Rob Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) Hmm. Methinks that Scottish bagpipes are slightly iffy. That one looks to be sheep/goatskin colour. All the Scottish pipes I have seen are tartan - yet I've never seen a tartan sheep whether fully clothed or au natural.It also begs the question as to who first thought up the idea of taking a goatskin, adding pipes to the legs and tying off surplus holes, then blowing into it and regulating the outflow. I guess that was probably the 10th millennium BC equivalent of the weirdo on the bus? One can certainly assume he sat next to the 'lucky' listener. Edited December 20, 2014 by Rob Quote
Coinery Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 The tartan is only a duvet cover for the same sinister skin beneath (at least with the traditional top-end pipes)! Quote

Rob Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Not as far as I can remember, which probably means a skinful on numerous occasions. We had a day out at Andechs 15 years ago when we went south for the eclipse. I indulged and the wife drove. Half a pig washed down with some suitably heavy liquid ballast. Doppelbocks are always heavy and good value on the calorie front and all weigh in around the 8% mark. Quote
copper123 Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I always thought the pipes came from northern ireland and the scots just stole the idea Quote

Most of the forum members are educated enough to resist the promises of Nigel Farage I hope... You're safe there, chKy! I've very little interest in politics, and have only voted twice in my life! However, I'd queue for the rest of my life in the rain, if my vote ever counted against THAT party getting even a sniff of power! Edited December 21, 2014 by Coinery 1 Quote
