looksee you need new glasses and Rube you naughty boy, of course I have experience running up hills nekkid, sure I do it every morning before breakfast to get the blood flowing, you should try it
Well, there's plenty of hills around here but they kinda go through the middle of the town, I think I might do even more damage to the local tourist industry :eek:
Edit: hang on, it was Chucken's nekkid hill running that was in dispute! :-)0 -

Do you mind if I slither and stumble and leave the running fer the young wans? Besides moving too fast while nekkid can cause locals to go blind. :cool:0 -

Twas young Chucken who introduced me to this band of Scottish folk players and I dug this out ready to welcome her and Mr Chuck home from their sojourn in foreign climes.
PS sorry to post a music video here in the peace and tranquility of O&O, but where else will she see it?
PPS also sorry for the sound quality on this one.
Sorry lads and lassies but....really? "Me ears is in bits after dah."
Quote from an earlier opus on bagpipes from BrensBenz:
Bagpipes? This thread is supposed to be about "trivial things" that annoy you. Bagpipes cannot be accused of being a trivial annoyance. Bagpipes provide intense annoyance to every living creature and plant on this planet except, of course for those sickoes blowing into them who have managed to supersize that gland in their heads which attenuates certain noises.
Pythagorus went to the trouble of developing the musical "octave". A nice bit of work there, fair dues. Pity you had to ruin my childhood with your infernal triangles.
Then the Egyptians invented and immediately rejected the bagpipes because it couldn't quite make that top note. In a remarkable bit of marketting, they managed to sell it to the Celts who quickly banished it to remote, West European islands. The Irish, reluctant to dump this heirloom, improved it by giving it its top note and extra drones. Unfortunately, their work was better suited to radio because, seeing the "elbow pipes" being played gave rise to severe mockery from a series of foreign invaders.
Remarkably, the failed Egyptian prototype still survives, in Scotland, parts of Ireland and East US cities, where, at the drop of a hat, players, usually wearing orange skirts, still proudly demonstrate the bagpipes' ancient inability to play a full octave.
Since the guvverment is inventing ever more stupid offences, isn't it time for bagpipe playing to be added to the list of nuisance crimes? No? What about a bagpipes tax? No? A register of known bagpipe players?
Perhaps my grasp of historical data is slightly tenuous but not as inaccurate as bagpipe players describing their output as "music".0 -
