That's awesome...and hot. I know one certain member with a Clash avatar who would agree.

Or pluck it!

So I've heard.
Took you longer than I thought Dave but it's nice to know you got here eventually.

Some people work for a(n almost) living you know!
I play the piano - I don't listen to an aweful lot of classical music, but playing it is a whole different ball game I love it so much and it's so so thereputic.
I can play the guitar as well, but to be honest I think once you are very familiar with musical theory, all you have to do is locate the notes and I believe you can pretty much play anything (though of course probably not to concert level at first!)
Similar to ajp29 - play guitar mainly and a bit of piano/keyboard (got up to Grade 5 before packing in when changing job / first child coming along a couple of years ago).
That's allegedly a half decent grade for piano but, for some reason, I feel a lot more comfortable with the guitar.

Guitars (4!), bass (1), keyboards (3 + piano), blues harps (box full), alto sax (1 - recent new interest), flamenco cajón (snared percussion box) ... plus all the necessary amps and recording stuff. My long suffering wife doesn't totally appreciate having to dust around that lot!
You've obviously moved to Spain because there wasn't enough room in GB for all your stuff!

Pretty true actually! I built a small studio (3Mx2M) for that lot after we'd been here a while, but unfortunately with all the gear in it there's no room left for me any more. Replacement studio currently in the planning stage (6Mx5M) but the boss said I should finish putting the roof back on the room above it (which is in the process of becoming an art studio) first! Hard work these creative pursuits ... seem to involve a load of construction work!!!
Maybe it's time to buy a TV, a satellite dish to watch the TV in a proper language, and relax?

You sexist bastard!!!!
I can't play anything - except maybe my Casio organ.
Tried (not very hard and failed) piano, trombone, harmonica, guitar.
Lazy git!
I can play records.

Got almost 50 channels already ... only about 6 aren't in English ... and what's 'relax' if you're doing exactly what you want to be doing pretty much 24/7? This isn't supposed to sound stroppy by the way ... I've never quite got the hang of successfully adding a smiley to one of my posts!!!
You're probably using Firefox then. 
I'm a flautist, I blow
Yes, you're right. Something to do with that then!?! You wouldn't believe how many times I've tried ... :< ... best I can do!!
Edit ... Ooooh ... something happened that time!
