Various other people started with the bagpipes, but the only the Scots have taken them worldwide, turned them into a weapon, and occasionally found a proper use for them.

And unless you've also danced Bonnie Anne to them in a Basque barracca (or something like that, I don't speak basque) court, don't argue too much...

ugly little buggers wombats, and by the way it was the Irish who gave Scotland the bagpipes, the Scots still haven't got the joke yet.

Oh come on, the Scots do have humour.. who else could have marketed the bagpipe as a musical instrument?! Or the Haggis as a food product??

Do you mean Colander?

Brings to mind my mothers' phrase for when 3 children wouldn't sit still... 'you're like a fart in a colander - can't decide which hole to get out of!'

Could it be sasspirilla?
