Your favourite instruments

[Uschi]

Just recently I went to see Focus, more to visit a legend than for being a fan. But then there was this guitar player, Jan Dumée, and within no time I had red, hot , glowing lugs and felt all fuzzy

There are certain instruments that when played skillfully, do a lot for me in that way:

keyboards
guitar
voice
drums

And yours are?

Bagpipes, in the right hands, are a truly inspiring instrument ...however, in the WRONG hands, it's another kind of instrument...of TORTURE

[Uschi]

Honey, now we read the title of this thread again, and then you reply properly or I'll send you a couple of Scottish Pipe bands down south

[wilkie UK]

I'm serious, having been to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, I can vouch that there is NOTHING more stirring than the massed pipes and drums

No wonder 'we' decided not to keep trying to take over Scotland, when confronted with the wailing pipes and underwear-LESS Scots

[Uschi]

In a way that's true, especially when they get drunk, tip over thus offering deep insight into their manlyhood

[Silent Knight]

I love backpipes... if they're played well. I love all kinds of traditional Scottish and Irish music.

For the benefit of those of us not familiar with slang on your side of the pond, what exactly are "red, hot, glowing lugs"?

Does that mean ya got yer knickers in a bunch?

Oh, and my favorite instrument is of course, an Ax...

Well, I made a brave attempt to diguise that fact, wasn't very successful, was I?

Basically lugs means ears. I doubt that many English people know it either

[wilkie UK]

I know I don't like it, when someone's shouting in me lug 'ole

[Uschi]

You don't count, you are not properly English

I never asked, to which Clan do you belong actually?

[wilkie UK]

Hmm, I thought I was peoperly English? My parents are both English, although my paternal grandfather was Welsh, and maternal grandfather was Scottish (from Glasgow, BTW)

Should we now address you as McWilkie

Bet your tartan would be green and yellow

[Silent Knight]

Hey McWilkie, are we gonna sing Loch Lomond together in Amager Bio them?

[Uschi]

Hmm, I thought I was peoperly English? My parents are both English, although my paternal grandfather was Welsh, and maternal grandfather was Scottish (from Glasgow, BTW)

Then you have already two clan connections, one through your grandfather and one through your wife, you are spoilt for choices Welcome to the world of the wild and backwards people
