    No worries dude! One of my best friends is my lead tip, and I get a bit touchy when folks start to bust drummers. (quick tempered.......hah......you should see me when I really get going!)

    Drone on!

If we didn't have that, we'd have to start making fun of how people look, or their lack of social skills, or how quick tempered they are.

    Why do you think I moved to Scotland..Acceptance..I think not, helps but not entirely neccasary.
    I'm a bit of a noise maker anyway what with doing metal work so we've been trying to find a place with no neihgbors...Easier said than done.

    I'm the same as mexpiper. My brother and I have been taking lessons on the chanter for a few months. We want to graduate to the pipes eventually.
