Edinburgh Tattoo. What A Racket.

[Zacs-Master]

Are bagpipes the most discordant racket of an 'instrument'. Had to switch it off. Sounded like a load of cats being strangled.

[ChillDoubt]

I spent 2 years stationed next door to the Royal Scots and have to say there is something very stirring about pipes and drums and I rather enjoy them.

[cupid04]

I'm not allowed to turn it off ;-(

[Mamyalynne]

A lone piper sets my teeth on edge, but i love a Pipe band - en masse they sound much better.

[sandyRoe]

The pibroch's an acquired taste.

[Zacs-Master]

I think that's called brainwashing Chill. ;-)
Is it a coincidence that this is on tonight, just before the Yes / No debate?

^^ Rather like Marmite. I personally cannot abide the sound.

[SirOracle]

Where was that ChillDoubt? I ask because I may have been a next door neighbour of yours.

[mikey4444]

I shall probably get into trouble with our stinging-nettle wary AB'ers, but I agree with Zacs. Frightful racket !

I would say the same about violins.

No taste, zacs, no taste. Pipes are de rigeur in our household.

[SirOracle]

Zacs ....It has been on TV at this time for over 40 years.

You are getting paranoid about the referendum.

[Zacs-Master]

The neighbours must love you! ;-)

[mikey4444]

I trust you have no near neighbours boxy !

[Zacs-Master]

But the debate could have been any night SirO.

[boxtops]

Yup, we're centre terrace - and our local Air Cadets who are over the road from us have an excellent pipe band :-)

[SirOracle]

ChillDoubt

Long after my time. :-)

[mushroom25]

they're canny musicians.

but that commentator doesn't exactly excite and enthuse, does he?
