Extenuating circumstances, honest

I think it should be legal to kill bagpipers.
Especially bagpipers who busk.
Particularly those who busk the same 3 tunes, very badly, ad infinitum.
But above all bagpipers who busk less than 500 yards from your office. All afternoon. All afternoon when you're trying to collate together and format a 300+ page document from about 8 separate other documents and the end result is full of graphs and tables and references and footnotes which you have to check whilst listening to that wailing screech outside that even playing full volume Atari Teenage Riot on your ipod wont drown out.

I can see it now. "Well officer, he started in on his 5th consequtive rendition of 'Speed Bonny Boat' and I just snapped"
No jury in the world would convinct me. And it would be a mercy killing really. For everyone involved.

I'm sorry if anyone here plays the bagpipes, btw.
Not sorry if you're offended, just sorry you play the bagpipes.

Hahahaha! Hilarious! This is a perfect start to my day.

I'm glad it amused somebody! It was a headache-inducing end to mine, I'll tell you.

...I've just noticed that the LJ ads below this comment box are all advertising Scottish Bagpipe players. Do these people want me to go on a rampage?!

[fredbassett]

I've just wept laughing after seeing the ads, I didn't notice them before!!

They're out to get you, sweetie, it's a conspiracy !!!

[neur0vanity.livejournal.com]

That's awful!

[fredbassett]

Yep, I've checked the legal precedents, looks like it's legal!

Oops, that was me dreaming an AU legal dream, but it should be legal, it really should, I'll sign the petition!!

I recommend Ian Edgerton and his rifle :)

[oddegg.livejournal.com]

Yes! Where is Ian when you need him?
Too busy shagging those Eppes boys to deal with the real problems, that's where!

But he's hot, so I have to forgive him : )

I've just had a wonderful night watching eps 1 & 2 of S3. Double does of Edgerton. *thud* iz ded. Very hot, all three of them. There were lots of pure arm!porn shots of Don in a tee shirt with a big gun. God that man's got sexy tendons .........I sooooooo need a cold shower. And must, must, must sort out a viable plot for my Primeval/Num3rs crossover ............. I've got a few scenes, but now need to decide how to fit it all together ...........

Don. T-shirt. Big gun. Sexy tendons. - - - -
...I'm trying to work out how to show that throaty gargling noise Homer makes around donuts in symbol shorthand...what's the command for, oh yes ::drooooool::

I am SO looking forward to S3 on DVD. As I have useless terrestrial tv I haven't seen any yet, boo-hoo.

And re P/N crossover? Yes, you must, must, must! Pretty please with sugar
(Edgerton - I'll give you 'sugar' any time you want, baby.... [I need to stop that now])

[fredbassett]

I think I've gone into lust overdrive ........

Aww, I like the bagpipes. Granted any song played over and over again should be shut up. For like a week, my former boss would walk by my desk singing the same song, like ever hour. It drove me a bit batty, and that was just every hour.
