Remember my cousins neighbour who would've been about 6 at the time (he's now 17, bloody hell!) asking if he could have a go with his golf stick. Upon being informed it was a club, he asked if he could have a go with his golf club stick :D

Oh yeah, and also...
having had a terrific curry last night managed to squeeze out a stunning fart this morning under the sheets, leaving the missus dazed and groggy.

anyway - freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezing today - but we had a piper - and quite a good one... cheered me up! (and he was colder than me!)

Sorry Bruce, but this is one of the rare (very rare?) occasions I'm with thebish. The pipes and drums of the Black Watch playing The Black Bear at full bore is one of the most stirring and thrilling sounds on earth. :(

I'm not really into massed pipes... just the one piper makes a spine-tingly haunting impression across a foggy cemetery - mournful and moving...

pipes should definitely only be outside and a long way away... I once had a funeral where they had the piper INSIDE a small crem chapel - it was DEAFENINGLY awful!!!

Sorry Tango, I hadn't for a second realised that this lone racket-maker was actually replicating the pipes and drums of the Black Watch playing The Black Bear at full bore.

How the feck could you tell that from the picture? :shock:

"The Mucking of Geordie's Bryre" followed by "Donald Where's Your Troosers?" surely.

Damn it, TANGO, I'll have to out and buy a black watch and retire my gold one. If nothing else such action would give me an excuse for my in-shower wailing. :mrgreen:

Bloody hell - he's either got frost in his hat or they've been reduced to shooting old age bears.
