Title: Medals of Honour for the vets.
Post by: admin on July 05, 2012, 03:32:36 AM
Each medal (http://www.fuerteventura-forum.com/Themes/default/images/icons/gold_star.png) represents one year of posting on this forum.

Thank you.

And here I thought you were talking about the Twinke Trust or Okpaki vets

Great Idea Admin, though I thought I was posting before 2011, must just have been that I was reading but not contributing.  :(

Can the man - your earliest post was 'Bagpipes Stolen' in which you confessed to being a newbie on 20th April 2011.

Hi Admin,

Thanks for asking, but no I never got them back, some smart ar**ed little potty poo poo got away with them and probably either dumped them or sold them off the island.  >:(

They were not the type of instrument that you would find being played on the island without drawing attention, and I have a lot of friends living on the island who would let me know very quickly.

The police told me at the time that I was unlikely ever to get them back.  :'(, I was insured so I got some money back towards replacing them, which I have done with a new type called Scotish small pipes, they are played with a bellows rather than blowing. They are better suited for indoor playing than my warpipes were. :)

I mentioned them in a thread a while ago about the Dubliner Bar in Caleta opening.

I will take this opportunity again to remind any forumer's if they hear of the bag pipes for sale, please let me know.

Cheers All   8)
