There's the odd side-effect to worry about. Like twisted ankles,

Heh. Yes, I wound up with an ankle in plaster and an impressive cut on
my forehead when a stick went awry. Dangerous business.

Yes, we all know how dangerous Morris dancing is, but Biker Dude wants
to know how to look like a *pukka* biker, and you are the self-
appointed representative of all pukkas, so you should re-post that
picture of how you faced
terrible danger, albeit with a quivering upper lip, as you were
menaced by your
stick waving mate.

First, pukka is an adjective, so your attempt to use British slang
fails miserably, as ever. Secondly, you have no idea what Morris side
I dance with and thirdly, you just aren't *funny*. Must try harder.

George Orwell redefined "pukka" as a sort of poseur, which fits you
perfectly.

I know that you switch sides and play for the other team on Thursdays.

That's a worn out Evil Clown meme. Please get some new and
entertaining material, Mr. Pooka.
