Bagpipers on board...

[Oen]

Yesterday evening, I passed several very pleasant hours with a chap who moors next to my boat in her new home...

All was well, and interesting conversation on many topics flowed, until...


















...until he revealed himself to be a bagpipe player.

Could the panel advise as to the appropriate course of action, upon discovering that a guest on board is a practitioner of this darkest of arts?

Buy a large bongo type drum and join him every time he fires up his pipes.

Something like this one, player properly, will leave a monotonous ring in his ears.

Remind him that a Scottish gentleman has been defined as "someone who can play the pipes but disnae".

Ye dinna ken the tradition of him offering free use of his whisky bottle afore use of the pibroch, noo ?

At the start of ARC 2001 there was a piper playing on the foredeck of one of the entrants. As he came into Rodney Bay 18 days later he was STILL PLAYING.

I never did find out what effect it had on the rest of the crew. If anyone knows of an Ovni called Little Wing maybe they can enlighten us.

I believe he was disqualified because he arrived single-handed

He definitely needs a Bavarian storm kilt /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
