Funny! against some nonsense only humor helps if they want us all to know that green is no longer a colour.

Would you believe it? I had my bloody neighbour hammering on my door at 2:30 this morning.
Luckily I was still up playing my bagpipes.

The definition of a Gentleman; someone who knows how to play the bagpipes, but chooses not to.

The definition of a Gentleman; someone who knows how to play the bagpipes, but chooses not to. When I was a kid and living in Scotland I had a few lessons on the chanter in Music lessons at School So one Christmas about 10 years ago we were invited to a New Years party with friends for a Scottish themed evening and I thought it would be a hoot to buy a set of bag pipes and get a tune out of it on the evening Bought a cheap set and disappointingly couldn’t get a proper note out of it despite a day trying All I could get out of it was a rather short tuneless drone with about 2 notes before it collapsed Put it away in the loft thinking it was just a cheap good for nothing set and not my technique that was in anyway to blame Until A friend of Rachel’s was seeing a new man and they came round to dinner 2 years ago It came up conversation that he could play the bagpipes I got the set out after dinner and even though we had lots a wine, to our amazement he immediately got the most fantastic tunes out of it It was one of the best and most memorable dinner parties we have ever had Hearing the bagpipes played at full belt in your own house by someone good is quite a thing No wonder it was an instrument for the battle grounds

One of my Pa's favorite Naval stories concerns his time in Hong Kong in the early 60s.
Admiral Sir David Gregory, the Flag Officer at the time, being a Jock had a piper attached to his staff. Said piper would march around the table at mess dinners, playing a few Scottish airs.
On the occasion of a visit to Hong Kong of the US Fleet, David Gregory turned to the American Admiral and enquired if he had any requests for the piper. "Oh Gee" he replied "I'd just love to hear him play my l'il ol' Kentucky home". The piper muttered into Gregory's ear that he didnae ken it, and was told to just play any old pibroch.
After a few minutes of playing a mournful dirge, the piper ended his tune with a flourish. Silence. Only broken by the American admiral saying "very nice, but it didn't sound much like the version of my l'il ol' Kentucky home I know".

Luckily I was still up playing my bagpipes. The young couple who have moved in next door have made a sex tape. Obviously they don't this yet.

Talking of neighbors, I think my neighbor is having an affair with my wife.
He seems so bloody miserable lately.
