Things you didn't consciously know you knew, #5875:

Morris dancing sounds like nothing else on earth.

Walked into kitchen, where radio 4 is playing. And lo, there was the sound of a creaky accordion, the rhythmic jangling of bells, and the crack of very large stick on stick. Me : 'why are they doing a program on Morris?'

No question of it being anything else. thirty seconds later, the sounds of a Yorkshire accent going 'well, how did you do?' reporter of big city : 'I had no idea Morris was so difficult! ....Kinda fun, actually.'

Dammit. When's that 'Morris: A life with bells on' film coming out?

Alas, I do not drink. I did it while traveling through an encampment of medievalists in the middle of absolutely nowhere, though.
