Hi all, greetings from Portugal, Uilleann pipes are Bom Musica here you’ll be glad to know.
Um saúdo dende a Galiza, meu amigo
What is this shite?
No, no, that’s, “Que é esta merda?”. ![]()

djm:
Falas galego ou portugués?
Don’t worry Dionys, in the tacky resorts they speak English and sell hamburgers.
GalegoMan, eu estava falando a Dionys. Actually, I don’t speak either language. ![]()

Please.. Give me a fucking break. I speak multiple languages, travel quite frequently and have a great hatred for Hamburgers. A ‘resort’ is likely the last place on earth I’d be found. Just because I don’t happen to speak Portugese as one of my languages hardly marks me as someone who would choose Disneyland over anything.
Does Portugal really have tacky resorts? Perhaps it could be the site of hispano-Disney.
Who cares??? They got the bets Port wine in the world!!!
hmmm…there’s nothing quite like a good tawny port…
Dionys,
Isn’t travelling abroad supposed to make one more worldly? Ease off on the language and tone Dionys. If you don’t understand the language of the conversation, don’t partake in it. Hispanic refers to facets of culture with Spanish origin, not Portugese.
buskerSean - thanks for the compliment to Uilleann Pipers. We all suffer together to be able to play them.
Cheers,
Stonehands
Don’t take it personally, Dionys. I don’t like paprika either. ![]()

Who said it had anything to do with the language? I was responding to the fact that the poster posted the message 3 times.
He must be practising tight triplets. ![]()

Dionys, My apologies…I read into your message of “Shite” referring to the alternative language postings.
Cheers,
Stonehands
My mistake for not being more clear. Sorry for the misunderstanding ![]()
I can understand 2 foreign languages, English and Greek.
Anything that isn’t English is Greek to me ![]()
Actually, I speak hillbilly the most fluently.
I didn´t post it three times, a dodgy public internet machine in a hostel did.
Anyway, now in Seville, Espana where the pipes are also very much appriciated, even to the point of making a couple of Gallician women dance a ´polka´. Busking seems to be a step up from England here with most people being miked up and hatting at the cafes. Also had the good fortune to find ´Hostal Amadaeus´ a music hotel in the medival quarter with soundproofed rooms! Also amazing luxary at prices which would get you much back in Blighty. Instuments and sheetmusic are displayed all over the place and I have a piano in my room.
Off to see some flamenco tonight, although they don´t start ´till 11pm. The pubs are shut back home then!
