Dancing girls, super heroes and the morris men



Now, regular visitors to this blog will know, I try my best to understand what is going on around me, offer a few pithy comments and let the pictures do the talking. But every now and then, I feel I should interpret what I have seen for the benefit of the hard-of-thinking. Consider Exhibit A, members of the Tower Tales jury:
 


I think we can establish beyond any reasonable doubt that this is a form of morris dancing. The dancing girls are hoping that their exhortations will bring about a bountiful harvest that will enable their mobile phones to recharge throughout the year. It makes about as much sense as the kappa festival, after all. Well, what do you think is going on here?

Scary! According to some daft bit of research reported on the news this morning, people who are easily startled by loud bangs and gruesome scenes are more likely to be right-wing and vote for capital punishment.Does this mean that all we scaredy-cats will be voting for the BNP next election? Scary!

Hmmm. Think it was a slow news day, or a little light relief from the doom and gloom of global financial meltdown.

to be fair,I jump like a banshee at an unexpected bang.

knew I'd found my home in UKIP.

btw those BNP aren't really right wing.a quick look at their manifesto confirms that they are racist socialists.very left wing indeed.

mentioned this to a mate of mine(who's black)
DK 'you know garry,the thing is,people don't get past the racism of the BNP to see the financial illiteracy of their economic policy'
Garry; 'funnily enough,that wasn't uppermost on my mind when four of them were chasing me around the estate three years ago'

old DK was lsot for words,and we all know how rare that is.
