I watched him getting his position today, I also heard him make a sligh mistake when trying to repeat the words that the wee guy was telling him to say then listen to him talk for ages withouth hardly a hesitation for all those words he has probably spent months memorising.

I just cannot imagine all that hype for a british prime minister and thank goodness for that.
All those folk up that road and the vast majority would not even have catched a glimpse of him yet they felt the need to be there.
Some say they were there to witness history?????? witness history because he is the first black president? I know black folk have had it hard for years there and they think that Obama will change everything because of the postition he is in, loads voted for him because of his skin and not his politics.
I just think all this first black president thing has went a bit OTT. shouldnt make such a big deal about it. Making such a big deal about it just shows even more that there is a difference with colour even when there shouldnt be.
I dont think there has ever been a black PM here, maybe I should elect the first black politician for PM that comes along just as folk voted for maggie thatcher in 1979 just because she was a woman?

I dont know much about Obamas politics, not yet but I am sure the whole world will soon and I wish him all the luck in the world as America is the most powerful nation on earth and what happens there has an impact on the rest of the world, not just america.

But he does look quiet a liekable guy, maybe because of his youthful looks? or seen as a family man? or maybe his wife is nicer looking than any other first lady i have seen? Hilray was not bad one time though

aye so all the best to him

I still really hate all politicians though

Ken

I could get lost in that website,lol.
Good link cheers. Makes me want the 17 year old rum cask.
But since my bottle of 12 year old double wood is finished I will start my Bunnahabhain next weekend before I open my Glenrothes then the MacCallen, then thats all my christmas whisky gone

Ken

what a thread,
must be one of the best yet
everyone going off on different tangents, is that the right word? never mind, Just thought I would add more nonsense into this threadas I sit here listening to tom Paxton at 00:02 with a glass of balvenie, two ice cubes and a little water.
Just watched snakes on a plane and thinking I am glad I never went to the pictures to see it.

well thats all.

any more nonsense?

ken

sorry Jim,
I and other have not been ignoring you.
I think this would be better answered by Per.

Hopefully he will see this and reply soon, try emailing him.

Selso,

I believe kids should be taught folk songs, traditional songs from their own land.
As well as it being musical it is a cultural thing too, educational.

Ken

I actually like Jeromes response. Something similar to what i was thinking of saying but his poster says it all.

Ken

well if you wont miss the money then go for it and worry about storage later,
Just dont tell your wife until you take it home and burn the sellers name,number and address so there is no going back

Ken

that seems to be the favourite advise in chordie and the entire world for anything, lol.

But it is true.

Goodluck with your practicing, you will find a way round your ..... your....... I dont know what to call it around your fingerless situation?

I know a guy that plays guitar and he only has one hand. His right arm from the elbow down is not there. He now has a metal thin that fixes onto his arm and at the end is only a plectrum.

As well as some you have heard here with obstructions to playing they all find a way round. If you want something or want to do something bad enough you will.
So,, ,lol, here it comes again...
Practice.

All the best

Ken

i like this too.

Ken

also in the chat section at the top there is a list of easy songs to play.

Ken

mate,
I never refer to the irish or welsh as taffies or paddies, this is mostly the english that do this. I am not saying that maybe some scots do call them the names that the londoners gave them
And sassanach is gaelic for lowlander, not just english, it also refers to the southern  scotland dwellers.
And maybe a few scots do see themselves as jocks ( which is another name for Ian) but this is because of the way they are talked about from thos south of the border. I know more people that hate the term than i do that accept it. It was the english that decided to give this name to us.Because Jock is a scottish name and it rhymes with sock they think it is funny to call us jocks or sweaty socks.
I am not getting into an argument here over this. I have asked you nicely not to refer scottish people as Jocks as I and most people I know do not like it. I will leave it at that,

I definetly do not do PC either but I will not have me or my fellow countrymen called this in chordie, nor would I let anyone call anyone other names if folk did not like it.
This has nothing to do with being PC.

thank you
now wheres the cans of Irn Bru?

hmm na forget them I have still got 6 good bottles of single malt left over from Christmas.

ok Hi matelot and welcome to chordie.

I saw yer original first post when you posted it 1 minutes after ye posted it but see after I saw ye played that big brass thing I thought I am not replying to him

yes, I am joking. But I did see yer post a few hours after ye posted but I dont think i could answer so i never. some of us do that.
I read a lot of posts here and I dont leave a reply to most. If I did I would probably be going through the divorce courts just now on the grounds of my wife and kids not getting on the computer.
If I said welcome to chordie to every new comer I would not have time to do much else as we keep getting more and more,
but yer right a simple hello and welcome is not hard to do.....just call me lazy and cheeky with no manners and idle and lovely

Hope you enjoy your life here in chordie, there is no going back now

Ken
