Couple of weeks ago, they brought out these gold colored US dollar coins. The first weekend they came out, I noticed, out of the corner of my eye, lots of people very grandly flipping me quarters. Now, I smile and nod, what ever they flip, but in the back of my mind, I am thinking, Cheep buggers, and me sweating away at these Uilleann pipes in the hot weather. Well, emagine my embarassment at my bad thoughts when that evening I emptied the case and found all these gold dollars!
The Popular Halfwit, from Wiltshire, who has not posted in a while... well he and I were on the subway in New York. There was a South American band, pan flutes mandolin, drum, the usual - lots of em in New York. Now Pop says, "I say, I know that fellow, he looks just like a fellow who plays in Bath but not quite." I smile inside, thinking, well this is the second Peruvian Band Pop has seen, of course they look alike. Pop introduces himself and says he is from England. "Oh yes," the fellow, "my brother has a band in Bath" :-\
