What was national health orange juice? Did you take it with the cod liver oil? Cos that just sounds bouffin

I think you can't spell

I used to listen to my elders and then I grew up and realised they all talked a load of s**te.

I can absolutely understand why other people don't like them, but even as a kid I loved pipe bands, my grandparents would listen to Jimmy Shand on radio scotland each week with out fail and I would grumble a bit about that, but it grows on you.

Don't you swear at me young Biccies. Was you dinking - you seem to be slurring your words a little there. ? I don't think anybody would call me a truly patriotic Scot but you'll not see me walk past a piper in a hurry. The Red Hot Chilli Pipers might be a bit twee but they're fun And then there's the Aussie that Scotland adopted.... One of the good things about Celtic bands is that they never get so famous they they aren't the guys in the acoustic session down your local, so they're all quite well house trained and pretty good a squashing onto small spaces to reel off a set. At one point these were the chaps next-door, and I didn't have a teeny tiny crush on the guy in the hat ? . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZjMuIALjR4

If it's any consolation, substitute drinking for computer and they seem to feel exactly the same way about boomers.

Why do they bite?

Very noisy things, ceilidhs. Lots of whooping and cheering. Those Americans got their Yee Haws from somewhere.

Yes - I wasn't joking in post 54.

I don't know but you would think at Monkey's age he would manage to deal with them with out having to wrestle - unless the wrestling was part of the plan that is.

Flipping heck! That wet rug must have weighed a tonne.

Well, that would certainly be interesting and might confuse any walkers on the towpath. ? Much as I like a good reel, you might need a Duke of Perth rather than a Dashing White Sergeant lest everybody all fall over themselves ?, A Gay Gordons would need really teeny weeny steps and you couldn't go off course at the twirly bits or you might face plant into a wall, but if every one all stood really close you could probably pull off a Strip the Willow with out too much incident. Could you make sure you film it all though cos that I really want to see. ETA - But you could swap Country Dancing for Highland and then you could Sword Dance and Hornpipe with out much ado.

I would've normally just given a quiet greenie but as I can't - Well said, and with your usual wisdom and kindness.

I don't know - I went off to find better things to do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Of course it was, it was designed to garner a response. He’d look very silly standing on his soap box talking to himself. 99% of the outrage and the outrage at the outrage on the other thread was nothing more than a wind up, and probably 90% of the outrage on the rest of the forum too at the moment. Every year at this time of year the forum falls into a state of grumbling at something (anything will do). Bored trolls are gonna do what bored trolls do.

Better than most you could buy in the shops and made to taste. Yummy.
