The Bagpipes....Do You Like Them??

[Tiddles]

Q. What's the difference between a bagpipe and an onion?
A. No one cries when you chop up a bagpipe.


:lol:

That posted to break the ice....I happen to ADORE bagpipe music. One of my neighbors plays, and he practices every Monday night around 8 pm. My living room windows open, I can celebrate my Brit heritage with my toes tapping.

Do you enjoy the sound of bagpipes??

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Being of Scottish heritage, of course I do. I have a few CD's of bagpipe music I kick out every once and a while.

[sonosun]

Occasionaly and not up too close I enjoy bagpipe music.

You said it BRUTHER !

Lucas :D

[frankdicer]

I like the pipes...they're great for headaches.
Not cure them, give them :lol:

re: bagpipes -- The Irish invented them and gave them to the Scots as a joke, and the Scots haven't seen the joke yet.

Question: What's the difference between a bagpipe and a trampoline?
Answer: You take your shoes off when you jump on a trampoline.

"The sound of bagpipes (burning on a stove)
warms the heart"

A piper parking his car at the foot of Glencoe forgot to lock his door. Unfortunately he left a set of brand new bagpipes in the back of his vehicle. When he returned there were two sets of pipes on the back seat.


sorry couldn't resist; haven't had a chance to use bagpipe jokes in years

I only like very, very small doses of bagpipes, like in Wings' Mull of Kintyre, or BeeGees Alone.

Otherwise, I'd like to add 'em to sage and onion stuffing! :lol:

As far as I know, those "bagpipes" were keyboard.

[Bangers&MrMash]

One half of my heritage is Aberdeen Scots (Burnett) so that must be why I love the pipes. I like nothing better than a multi-piped rendition of "Scotland the Brave".

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

"Amazing Grace" on the pipes is very moving.

[Punch_N_Judy]

I LOVE bagpipes! I acutally own a chanter (the beginning instrument for the bagpipes), but I haven't learned to play it yet.

And I'll stop if I see someone playing the pipes, I even saw a cop (here in NC) at a crosswalk carrying one. :)

[frankdicer]

...I even saw a cop (here in NC) at a crosswalk carrying one. :)

Yes but was he wearin' the kilt?

I really do like bagpipes though.....they're loud and raucous to the verge of
annoying.....really kinda like me sometimes.

If someone had written "The Hunchback of Edinburough Castle" then we could have
had the classic line "The pipes, oh the pipes"......

[Goldie]

I know this is an old post, but just wanted to say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the bagpipes!!! I could sit and listen to them all day! :dance01:

[Assistant 134]

I love bagpipes.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

My Scottish blood calls to them.....

[Goldie]

Can you play them, Greg?

[sonosun]

Before Greg tells about blowing up the bag I just want to say that my Pal was cleared of all charges.:thumb:

ROTFLMAO !!!!

No Goldie, I can't play them... would love to learn though !!

[Lucas The Tucas]

Goldie .... I'm trying awful hard to be nice here.

:evil: And I'm staying out of your conversation here. :lol: :lol:

Lucas :D

[sonosun]

A gentleman that knows how to play the pipes knows when not to.

[Canada1]

Great instrument!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

The sounds make my Scottish blood run wild !!!

[sirrichard]

Bagpipes sound so spiritual, I've heard them many times at funerals. I just been told my uncle Ralph passed away, 94, I thought he would bust a hundred. This has been a sad week!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Sorry to hear about your Uncle Ralph, Sir Richard.

[minki]

I'm sorry for your loss, sirrichard.

[Diana Yarswick]

Bagpipes. You love them or you don't. I do. I have a practice chanter but my fingers aren't long enough. The pipes are calling.

[Sir Humphries]

I like the sound of Bagpipes as well. Except when I accidentally choose a bagpipes song on my computer and have my speakers turned up at the time.:shock::b**ch::o

I don't think I have any Scottish blood in my veins, but I was told that I have Irish somewhere.

[Dear_Sexy_Knickers]

"Do you like them..."
Well, Let's just say I always have to fast forward through the bagpipe sequence of the "Roots" episode.

My father and brother are into going the whole "reconnecting with your Scottish heritage" thing, but the sound of bagpipes always makes me cringe.

Tell your Dad and Brother that unless they wear kilts in public like proper Scotsmans, they ain't doing it right... :emotlol:

Don't forget the "Haggis".

[sonosun]

Don't forget the "Haggis".

No proper Scotsman would be wearing anything under the kilts either.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

No proper Scotsman would be wearing anything under the kilts either.

That's what I meant by "true" Scotsman. I can deal with that but not the haggis !!!

[Tiddles]

Reminds of an old joke about kilts...

An aged Scotsman was asked what was worn under his kilt. He bristled and then roared: "WORN?! Nothing is WORN!! Everything's as good as NEW!".

[sonosun]

:emotlol:

[Sir Humphries]

One of these days I'll have to do a transcript of the Charlie Prose joke having to do with a Scotsman who has a kilt made for himself and has some leftover material, so he has a pair of underwear made to go with it.

He goes to show the kilt and underwear off to his girlfriend and doesn't realize that he forgot to wear his undies before he lifts up the kilt and shows what he's got under there to her.

[Agent4711]

I don't know how anyone's blood could fail to be stirred by a pipe band playing "Scotland the Brave" or a lone piper on a hillside playing a mournful tune. Went to a highland games this weekend and could've listened all day.

You've not seen Greg in his now have you ? :emotlol:

Pull your skirt down Greg.

Rumour has it that Greg's got very interesting knees!!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

:emotlol: :emotlol:

I am not now nor anytime in the future going to comfirm or deny the rumor about Greg's knees.

[Tiddles]

The thing about Greg's knees is that he generally likes them down around his ankles. Hence the "interesting" part.

I've traced my ancestry to Aberdeen (Burnette) all the way back to the 10th century, so that must have something to do with the stir I feel in my heart when I hear Scotland the Brave on the pipes. So yes, I love bagpipe music.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

:thumbup:

Ever hear Off Kilter? Great rock band with the pipes!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I'll have to check them out Diana.

I first heard them at the Canada complex at Epcot in Florida. They are high energy and fun to watch as well.
