Yeh I heard too - there was a piece about it this morning on Today on Radio 4. I must say I'm a little worried about the drum sitting in my daughter's bedroom.

This isn't really that new though, T1020! A self-employed artist died in his home in the Scottish Borders in August 2006 after contracting septicaemia brought on by anthrax from the animal hides he imported to make drums and artefacts. Maybe it didn't make the English newspapers though since London is the centre of the universe, you know and there's nothing out there once you pass the Watford Gap   |

Don't talk to me about Gordon - he's a pretend Scot!! Just like all those throughout history who've sworn allegiance to their English puppet masters ....  and as for commerce being "shipped" to Bonnie Scotland ..... research has shown that a Scottish accent is considered the most honest accent and that is why a lot of call centres have been based in Scotland.

Call centres in Scotland,you are behind the times they are in India now, the last bloke I spoke to in an Indian call centre was an indian BUT he had a welsh accent,joking aside though you do make the best Whiskey in the world,even the japanese couldn't copy it!! Ah yes Nationalism, Tribalism, Clans its all the same I may even change my name to Mac Toubab, is that OK |

Ekkkkk I have half a dozen though they've been here for a few years so I assume im safe.
Scary thought though and theres loads of drumming workshops that visit local schools in Hackney that's bound to cause a panic.
No doubt these will be banned from being brought into the country as a terrorist alert ***sigh*** |
