And the Antiques Roadshow is as good a place as any ta meet the Dead Horse Morris. Just noticed I am wearing their sweatshirt as I type. It is NOT a pretty picture. |
Subject: RE: Dead Horse Morris From: romany man Date: 11 Nov 08 - 04:18 AM rb yes i was there, i really enjoyed it, good singing and oh what a crazy night was the last night laugh, i nearly smiled, |
Subject: RE: Dead Horse Morris From: Cllr Date: 11 Nov 08 - 04:20 AM I remember years back (around '91) being a honorary member of Dead Horse Morris (as a drummer) for the Day at a festival and getting free drinks with them. What a great memory or at least it would be if i could remember it. Cllr |
Subject: RE: Dead Horse Morris From: Richard Bridge Date: 11 Nov 08 - 05:29 PM Not to drag politics in Cllr, but there are 9 shop stewards or ex-shop-stewards on the side! |
Subject: RE: Dead Horse Morris From: Dead Horse Date: 12 Nov 08 - 03:35 AM Several commies, innumerable wiccans, a practising priest, a number of tory buggers, catholics, protestants and other ne'er do wells, old crones, young louts - AND Mark Lawson, who will remain anonymous. |
Subject: RE: Dead Horse Morris From: Dave Masterson Date: 12 Nov 08 - 08:48 AM Mark Lawson? Anonymous? ... a contradiction in terms, surely!!! |
Subject: RE: Dead Horse Morris From: romany man Date: 12 Nov 08 - 01:15 PM i refuse to comment |
