I will totally understand if you lock this one out straight away Theo for the sake of all that's sane.

Oh how I've missed it - asked Steve after TMD if he thought Theo would go ballistic if I sneaked in a new one for our rants, jokes or one liners not worth a new topic but decided not to risk sending off a set of reeds for TLC one day and receiving them back tied into neat little knots.....................

Please can we keep it until its a few pages long and then restart ???

Just unarthed (when sorting out my books) a 'nursery rhyme' book re-printed in 1988 but originally from 1914. (ISBN 0-907305-14-8) Its got loads of quirky versions of old nursery rhymes including extra verses and even some rhymes ive not heard of before. There's a nursery rhyme about a dusty millar...wonder if its anything to do with the tune?

and a poem I tried to do it based on one two buckle my shoe...beat that William McGonagal. ;)

One, Two, a pint for you
Three, Four, fiddlers I saw
Five, Six, banjo picks, and drum sticks
Seven, Eight, a story to relate
Nine, Ten, piano accordion
Eleven, Twelve, into songs of the past delve
Thirteen, Fourteen, 'tinas squeezing
Fifteen, Sixteen, woodwind's whistling
Seventeen, eighteen, melodeons a plenty
Nineteen, Twenty, my glass is empty

On a serious note, I think that having a thread drift thread is a very good idea. It is a place for all the nonsense that gets shoehorned into real threads a place to run around amok whilst not disturbing the calm, placid and serious discussion that goes on elsewhere ;)

Ha!  does that mean we need a 'Thread Drift' monitor who hoovers up all the thread drift and shakes it out here?   I can't see that working.  We would have a one topic forum! ;D

My other melodeon's a fiddle, but one of my Hohners has six strings! I also play a very red Hawkins Bazaar in C and a generic Klingenthaler spoon bass in F.!! My other pets (played) are gobirons - Hohner Marine Band in C, Hohner Tremolo in D and a Chinese Thingy Tremolo in G.

I have been on fora which that has been done actually. Sometimes it has worked. Generally though thread drift is interpreted as sheer nonsense :P

since I were given an Kindle eBook reader, I have visited the Amazon eBook discussions.
Thread drift is rampant there....

I've killed one thread drift topic.  I'm not about to start a thread drift genocide.  If you don't want this thread to continue don't post in it.
