yep free condoms were also going to stop teen pregnancy and the murder of the unborn. Dream on.

Toni,

Spot on;
a great frirnd of mine, the late Declan Affley, Uillean piper, folk singer and an all-round nice bloke was turned away from three hospitals because he was assumed to be drunk, he died very suddenly at home that same night.

"Affley was well known as a singer of traditional songs such as "Carrickfergus" as well as performing the work of contemporary songwriters including John Dengate, Don Henderson and Harry Robertson. He died suddenly at the age of 45 from a dissecting aneurysm of the aorta"

Criminal. A Uillean piper is one of a rare breed; they're too precious to lose.

Toni,

Thanks for the link, I'd not seen that one before.

"A Uillean piper is one of a rare breed; they're too precious to lose"

I know that full well!!
I play them for my own amusement/satisfaction, 'twas Declan that got me started back in the 1970s.
Two of my sons and one or the daughters are pipers but on the "normal" bagpipes.

Think some need to take a look at them selves, those places setup so drugs could be taken in a safe place did not come about to make it easy but to stop deaths from over dose.
And as NSW is seeing as parents of past victims come forward to support more penalty's for dealers in death, such as bikers, some times the victim is a sweet kid
How can we not see it is time we did something?
Can we ignore the great damage cash from this grubby industry does, buys court judgments, police officers, politicians?
Doing some thing has to be better than let them die do nothing
Tony Lavis in my time as a construction union official I knew many with such injurys, and never met one who as first wish, did not want to be back to the day before the pain began

Great highland bagpipes, Is Mise. Easier to play, but I don't think they sound quite as nice as well played Uilleann pipes. Still a fiendishly difficult instrument of course.... sadly I never even mastered the practice chanter. I'm not what you'd call musical. I think it runs in families, and there's nobody that you'd call musical in my immediate family.

And of course, the advantage of the GHB (not to be confused with the other GHB) over Uilleann pipes is that they're a heck of a lot louder, which means you can do this with them:

Every town in this country should employ an official piper - to be wheeled out for ceremonial functions, but mostly for pest control purposes.
