Honestly, I haven't thought about that. *hides pile of scores I've been drooling on*

Does listening to Copeland count? (A band, not a composer.) It relaxes me.

Do you ever actually relax, or does music occupy you constantly.

*Scratches head, cuts off a lump of cheese,
You forgot the Havarti...

gulps down milk,
goat's?

fiddles with remote switch,
You should get so lucky!

contemplates bed,
As above.

switches off telly,
Assuming that it was even on in the first place.

puts milk in fridge,
Ewes' this time?

hides evidence of snack,
Well, if egg substitute is involved, that might be perfectly understandable.

clears up crumbs from floor,
Might you reasonably suppose that any such even needs to be cleared up therefrom?

closes down computer,
Ever done that yourself?

switches off lights, makes sure back door is locked, draws curtains, goes upstairs, cleans teeth,
This reminds me of the old gag about "time to wind up the cat and put out the clock"...

says prayers,
Hey, this is Karli, not pianistimo, that you are talking about here...

chooses book to read, kisses teddy,
Teddy who?

gets into bed, decides not to read, switches off bedside light, goes to sleep, wakes up, has shower, eats porridge,
Or something rather more complex than that, methinks...

gets in car, goes to work, answers the phone, goes to lunch, answers the phone again, goes home, has dinner, looks at pianostreets, scratches head, cuts off lump of cheese etc...*

I claim to be no more an expert in this than you appear to be in inserting the appropriate apostrophe in "someone's" but, having first selected "quote", all you have to do is insert an opening square bracket, a forward slash, the word quote and a closing square bracket (without any intervening spaces) immediately following each section of of another member's post to which you wish to respond, then type your response, then copy the poster's header before repeating this process as many times as you see fit and there is text to which to respond.

I doubt you could do a "respectable imitation" of a Scottish accent. You are probably under the impression that we are all red-haired, dance in "skirts" (as foreign people call them) and chase after Haggis with rocks.

They would have to be very drunk first. That's when the real Scottish accent is achieved.

Thats fine, as long as you don't think we all speak with a pooosh, 1920s accent. Times have moved on, so now we speak with a Essex Chav dialect! (well those of us from near London ) LOL

I'm not sure if I would say my accents / dialect is cool. I do try to pronouce my ' T's though.

Ha Ha! Of course its not an animal!... There are people out there who actually think a haggis is an animal! :o :o OMG :o so funny.

Well for those poor people that live in ingorance, a haggis is minced mutton ( sheep ) and oats, some other suff I don't really know, cooked in a sheep's stomach.

And for those of you who are going to say ewwwwwww! You quite happily much on sauages that are made up of all kinds of parts of animals and the skin of a sauages is a pig's intestine ( if its a real sauage ).

nice :P
