Default No band?

Not even a bugler to pipe (?) me aboard this vessel? Outrage!

Anyway, those who remember me I saw 'well done', but it was less than a week ago and for those that don't, you are either a 'noob'* or need to visit your GP regarding your dementia.

Welcome aboard. One question, Why would anyone pipe an NCO aboard anything larger than a rowboat?

Avast! Scurvy dogs and other such nautical gibberish. You may have won this battle, but you shall not win the war.

What was it about kicking over tall buildings and picking up trains? No it was the other way round... Catching trains in your teeth and kicking bullets off the track?

Award to the man who finds the chaddest version of a joke that dates back to at least to the Second World War (Spike Milligan).

Sorry, I booked the band for a private gig to freshen up the US Army Signal Corps Band. The bugler sends his best wishes though.

Welcome back Spider!

Would a Kazzoo and a redneck with a XXX Jug do you for piping you aboard?

Glad you found your way to the new Forum!

Pardon the delay, gentlemen, but there were some NRC firewalls to climb over, dig under, and shoot through before I could get in the yard to play. Thanks to Grunt for the air support, and Spider, here's your band.

Well it's better than nothing.

I've put a video up myself, but it doesn't seem to want to work for me.



It's a pity, 'tis a beautiful solo.
