I was a member of Piping Connection before under the name MacSpadger, (Which is what my Dad used to call me. Why? I dunno, he was from Hamilton and they are strange there). But when I went to log in one day you'se had all buggered aff and left me. I'm currently not permanently attached to any pipe band, but I'll probably join up with one before the year is out.
