Any mad men out there who would like to start up the Ottoman Morris Dancers, all for charity, but a good laugh to boot, bells, fez, swords, rolling pins, fertility cake and a fiddle and drum! could be fun in the sun, sponsored by an international brewery who will pay for the team to visit the capitals of the world.



Performing and representing the TRNC a laugh and a half or maybe a pint, we would give the line dancers something to think about!!

has anybody heard of the falmouth marine band?basically it was started many years ago and has just gone from strength to strength,i think the main criteria was that you "didnt know "how to play a musical instrument!

Its all a bit of fun really but they do lots of charity events and are always in the local carnival there,always in different costumes and the last time i heard them parade it was actually quite listenable too!They have quite a following i believe.

A good choice nuresawful, we need need to employ our own paramedic for a few of them (just in case)!



A good international mix Turks, Cypriots, Italian, Scottish, English



The COSMOrris dancers



Found an Ottoman shoe supplier, can get Ottoman red Fez with embroidery, baggy trousers a nice blouse and waist coat and we are nearly there, just need the bells, inflated pigs bladder, sticks and the tunes to dance to

Thats okay Aslan I can supply a bank of at least 4 nurses that should do it.

Next time I see the 'goatman' will ask for a loan of the bells.



On a serious note do you think the world is ready for this yet !!!
