Heres a very talented Ushgarak at his local COD (Corps of Drums)

What musical instruments can you play?

Ushgarak
And a very nice bunch of guys they all were too.

Dim
*GRIN*

ratcat
*Composes self*

*Still composing self*

OK, well I played the recorder ion junior school and the Tenor Saxaphone for 3 years in secondary school. Gave it up to concentrate on my examx and never got back into it though.

Also, a very little bit of piano, and I was quite good on the glockenspiel but no where near Patrick Moore standards...... But I did perform a solo at the school concert one year.

queeq
I like to play, but not musical instruments. Don't mind listening to them, does that count?

Ushgarak
Still composing yourself? Or was that a pun...?

ratcat
Well, you know, musical instruments, composing.... Or maybe I meant something else entirely. Depends on how paraniod you feel today....

Ushgarak
How paranoid do you want me to be?

queeq
I'm confused now. Do you compose music RC or just play the instruments you mentioned?

razman
I think he meant in the sense "To make oneself calm or tranquil".

Ushgarak
Well, that's killed THAT joke...

ratcat
Exactly, I used to play the instrumants listed, but I haven't picked up a musical instrument in over 10 years...

queeq
Don't I feel like the ultimate dumb dutchman now. Thanks Raz. laughing out loud

ratcat
Yeah, thanks Raz. laughing out loud rolling on floor laughing laughing out loud

razman
You call THAT a joke?

Ushgarak
It was more of our whimsical commentry...

ratcat
Well, anything that makes queeq look dumb.... laughing out loud rolling on floor laughing laughing out loud

Ushgarak
We can so rarely try...

ratcat
ACtually, it's more the point that he admitted it himself.... laughing out loud rolling on floor laughing laughing out loud

Ushgarak
Glad we are all happy...

Dim
Hmph!..well, I got the joke!

ratcat
Whoo hooo

*waves a little flag*

Dim
smarta$$.. roll eyes (sarcastic)

razman
Ushgarak, you happy?

Dim
Oh, Ushie's always happy. laughing out loud rolling on floor laughing

Ushgarak
Mind like sewers, you lot... quite why you think I'd have anything do with that...

ratcat
Dim, I'd rather have the money.....

Ushgarak
There seems to be a lot of ROFLing going on here. I demand it ceases; I can't hit that one.

JediOasis
I can play a little bit of acoustic guitar. I know a few songs by this little British group named Oasis. big grin My favorites to do are Slide Away and Carry Us All(I love this song!)

finti
I can play the piano piano piano I can play the piano pia pia no. Well sort of used tho have an Organ/Keyboard(just in case some of you wanted to be funny)at home when I grew up. Used to spend hours with it when I was bored and I actually was able to play some songs. Love to sing though, maybe the reason I had to opperate away pollypps on my voice chord. wink

ratcat
What's ROFLing?????

ratcat
Yeah, but I still don't know what it is....

Dim
I don't think anyone is ROLFING..

razman
Doesn't it mean "Rolling On Floor Laughing"?

ratcat
Oh, you mean laughing out loud rolling on floor laughing laughing out loud

Dim
But the F and the L are transversed...

ratcat
My confusion is answered.

queeq
Doesn't one need a good joke BEFORE one ROFLes?

Edna_witch
My sister is the musical one in my family. I am the artistic one. She plays the piano and taught herself to play the flute. I used to play the violin a bit when I was little and I also played the recorder. I played descant, treble and sopranino. My hands arent big enough to reach the notes on a tenor. I do ssing though if you can count my voice as an instrument. Im a soprano. Not a very good one mind you!

Ushgarak
Hey! I had the f and l the right way around. and yes, queeq, one would assume you'd need a good joke first, butpeople were using that graemlin anyway...

queeq
I hope Edna will sing for us one day.

Yes Ush, the ROFL graemlin is a bit overused and not always appropriately so. laughing out loud

Ushgarak
Well, Edna rejected the 'singing for us' idea at the old place...

ratcat
Well, I happen to like it...

You moan when I'm depressed, ya moan when I'm happy.

I can't win!!!! sad

Ushgarak
Well, Ijust moan period, it's not personal..

ratcat
Heard that one before... sad

Ushgarak
Which bit?

I was just moaning about the graemlin, anyway... like I say, I can't hit the tricky bugger

ratcat
rolling on floor laughing rolling on floor laughing rolling on floor laughing rolling on floor laughing rolling on floor laughing rolling on floor laughing rolling on floor laughing rolling on floor laughing

Gundark
I took guitar lessons for about a year when I was 12. Tommy is the guitar player in our house. Can't sing to save my life, but can hum a great imperial march. evil face

Ushgarak
Good job there are precious few situations when singing will save yourlife...

What did you think of THAT pic of me, Gundy?

ratcat
I have the imperial march on my modile phone....

queeq
You look very...err... proper, Ush. Hehehehehe.

ratcat
Compose yourself queeq.... laughing out loud rolling on floor laughing laughing out loud

Ushgarak
Eh-up, here we go...

ratcat
I was just saying.............

Ushgarak
Hey, Gundy hasn't commented on mypic...

ratcat
Nah, she kinda stuck her nose in then dived off. Busy I guess.

Ushgarak
Oohh... couldn't be having with that.

ratcat
Just like I'm about to do.

Ushgarak
Oh... all alone...

ratcat
Nonsense, queeq will keep you company...

Ushgarak
Woo-hoo!

ratcat
Now, now, play nice....

Ushgarak
I promise

queeq
I won't be much longer. Sorry Ush.

ratcat
Maybe Dimmy will come and play, you'd like that wouldn't you Ush.

Ushgarak
She IS going to play. In the RP. In a few days.

ratcat
Really, and in a few days, how curious.....

Ushgarak
I think it's great. Soon I will have the whole Council.

queeq
Power hungry eh?

ratcat
Somehow, I doubt that ush.

Ushgarak
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

ratcat
Guess I will have to investiagte the RP section over the weekend.

queeq
Why?

ratcat
Cos I did promise I would when I'd finished at Reading. And tomorrow should be the last real heavy day of work over there.

Ushgarak
If you want to see ALL of the topics then you have to change the view options becuase some of them are old.

ratcat
That's OK, I'm sure I'll figure it out. I do a little bit of work with computers you know. laughing out loud

Ushgarak
Just thought I'd warn you some of it has aged. Though I've bumped up all the important stuff.

queeq
Reading. Hmmm, I'll be there in August.

Ushgarak
oooh!

queeq
Was there last January as well. Different reason though.

Ushgarak
Reading in January... how lovely...

queeq
Drizzle.

Ushgarak
Ad infinitum

queeq
ROFling? Is that an Essex expression?

ratcat
I have no idea, but apparently there is a lot of it going on...

queeq
He was referring to this place. This is not Essex, I hope. eek!

Gundark
I think your pic is great Ush !!!!! I LOVE a man in a uniform. xoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

queeq
Uh-oh. Now you're in danger, Ush.

The thing I really miss in that pic is the moustache.

Gundark
I'm very partial to moustaches. evil face

queeq
Uh-oh..... In.... what way, may I ask?

Gundark
I think they give a man character. Why what ever did you think I meant ? wink

queeq
Tommy has one, so I'll refrain from my POV on moustaches. big grin

Dim
Hehehe..I like em if they're with a beard.. big grin

Ushgarak
I think I can safely say that a moustache would make me look terrible...

ratcat
Hmmm, never managed to get past the scratch phase, always end up shaving it off.

queeq, where in Reading?

Gundark
Tommy has a goat now with his stache. I guess that qualifies as a beard.

ratcat
That's what I had, my passport photo actually has me with a half grown goatee...

queeq
There's this thing about moustaches, especially when combined with a uniform.

Where in Reading? The University, on both occasions but for different reasons.

Jameous Woodshire
I guess I'll chime in.
I play bass and guitar, but not as often as I should. I also can play a bit of piano even though I took it for 8 years when I was young (I've forgotten most of it). I can sing (sortof wink ) too. I have a pretty good version of Wish You Were Here, I want to digitise sometime.

Also I have a 'stache and goatee at the moment, but that changes alot. It just depends on how I feel. But that is kinda off topic wink

See ya smokin'

Gundark
I love Pink Floyd. Hmmmm....tell me more, JW.... cool

ratcat
Oh, you're just such a Rock chick. smile

Jameous Woodshire
Floyd's great! I got to see the Momentary Lapse tour twice and both concerts were unbelieveable! They are the second best band I've ever seen live. I havent heard lately but wasnt Roger supposed to get back with them? I hope so.

Also I hope to make it to the Eric Clapton show when he comes to town, but I dont have my tickets yet... sad

I'll have to see.

Gundark
I've found free tickets are the best. cool

ratcat
Show Off!

Jameous Woodshire
I read your thread before Gundark. I'm sooooo jealous. evil face

He's one of the only rock idols of mine that I haven't seen yet.

ratcat
Got get tickets, gotta get tickets.

My brother saw Bon Jovi last year, said they were amazing.
