I can understand the first three but the last one I can only offer the advice to keep off the brussels
Most bagpipes have at least one drone: a pipe which is generally not fingered but rather produces a constant harmonizing note throughout play. Exceptions are generally those pipes which have a double-chanter instead. A drone is most commonly a cylindrically-bored tube with a single reed, although drones with double reeds exist. The drone is generally designed in two or more parts with a sliding joint so that the pitch of the drone can be adjusted.
Depending on the type of pipes, the drones may lie over the shoulder, across the arm opposite the bag, or may run parallel to the chanter. Some drones have a tuning screw, which effectively alters the length of the drone by opening a hole, allowing the drone to be tuned to two or more distinct pitches. The tuning screw may also shut off the drone altogether. In most types of pipes, where there is one drone it is pitched two octaves below the tonic of the chanter. Additional drones often add the octave below and then a drone consonant with the fifth of the chanter
My brussels are sprouting, my parsnips proliferating, my leeks thickening and my cabbages kingsize. Roll on winter feasts though my lavatory may be forgiven for thinking it’s had a fully inflated bagpipe thrust down its u-bend at approximately 8.30 every morning, with oft-times a reprise at circa 9.15
Is that really you in the first photo, Ephraim?
Can I have permission to face in the hole you?…..

Can I have permission to face in the hole you?…..A few years ago now and the years haven’t been kind. Be warned Gingertipster, this is what results from too many nights spent worrying about value and percentages

Morning. I’m just making some tea
Really, sir? Perhaps I could…
No, I may as well do it now. I’ve got quite used to looking after myself
It’s surprising how much one can assimilate in a day
Iit says here it’s best to use hot water, but after boiling it may again become hard
that’s ice isn’t it?
and it says here ‘one teaspoon per person and one for the pot’
why does the pot get one?
If you’d allow me sir
not bad, Nathan, not bad
