Jaysus, Tony...

Man, I am sorry to hear the bad news. I'll be keeping you in my prayers. I hope they can get your hearing back for you.

All the best,
Paul

Tony,
with your permission I will also be praying for you. I have seen my Father heal worse than this, I know he can heal the deaf ear.
Blessings

This remark about jumping on a flat set if it was nice is very much in the nature of a personal attack. As such, I think it should be edited and this thread locked immediately.

Tony - get well real soon, man. Prayer does work!

These suggestions of 'personal attacks', sound to me like 'personal attacks', and so therefore I will (without any further ado) lock, edit and delete my mind....

Mackenzie isn't making sets like this anymore... he's gone back to more expensive ones. Although it isn't fancy, the workmanship on the set is great.

I'll second that. His basic sets but still look lovely. However the workmanship shown is apsolutley brilliant. His pipes are some of the best around. They're incredibly stable.

Cheers L42B

That opinion is a flat-out personal attack on Ian Mackenzie. For God's sake, lock this thread!

Sorry, Josh I did not mean to attack Ian Mackenzie in anyway. I have edited my post (per request). I do believe though that they are some of the best around (my opologise to those who I may have offended).

The set I have sounds wonderfull. I have recommended his sets to countless others. The after sales service has been excellent. It's not unusual for Ian to email me occasionaly asking how the piper and set o'pipes is going.

Sincerely L42B

PS: How could I have said such a thing (eek).

Can't get there, Joseph - too many years have gone by!

'Nolite te' is OK, I think, that means to 'refuse to allow yourself'.
An illegitimate person would be 'nothus (nothum)'
Carborundom is a trade name from the 1920's or thereabouts. It just sounds Latin but isn't really.
'Contero (conterere, contrivi, contitum)' is to 'wear away/grind/make weary' which would be the right word, I think.
Trouble is I can't seem to get my head round the necessary declensions and conjugations, if you know what I mean!
To much whistling's sapped my mental powers... I've blown my brains out!

the pipes are spoken for...
Thanks for all the responses.

Glad you got a sale. The pipes in reality are probably worth a lot more for what your selling them for Tony. Jack Brennan (friend/piper) said that my set was at least worth AU $6 000 [if not more], I only bought mine for AU$ 4 000. The fact that your (old) pipes is a unique set (if your a collector) adds more value to the instrument.

May you (whoever the buyer may be) enjoy the new set. You certainly got a bargain.
