Make it stop

I have had enough of those bloody bagpipes. I wish I knew where the noise was coming from...

Cultural pride or not, ten minutes of the fekking pipes illustrates why so many Scotsmen are dour and humourless.

You're hearing bagpipes while listening to a track called "Man of Aran"? There might be a connection there ...

That was my initial thought, but then Elle said she could hear them and they are still there without the headphones...

Sadly not - it's some ghastly person playing somewhere just out of sight....

But the sound of bagpipes played well is uplifting and emboldening (ooo is that a made up word?). They're not just to strike fear into the heart of the enemy, they're a rallying call, a bit like the trumpet at fox hunts.

heheheh, that's why the piper was always stationed in the next town over :)

Yes, and I quite like the sound of bagpipes, but it becomes annoying jolly quickly.

The best piper in the world is agony to me close to - end of, I'm afraid! I don't doubt the talent, it's just not for me. And yes, bad piping is far worse!
