There are lots of wild bees, but we also rent hives of bees for the weeks that the bogs are in full bloom. From here the bees go down to California for the almond orchards.

My grandfather kept bee hives for several years, but the bears always tried to destroy them in the winter. It's easier and cheaper just to rent them when we need them.

(More reckless than Snufkin you say, Norc? He jumped out a flying boat at 500 meters in the dream didn't he? I'd never do that! )

It better not be, we haven't even had a bouquet/garter toss yet! And I'm not getting cheated out of a free meal at the reception.

that's awesome and fascinating, about the bees ^^ maybe i'll take up bee-keeping on my old days.

keyword, dream it was moomin's dream, although Snufkin doesn't like rules and wants to be free and travel, so i still stick to my opinion ^^

lord of the strings will be happy to play canon in D at your wedding, figg^^

guys. the weathermen have predicted snow. snow. it's june. june.

That sucks. On an unrelated note, I was chilling poolside earlier.

but what happened to the supersummer we were promised? i mean.. really?

Its in Scotland Norc.

"lord of the strings will be happy to play canon in D at your wedding, figg^^"

Hey we are having bagpipes! I might even have a fiddle myself, if I get drunk enough.

its what you will be fiddling with that worries me.

I'll just do what I normally do when drunk Mrs Figg, whip it out have a fiddle and see what comes up.

of course it is in scotland...


every bagpipe players is either drunk or deaf.

every bagpipe players is either drunk or deaf- Norc

Ah yes but the best players are both.

I have a thought, that the bag pipes were originally a ferocious, wild animal, so fierce & terrifying that their stare alone could make grown men wet themselves ! The screams of this horrific beast could be heard for many a mile, & on lonely, moonlit nights, when the wind whistled coldly over the moors & glens, one courageous,brave soul dared to face the beast & over power it, ensnaring the creature & binding it to a life of servitude, eternally encased in the tartan of the brave man that risked his life. only by elbowing the tartan bag & blowing down into the creatures sensitive ears do we get the Horrendous,demonic, screeching cries of a beast in infernal torment, doomed for all time,
I almost feel sad for it !

i'm gonna borrow the tardis, go back in time and knock the person who invented the bagpipe down.. srsly, that thing only has one volume. loud.

I have a theory its really wild Haggis that live in the Bagpipes

omg.. yes, must be..

I dunno what you lot are on about- its a beautiful stirring sound that gets right up yer kilt.

its truly horrid.

But I was going to play a reel and a jig at the wedding, my bag fully inflated, kilt twirling.

no.
