Jepp you have a piont there MNgirl its realy tough!
When my godfather should be buried they played "amazing Graze"in the church!
IT WAS AWESOME i havent word for it!
I didn't liked it untill Norway played Scotland in the World Cup qualifying in Oslo. Many scots took the trip over ty party with us and in Oslo there is something called the Oslo Caledonian Pipe Band that played and was very cool and sounded realy strange in a good way.
Howdy Godfather! Welcome! How far are you from Dundee? Am aquainted with a Mark D from there. Hope to hear from you a lot here on the forum.
Mark D?? never heard of him pal, theres over 150,000 people in Dundee Im afraid I dont know any of them. I live in Wick which is in the far north, about 17 miles from John o groats, which is as far north as ye can go in Scotland
Sorry MNgirl . I dont share your love of the pipes, I used to have a crazy neighbour that took it upon himself to treat us to a rendition of his anthem of Bagpipe tunes every day
I wouldnt mind but it used to start at 7am in the morning 6 days a week, it was impossible to get a long lie so eventually all the neighbours joined up & told him either stop, or he`d be eating the pipes!!!
He got the message but I still cringe whenever I hear them
Yeah, Godfather, I can see your point there. That would be very annoying! I don't hear them that often, but I remember a time a couple of years ago, at our town festival, a group of men were playing them and it was hauntingly beautiful.
Hello Godfather!! Welcome aboard the Northwestern!! We are glad to have you here!
Cheers ma dears, Im glad to be here , apart from the cold & ice, I can relate to a lot of what the Northwestern crew does, having done it maself. It is hard work, make no mistake . What you see is what you get, sometimes you get really hammered by the weather, them boys are not acting
Welcome aboard! Scotland, one of the places on my list to see...beefy men in kilts, oh yes, historic places & scenery too.
It's known as Braw men in Kilts. They are very comfortable too, love to put on the old kilt every now and again. I agree bagpipes are wonderful sounding, got myself a CD with nothin' but bagpipe music on it for Christmas, listen to it all the time.
