No mercy, these thugs..

What are you laughing at?

No mercy, these thugs..

Postby Steve M » Sun Jan 20, 2013 6:44 pm

A man plays the bagpipes for a living and one night has a gig at a local Scottish pub.

It's about an hour away, so he drives there a little early to give himself time to spare.

Unfortunately the car park at the pub is full so he heads to a public car park, parks his car, and heads towards the pub.

Halfway to the pub he realizes that he's left his set of bagpipes on the back seat of his car in full view of everyone. Fearing the worst, he runs back as fast as he can.

He gets to the car, but it's too late - his worst fears are confirmed. Someone has smashed the window and thrown another 2 sets of bagpipes into the car.

..... ;D...!

Reminds me of the time I was walking round the town with one of my daughters, and I spotted a set of Bag Pipes in a music shop to add to my instrument collection...
She spotted me looking at them with misty eyes, and she said to me...

"Dad...if ever you thought of bringing those bloody things into my house, I promise I will disown you!".... >:(...!

I never did buy them...then...or now!... ;D...!

Paul... ;D... ;D...!

I'm not searching through years of past posts but that reminds me of when I sported you in a kilt. If I'd only known of your bagpipe fettish... Fozzer, in a kilt with an old bag.
