Re: On competition - is music a sport

Re: Balmoral bonnet recommendation
Does it matter what the size and color of the toorie is? black, blue or red?
Does the Balmoral always have the big toorie and the glen the little one? Or is no toorie okay?

Re: Pakistani bagpipes hurt by Brexit?!
You want sympathy for what is basically a cheap knock-off of a legitimate industry by taking advantage of non-knowledgeable buyers who think they are getting Scottish bagpipes?
