The pipes and the general ferocity in battle of his regiment had put the fear of God into them.<BR/><BR/> Nowadays I'm sure the enemy would roll around laughing to see a bunch of fighting men approaching with muffled pipes just in case the noise infringed the enemies human rights to a peaceful existence as demanded by Nanny and the EU. Furthermore I can see the day when they are expected to use non-lethal ammunition and make sure bayonets are covered in case someone cuts themselves.<BR/><BR/> Personally, I'm all in favour of rounding up a few hundred pipers and drummers, heading to Strasbourg and subjecting the Eurocrats to a few tunes of glory.Kaptain_Vonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17625273381318758234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-52807310639069398952008-05-01T15:58:00.000+01:002008-05-01T15:58:00.000+01:00I suggest that the tosser who is responsible for t...I suggest that the tosser who is responsible for this proposal should be forced to go into the roughest pub in Glasgow, at about midnight on a Friday or Saturday night and repeat his idea out loud.
