Pipe Down, Please!
Scottish First Minister Jack McConnell has been pronounced deaf as a post after attending Pipefest 2005, where more than 8,500 pipers played together to raise funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Organizers said that by making the most unholy din ever to be heard in Edinburgh since Mrs McGintys' cat got its tail squashed by Wee Jack, who caught the creature looking up his skirt as he opened a new sheltered housing complex the good lady and her moggie were moving into, record amounts of money had been raised as the public threw obscene amounts of cash at the pipers to make them go away.

LOL! You mean you're not inspired by the bagpipes? At least you avoided the "god-awful caterwauling" cliche.
I do quite like them really, Elizabeth. A lone piper playing a lament IS inspiring - and can bring a tear to the eye of anyone, no matter how hard they think they might be.
Thousands of them playing together.......well, maybe not.

Far be it from me to malign Scotland's national instrument. :D I was remembering a previous post of yours that seemed to indicate a distaste for the sound. I'll just chalk it up to brain shrinkage from last night's debauchery.
I think I have mentioned something before about grown men in kilts squeezing cats under their arms till they wail with pain, so your brain is probably still intact.
Debauchery indeed? Disgraceful - how could you? ;) You've made me jealous now.

Have you no soul? Does yer blood nay stir and make yee want to get up and slaughter hundreds of Englishmen when you hear the likes of 'Cabarfeidh' or 'Point of War'?

Thanks David. A fair point you make, now, back to my Pink Floyd!
Deport me? OK, ready to go, bags packed :)
