Playing the bagpipes daily could be fatal, warn doctors
Just can’t trust neighbours not to turn into a homicidal mob, can you?

The definition of a Scottish gentleman: someone who knows how to play the bagpipes … and doesn’t.
Oh – deadly from *infection* and not pissed off neighbors.
Being shivved in the lung can be described as a deadly infetion
“Moldy Bagpipes were my Doom,
My lament skirls in a stone-cold tomb
Hell is wailing gloom for gloom,
As phantom Satan plays in your room ”
Just to cheer us all up.
Keep on playing.

At this time of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, you must, no you MUST, agree there is surely no sound as emotionally stirring as the massed pipes and drums. Never ceases to raise the hairs on the back of my neck.
Even the Russkies who see them perform on Red Square periodically agree.
Yes, quite but they’re to frighten the shit out of everyone, not actually be listened to…..
Mr Ecks: beautiful scenery but a pity about that ghastly noise.
I always liked Robert Heinlein’s description:
“Pipes seem very odd when you first hear them, and a tyro practicing can set your teeth on edge – it sounds and looks as if he had a cat under his arm, its tail in his mouth, and biting it.”
