chiton1 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Found this on YouTube http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=afLYBScd5do&...feature=related Nothing concertina related; but it just made me aware that I was spending too much time on my PC and too little on my EC! So I'm off to play now... Hermann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterT Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Nothing concertina related..... If you could harness that, the world's power crisis would be resolved! Now, where's that concertina........? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikefule Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Good lord! When he's in his teens, he's, er... excited. Is that allowed in an advert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermann You're right, there, Hermann - but don't let it go too far, like this (substitute "Counterstrike" with "The Old Concertina Reel") if you can't open the case, if you have a stuck button or - the worst case - you can't hit the right buttons in the right order /Henrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Husmann Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Good lord! When he's in his teens, he's, er... excited. Is that allowed in an advert? It´s not t-h-a-t, is it? Well, at least "the situation" has changed since being a boy child with a white blank spot down there. Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m3838 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I'm genuinly amazed at your tolerance. Truly nordic self-awareness. My hat is off to you. The Ad made me sick. Such sence of humor. It's probably some sort of primitive tongue in cheek. And who, besides some lazy game playing left-overs, can claim that life is short? It's long, guys, very long. The problem is how to fill it, not how to waste it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite impressed when he wrecks his keyboard and you see all these detached keys flying around! Do you imagine what such a fit would do with your vintage concertina, and what small fortune it would cost to repair/replace the instrument after each fit..... No I just take a deep breath and start all over again until I get that damn ''Old Concertina Reel'' as I want (more or less) Hermann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeeclipper Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 "Life is short - spend more time playing with yourself" ? Odd message, that. Sad that communing with pixels is now considered "life." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffwright Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Life is too short - play more C/G box. I have to spend all day in front of the pc as a job, but I find it a delight, as I have internet radio on all day and can listen to Irish sessions or whatever to my hearts content. I try to keep work and pleasure separate so keep my concertinas out of reach of my pc. They live downstairs next to my TV chair so whenever I want a tune, they are within reach - no excuse for not practising. Life is also too short to play a tune more than 3 times (unless there is a very good reason) - I would rather play 10 tunes twice through than 5 tunes four times through. (only my personal opinion and a bit of a wind-up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(only my personal opinion and a bit of a wind-up) Well, we know that being "Wright" isn't quite the same as being "right". In fact, it looks rather like a mixture of "Wrong" and "right".
