Is there an obvious repertoire of tunes for this useful variant?

Didn't the inestimable Mr Hoffnung orchestrate for 3 vacuum cleaners and a 
floor 
polisher?

It was a long time ago, but I have the LP somewhere...

   Ever had one of those moments when you realize you've been working in
   the wrong direction all along?  I've been working hard so that my
   piping would NOT suck.

 the 
streaming eyes and waterfall nose generated by the Northumbrian 
grassland on that day entirely surpassed all my previous experience.


Horrible isn't it? and it's not just (Northumbrian) grassland. I used to suffer 
from dustmites all year round until a suitable treatment was found.

Enough indeed.

Sorry, how can you tell I have far too much to do today and am seeking

   Would we get round to organising them, though, Julia?

Its called constructive procrastination, Richard.
I'm getting to be an expert on it, too.
Shall we run courses on it in our spare time?

My first major hay-fever attack came on a school trip to Chesters fort. 
Although I had been a sniffely and sneezy youth up to that point, the 
streaming eyes and waterfall nose generated by the Northumbrian 
grassland on that day entirely surpassed all my previous experience.


Perhaps the Northumbrian plaid was developed as a large scale handkerchief.

Enough!

   In response to an unmet need for harvest tunes, and incidentally tunes
   commemorating Northumbrian wildlife, I was inspired to write this after
   an afternoon's piping with Edmund in Northumberland,

   when Edmund, Gisela and I all went for a walk afterwards...

   If anyone feels this deserves a set of irritating variations,

   inspiration!

For pity sake, would you let it go already?...
Does anyone here actually knows Tickell personally and has her
contact? I want to match her up with Gibbons, so they can have a pint
together and sort out these issues.

And for that matter, I would appreciate any help in also tracking down
actress Scarlett Johansson personal contact...for a pint and a
friendly chat. Of course I would have to avoid saying stupid things
that would completely ruin the mood, like ...here's some funny stuff:
I play the bagpipes! and How do you feel about Staccatto? I prefer
legatto myself or even worst: Say, there's a friend of mine who
plays Small pipes...wait, where are you going? Come back, please! I
love you.
